Cornerstone at Queen Creek

What Cornerstone at Queen Creek's governing documents say

Cornerstone at Queen Creek is a commercial shopping center in Queen Creek, AZ. This Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions governs the development, maintenance, and use of individual parcels within the center. It applies to owners (fee simple or ground leaseholders) and their tenants, customers, and invitees. The document is the full rulebook for the property, not a partial or ancillary fragment.

• Architectural & development review: All exterior improvements, including buildings, signage, landscaping, and parking, require Declarant's prior written approval. Plans must be submitted and approved before construction. Any alterations after approval also need consent. The review ensures architectural compatibility and quality.
• Assessments & common area costs: Each owner pays a share of Common Area Maintenance (CAM) costs and an administrative fee (15% of CAM) based on the gross leasable area of their building. Payments are due monthly in advance, with annual reconciliation. Delinquent assessments incur 18% default interest and may become a lien against the parcel.
• Use restrictions: Parcels may only be used for lawful purposes. Drive-through facilities must not obstruct other parcels or traffic. Hazardous materials are prohibited except in compliance with law. No sign may be installed without Declarant approval and town permits.
• Maintenance responsibilities: Owners must maintain their buildings and improvements in good condition, including structural elements, systems, and equipment. Exterior walls, drive-through areas, loading docks, and sidewalks are owner responsibilities. Declarant initially maintains common areas but can delegate obligations to owners.
• Signs: All signs (excluding interior signs not visible outside) require Declarant approval under the architectural review process and permits from the town. Signs must conform to the comprehensive sign program for the shopping center.
• Transfer & assignment rules: An owner may transfer its parcel only if the transferee agrees in writing to be bound by this Declaration. The transferring owner remains liable for pre-transfer defaults unless the transferee assumes them. No assignment of rights under the Declaration is allowed except through a parcel transfer.
• Enforcement & remedies: Declarant has exclusive enforcement rights and may seek damages, injunction, or specific performance for breaches. It can use self-help after 30 days notice and recover costs plus default interest. Unpaid amounts become a lien on the parcel, subject to prior recorded liens and mortgages.
