Shops at Country Corners

What Shops at Country Corners's governing documents say

This document is the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, Restrictions and Easements for Shops at Country Corners, a commercial shopping center in Tolleson, AZ. It governs the owners of commercial lots (not residential units) and sets rules for development, use, maintenance, and operation of the property. Prospective buyers or tenants should understand that this is a commercial property with shared common areas managed by a Manager, and that use is restricted to specific retail and service businesses.

• What you own & maintain: You own a Lot (a commercial building site) and are responsible for maintaining your buildings, parking, and any improvements on your Lot. The Common Area (driveways, landscaping, lighting) is maintained by a Manager, and you pay a Pro Rata Share of Common Expenses based on your building's gross floor area.
• Permitted uses & restrictions: The Property is for commercial retail and service uses. Prohibited uses include adult businesses, residential living, funeral homes, pool halls, bars over 2,400 sq ft, and gyms over 3,000 sq ft. Lot 1 has exclusive rights to operate a gas station/convenience store. No Owner may use their Lot for any nuisance or illegal activity.
• Architectural review: All exterior improvements (buildings, signs, alterations) require prior written approval from Declarant. Approval is based on architectural harmony with the Property and the master-planned community Country Place. The review fee cannot exceed $500 per application. If Declarant does not respond within 15 days, the application is deemed approved.
• Signage: Owners may have building signs and are entitled to space on Primary and Secondary Multi-Tenant Monument Signs. Lot 1 may also erect two Single User Monument Signs. All signs must comply with the Sign Criteria and governmental approvals. The Property must be operated under the name 'Shops at Country Corners' unless changed by a Majority of Owners.
• Parking: Each Owner must maintain parking on their Lot sufficient to meet governmental requirements. Excess parking may be shared with other Owners via recorded easement. The Manager can regulate service vehicle deliveries.
• Common Area maintenance & expenses: The Manager maintains Common Areas (drives, landscaping, lighting, walls, etc.) and prepares an annual budget. Owners pay quarterly installments of their Pro Rata Share. The Manager may charge a 10% management fee and a 10% reserve. Owners may 'opt out' of Common Area maintenance on their own Lot (except Circulation Drives) by giving 60 days' notice.
• Insurance & indemnification: Each Owner must carry liability insurance with a combined single limit of at least $2,000,000 per occurrence. Construction insurance is also required. Owners indemnify each other and the Manager for negligence or willful misconduct. The Manager carries liability insurance for the Common Areas.
• Default & remedies: If an Owner fails to pay assessments or perform obligations, the Manager or other Owners may cure the default and charge the defaulting Owner, plus interest (prime rate + 2%) and a 15% management fee. A lien may be recorded against the defaulting Owner's Lot. Failure to cure within 20 days (10 days for payment) constitutes a default.
