Hastings Farms

What Hastings Farms's governing documents say

Hastings Farms is a master-planned single-family home community in Queen Creek, AZ, governed by a Master Association (Hastings Farms Community Association) and possibly sub-associations. This Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, Restrictions and Easements (CC&Rs) establishes a general plan for development and applies to all lot owners, residents, and lessees. It covers use restrictions, architectural control, maintenance responsibilities, and assessment obligations.

• Architectural review: Any improvements visible from neighboring property (including landscaping, swimming pools, fences, and exterior changes) require prior written approval from the Architectural Committee. Unapproved work may be subject to enforcement. The committee can charge a review fee and may require a bond.
• Use restrictions: All residential units must be used exclusively as single-family residences. No time-sharing, business, or trade may be conducted on a lot or in a unit unless it is not detectable from outside and complies with zoning and community standards. Home-based businesses are allowed if they are inconspicuous, no client visits, and consistent with residential character.
• Vehicles & parking: Motor vehicles must be stored in a garage when not in use; driveway parking is allowed only if the garage is full. Recreational vehicles (RVs, boats, trailers) are prohibited unless not visible from neighboring property or allowed by Design Guidelines. Short-term loading/unloading on driveways is permitted. Inoperable vehicles must not be visible. The Board may tow violating vehicles at owner expense.
• Pets & animals: Only a reasonable number of common household pets (Permitted Pets) are allowed, kept as domestic pets not for commercial purposes. No pets may be a nuisance or make unreasonable noise. Pet structures must not be visible from neighboring property. Pets on common areas must be leashed and waste removed promptly.
• Landscaping & maintenance: Within 90 days of purchasing a constructed lot (or 180 days for fully enclosed backyards), owners must install landscaping with irrigation per approved plans. The Master Association may install landscaping at owner cost if deadlines are missed. Walls on lot boundaries are shared maintenance between adjoining owners; walls facing common areas are maintained by the association on the common-area side.
• Leasing & rentals: Leasing a residential unit is permitted and is not considered a business. No lease term minimums or restrictions are stated in this excerpt. However, all lessees must comply with the Declaration and Master Association Rules.
• Nuisance & debris: No accumulations of rubbish, debris, or odors are allowed. Trash must be in covered containers and not visible from neighboring property except during collection. Construction activities and materials must be kept neat and screened.
