Martin Valley

What Martin Valley's governing documents say

Martin Valley is a planned community in Coolidge, AZ, governed by a pre-annexation and development agreement between the city and the developer (Pulte Homes). This is NOT a homeowners' rulebook — it binds the city and developer, not residents. It sets the framework for annexation, zoning, infrastructure, and eventual formation of a master homeowners' association (HOA). Future homeowners, buyers, and renters should know that specific community rules will come later from the HOA's CC&Rs, not this document.

• Document type & who it binds: This is a development agreement between the City of Coolidge and the property owner (Pulte Homes). It does not directly bind residents or tenants. The city and developer are required to follow its terms.
• Density & land use: The property is planned for up to 4.0 dwelling units per gross acre overall, with individual phases allowed up to 10% higher density. Uses are limited to those in the PAD Plan, which includes single-family residential and open space (minimum 15% overall open space).
• HOA formation requirement: Before the first residential building permit, the developer must form a master homeowners' association (HOA) that will maintain trails, drainage, landscaping, and private common areas. The HOA will be governed by CC&Rs, which are not included in this document.
• Infrastructure & services: The developer is responsible for constructing roads, sewer, drainage, and other infrastructure. The city will eventually accept and maintain them. In the interim, the owner must pay a fire operating deficit of $600,000 per year, reduced as occupancy reaches certain thresholds.
• Termination & duration: The agreement lasts 15 years from approval, automatically extending to 25 years if any portion of the property is still undeveloped. It automatically terminates if no material infrastructure is built within 5 years.
• What this document doesn't cover: This document does not contain community rules (e.g., pet limits, leasing restrictions, architectural standards, parking, or noise). Those will be in the future HOA's CC&Rs and are not yet available. It also does not address fees or assessments for homeowners.
