Rancho Pequeno

What Rancho Pequeno's governing documents say

Rancho Pequeno is a small, single-family home HOA in Scottsdale, AZ — just three luxury lots with strict architectural and design controls. This CC&R creates an association that enforces a uniform Southwestern/Territorial look and limits uses to residential only. Buyers here agree to heavy oversight of exterior changes, landscaping, and even daily parking habits.

• Residential use & occupancy: Each lot is for a single-family residence only. A 'Single Family' is defined as persons related by blood/marriage/adoption, or up to three unrelated persons living as a household. No commercial or business use is allowed, and timeshares are prohibited.
• Architectural control & design: All exterior improvements — homes, fences, paint, landscaping, even solar panels — need written approval from the Architectural Committee. The design must be Southwestern, Territorial, or Southwestern Contemporary (no Tudor, Colonial, or Contemporary styles). Minimum dwelling size is 3,500 sq ft (excluding garage, porch, etc.), and max height is 24 feet.
• Pets & animals: Only a 'reasonable number' of ordinary household pets are allowed. No farm animals, fowl, or poisonous reptiles. Pets must be leashed outside the owner's lot and cannot create a nuisance. The committee decides what is reasonable.
• Vehicles & parking: All vehicles should be parked in the garage. On-street parking is limited to 4 hours or less. No RVs, boats, campers, or trucks over 3/4 ton may be kept in the community without committee approval. Garage doors must be kept closed except temporarily.
• Landscaping & natural areas: Lots must be landscaped within 90 days of certificate of occupancy, using indigenous plants. Non-indigenous trees over 15 ft mature height are banned. Areas outside building envelopes must be left natural and undisturbed. City natural-area open-space rules apply and owners are liable for fines.
• Maintenance responsibilities: Each owner maintains their own lot, including all shrubs, trees, landscaping, exterior walls, fences, and roofs — all in compliance with architectural rules. Utility charges for water, sewer, gas, electric, phone, and cable are paid by the owner.
• Signs, antennas & window covers: Signs are banned unless approved, except for standard real estate signs complying with city rules. No exterior antennas or satellite dishes without committee approval. Window covers must be conventional curtains, drapes, or blinds — no foil or reflective materials.
• What this document doesn't cover: This CC&R does not specify any age restrictions, rental lease minimums, pet limits (number or weight), or HOA assessment amounts. Those details would be in the association's bylaws or separate rules.
