What University Royal's governing documents say

University Royal is a single-family residential subdivision in Tempe, AZ. This document is a set of restrictive covenants that run with the land and bind all lot owners. There is no homeowners association — enforcement is by individual lot owners. These restrictions were recorded in 1972 and auto-renew every 10 years unless a majority votes to change them.

• Property use: All lots must be used for single-family residential purposes only. No garages or outbuildings may be used as residences.
• Building size & setbacks: Any new dwelling must have at least 1,000 square feet of floor area (excluding open porches, pergolas, and attached garages). Front setbacks are 20 feet; side street setbacks are 10 feet; interior side setbacks are 5 feet (open carports may be 3 feet).
• Fences & hedges: Front fences and walls cannot exceed 2.5 feet in height and must be set back at least 20 feet from the front lot line (or behind the front wall of the house). Side and rear fences cannot exceed 6 feet. Hedges over 3 feet tall are not allowed within 20 feet of the front lot line.
• Prohibited uses: No hospitals, sanitariums, hotels, lodging houses, or any use that depreciates property values. No livestock may be kept on the premises. Buildings may not be moved onto a lot from elsewhere except during continuous construction.
• Covenant duration & amendment: These covenants run until January 1, 1992, then auto-extend for successive 10-year periods unless a majority of lot owners vote to change them. If any restriction is invalid, the rest remain in effect.
