What Marbella Ranch's governing documents say
Marbella Ranch is a single-family home planned community in Youngtown, AZ, governed by a homeowners' association (HOA). This document binds all owners and occupants, setting rules on land use, design, maintenance, assessments, and enforcement.
- Single-family use definition: A dwelling may be occupied by persons related by blood, marriage, or adoption, or by no more than three unrelated persons living together as a single household. Group homes, boarding houses, and similar facilities are not allowed unless required by law.
- Design & architectural review: All exterior improvements, alterations, landscaping, and construction must be approved in advance by the DRG Reviewer (Declarant or a committee). The Design Review Guidelines specify standards for size, colors, materials, and landscaping. Fees may be charged for review.
- Party walls & perimeter fences: Owners sharing a wall or fence (party wall) must jointly maintain it unless damage is caused by one owner. The association maintains the exterior side of perimeter walls and wrought iron view fencing; owners maintain the interior side.
- Assessments & fees: Owners pay regular assessments, special assessments, and possible working capital or reserve fund assessments. Delinquent amounts become a lien on the property. The board sets rates and can impose fines.
- Common area use & easements: Owners have a nonexclusive easement to use common areas, subject to association rules. The association may suspend use for unpaid assessments or rule violations (up to 60 days). Owners cannot waive assessments by not using common areas.
- Rights of Declarant & designated builders: During the Declarant Control Period (until 2055 or earlier), the developer retains significant control, including the ability to modify the development plan, approve design changes, and exempt itself from certain rules. Designated builders have similar privileges.
- Use restrictions & amendments: The board may amend use restrictions after member notice and hearing, but owners can override with a 67% vote. Any amendment affecting recorded restrictions must be recorded.
