Scottsdale Airpark North

What Scottsdale Airpark North's governing documents say

North Scottsdale Airpark is a commercial/industrial subdivision governed by a Declaration of Easements, Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs). This community is designed for light industrial and office uses only—no residential use is allowed. The rules bind lot owners (not tenants directly) and are enforced by the Declarant (developer) or, if later created, an association.

• Permitted & prohibited uses: Only light industrial and office uses are allowed, entirely within enclosed buildings. Prohibited uses include residential, trailer courts, junk yards, fat rendering, stockyards, animal operations, and any use that creates a nuisance or violates environmental laws.
• Architectural review & construction standards: All improvements (buildings, fences, signs, etc.) require advance written approval of final plans by Declarant, with a $250 review fee. Exterior materials are restricted (no sheet metal or exposed aggregate), and minimum setbacks are 50 feet from streets, 15 feet from side lot lines, and 20 feet from rear lot lines.
• Parking, loading & storage: Each lot must provide on-site parking meeting specific ratios: 1 space per 600 sq ft of industrial space or 1 per 250 sq ft of office space. No parking is allowed within 20 feet of front lot lines, 10 feet of side, or 5 feet of rear. All storage must be screened, and loading docks must be set back at least 70 feet from street rights-of-way.
• Landscaping & maintenance: At least 15% of each lot and 15% of parking areas must be landscaped. Trees are required per perimeter and parking (e.g., 1 tree per 20 parking spaces). Owners must maintain all improvements in good condition, repaint exteriors every 4 years, and keep lots weed-free. Declarant may perform maintenance and charge the owner if they fail.
• Assessments & liens: An annual assessment is levied per lot (based on land area square footage) to cover monument signage and common area maintenance. Assessments are due quarterly and, if unpaid, become a lien on the lot with 12% annual interest plus a 15% administrative fee for remedial work. The lien is subordinate to first mortgages.
• Signs & lighting: Only signs identifying the business or offering the lot for sale/lease are allowed, subject to Declarant's written approval. Exterior lighting must be shielded from adjoining lots and streets; parking lot light fixtures max height 16 feet.
• Term & amendments: The Declaration runs for 20 years (from 1994) and renews automatically for 10-year terms unless revoked by Declarant and 75% of lot owners. Amendments require Declarant's consent while it owns property, and after 20 years, 75% owner approval if Declarant no longer owns.
