Lone Mountain Vista

What Lone Mountain Vista's governing documents say

Lone Mountain Vista is a single-family residential homeowners' association (HOA) in Scottsdale, AZ — you own your lot and home, and the association maintains limited common amenities (perimeter walls, landscaping, private roads) funded by assessments. The rules here apply to all homeowners and their guests, tenants, and invitees. This is the full governing declaration (CC&Rs) that defines property rights, architectural controls, use restrictions, and assessment obligations.

• Single-family residential use: All lots must be used exclusively for single-family residential purposes. Only one private residence, a garage (max 4 cars), and a guest house (attached unless approved) are allowed. No churches, group homes, halfway houses, or gainful occupations. Construction must be completed within 12 months unless the Architectural Control Committee grants relief.
• Minimum floor area: Every house must have at least 3,000 square feet of floor area, excluding open porches, carports, garages, guest houses, or servants' quarters. The Architectural Control Committee may grant variances.
• Architectural review: All exterior improvements (buildings, fences, walls, landscaping, lighting, solar panels, pools, etc.) require prior written approval from the Architectural Control Committee. Plans must include plot plans, building plans, and landscaping plans. A processing fee may be charged. The Committee can grant variances for hardship but aims to preserve scenic views and maintain a harmonious southwestern character.
• Landscaping & scenic easements: Landscaping visible from neighboring property must follow an approved plan and be completed within 60 days after construction. Desert landscaping is preferred; no box, globe, or hedge-like pruning. Owners must keep lots free of trash and weeds; the Association may step in and charge the cost as an assessment. Reciprocal scenic easements exist to protect views; vegetation must not unreasonably restrict views from other dwellings.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments are levied uniformly per lot. The maximum annual assessment can increase each year by up to 15% without a membership vote; any increase above that requires a 2/3 vote of owners. Special assessments for capital improvements also require a 2/3 vote. Lot-specific assessments may be levied to cure violations. Late payments bear 18% interest and are secured by a lien on the lot, subordinate to first mortgages.
• Leasing & rentals: An entire lot may be rented to a single family for a minimum term of one month (no short-term or vacation rentals). Leases must require the tenant to comply with all governing documents; noncompliance is grounds for lease termination. Owners are responsible for their tenants' compliance.
• Parking & vehicles: No motor homes, boats, recreational vehicles, commercial vehicles, trailers, campers, dune buggies, or two/three-wheeled vehicles may be stored on lots or streets (except emergency repairs or temporary construction shelters). Garages must be used for parking and storage only; garage doors must stay closed except when entering/exiting. Only operable, registered automobiles may be parked in uncovered areas.
• Pets: A reasonable number of dogs, cats, or other commonly recognized household pets may be kept as a privilege, but not for commercial breeding or keeping. Pets must be confined to the owner's lot and not tied or chained outdoors. The Architectural Control Committee determines what constitutes a reasonable number and may deem a pet a nuisance.
