Mccormick Ranch

What Mccormick Ranch's governing documents say

This document is a Declaration of Restrictions for a commercial/industrial portion of McCormick Ranch in Scottsdale, AZ. It applies to property owners and tenants within that area, not to residential homeowners. The property is restricted to offices, service industries, commercial, or light industrial uses; residential use is prohibited except for a caretaker. The restrictions were recorded in 1999 and run with the land until 2021, with automatic 10-year renewals unless terminated by 75% of owners.

• Permitted uses: Only offices, service industries, commercial, or light industrial uses that do not produce smoke, soot, dust, fumes, noise, or vibration beyond the premises. Light manufacturing is allowed if confined to a building; minor ancillary activities may be outside if screened.
• Prohibited uses: Residential (except for a caretaker or operator employed on-site), trailer courts, labor camps, junk yards, petroleum refining, cemeteries, jails, gasoline service stations (except at designated sites), and 18 other specific operations are banned.
• Parking & loading: Parking and loading facilities must be sufficient to serve the business without using adjacent streets; no off-site parking unless in designated areas. Overnight trailer parking is prohibited outside an approved perimeter wall.
• Architectural control & exterior maintenance: All new construction, signs, antennas, and changes in use require prior written approval. Temporary structures need approval and must be removed after construction. Exterior storage, machinery, and equipment must be screened from view. Roofs must not be mineral, composition, corrugated plastic, or sheet metal unless approved. Exterior lighting has maximum heights (16 ft for parking lot, 12 ft for walkway). Gutters and downspouts must match surface color.
• Maintenance & nuisances: Property must be maintained to the highest standard of similar properties in Scottsdale. No unsightly appearance, noxious conditions, or activities that endanger health or constitute a nuisance. Underground sprinklers required in all landscaped areas. Ground must be covered to eliminate bare dirt.
• Term & amendments: Initial term runs through December 31, 2021, then automatically renews for successive 10-year periods unless terminated by a written declaration signed by 75% of owners (in number and full cash value). Amendments require 80% of owners (in number and full cash value) and recording.
• Enforcement & delegation: Declarant (developer) had primary enforcement rights until December 31, 1991, or until full development, after which enforcement vests in the property owners or their association. Architectural control is reserved to a committee of commercial owners within McCormick Ranch Center. Declarant may delegate powers to that committee.
