Crismon Ranch Estates

What Crismon Ranch Estates's governing documents say

Crismon Ranch Estates is a planned residential subdivision of single-family detached homes in Queen Creek, AZ, governed by a Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs). These rules apply to all lot owners and are intended to maintain the community's character as a multi-purpose horseman-friendly neighborhood. A separate recorded covenant requires membership in a groundwater replenishment district for water supply assurance.

• Residential use & building restrictions: Lots are for single-family residential use only. Only one dwelling per lot, max two stories or 30 feet high. Accessory buildings (guest houses, garages, barns, tack rooms) are allowed if incidental to residential use. No business, multi-family, boarding, or commercial activities. No temporary structures (mobile homes, trailers, etc.) may be used as a permanent residence.
• Minimum home size: Each single-family residence must have at least 1,800 square feet of livable area, excluding open porches, porte-cocheres, pergolas, and garages. For split-level homes, the minimum applies to grade-level and above-ground floors combined.
• Horse privileges & animal restrictions: The subdivision is intended for horsemen, with non-commercial raising of horses allowed subject to county and town laws. All animals must be fenced or controlled; no commercial breeding or boarding. Swine, peacocks, and geese are prohibited. Care facilities must be clean and not a nuisance.
• Architectural review: An Architectural Control Committee (ACC) must approve all plans for residences, barns, fences, landscaping, color schemes, and exterior changes. Submit two copies of plans with a fee. The ACC can approve or disapprove based on aesthetics and harmony. No changes without written approval; if no response in 30 days, approval is deemed granted (but must still comply with restrictions).
• Parking & vehicles: Private passenger cars, pick-up trucks, and horse trailers may park on prepared areas. Inoperable vehicles must be kept in an enclosed garage. No ATVs or motor-driven vehicles may use easements within the subdivision.
• Fences & landscaping: Fences at subdivision or lot boundaries must be three-rail steel pipe. Chain link is allowed for small animals if combined with steel pipe. No wood or barbed wire. All lots must be landscaped; a detailed plan must be submitted to the ACC. Two 24-inch box trees (specific species) must be planted per lot, with placement rules for certain lots. A light post is required in each front yard.
• Additional restrictions & utilities: No elevated tanks (must be buried or screened). All clotheslines, garbage cans, and service yards must be screened. Air conditioning equipment must be on the ground or screened. All utility lines must be underground except pedestals and transformers. No open fires or incinerators (barbecues allowed). Storm drainage must not be obstructed; easements for utilities, equestrian trails, and irrigation ditches must remain clear.
• Leasing & rentals: A single 'For Sale' or 'For Rent' sign up to 6 square feet is permitted on a lot. No other advertising signs are allowed. The CC&Rs do not specify minimum lease terms or additional rental restrictions.
