The Newport at Tempe

What The Newport at Tempe's governing documents say

The Newport at Tempe is a planned residential community in Tempe, AZ, consisting of 38 single-family homes (Lots) governed by a homeowners' association (the Association). This Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions sets out the rules for homeowners, lessees, and occupants. The Association maintains common elements and enforces the rules; each Lot has one vote and an equal share of common expenses.

• Residential use & occupancy: Lots must be used exclusively for residential purposes by a single family. No trade or business may be conducted on a Lot unless it is not detectable from outside, involves no employees who are not residents, and complies with zoning. Leasing a Lot is not considered a business.
• Leasing & rentals: An Owner may lease only their entire Lot, with a minimum lease term of six months. Subleasing and assignments are prohibited. The Owner must provide the Association with a copy of the signed lease and contact information at least ten days before the lease starts. The Owner is liable for any violations by their lessees or occupants.
• Pets: No more than two domestic pets (dog, cat, fish, or bird) may be kept per Lot. Pets must be indoor house pets; no outdoor structures for pets. Dogs must be leashed (max 6 ft) when outside the Lot, and owners must clean up feces. The Board may adopt rules on pet height/weight with member approval.
• Vehicles & parking: Only private passenger vehicles, SUVs, vans, golf carts, motorcycles, and pickup trucks under 1 ton are allowed. No boats, RVs, trailers, or commercial vehicles unless stored in an enclosed garage. Parking is first in the garage, then assigned parking spaces. Guest parking limited to 72 consecutive hours. Vehicles may not be repaired or stored (e.g., covered) outside a closed garage.
• Maintenance responsibilities: The Association maintains common elements and certain 'Areas of Association Responsibility' including ground-level landscaping (except within courtyards), parking spaces, and perimeter walls. Each Owner maintains the interior and exterior of their dwelling, landscaping in their courtyard, and the side of any party wall facing their Lot. Owners must keep their Lot neat and free of debris.
• Architectural & exterior modifications: Exterior changes, including signs (except by Declarant or Association), window coverings, antennas, solar panels, satellite dishes, fences, and playground equipment, require prior written approval from the Association or Board. Basketball goals and backboards are limited to portable ones subject to rules. No clotheslines, exterior speakers (except security), or reflective materials are allowed without approval.
