What Desert Ridge Lifestyles HOA's governing documents say
Desert Ridge Lifestyles is a single-family home HOA in Arizona. These landscaping rules apply to all homeowners and govern what plants you may install in your front and rear yards. The document is a partial excerpt focused entirely on plant lists and yard restrictions; it does not cover other community rules.
- Prohibited plants: Certain plants are specifically prohibited in residential areas due to size, water use, invasive roots, or incompatibility with the Sonoran Desert. Prohibited species include all palm species except Trachycarpus fortunei, Chamaerops humilis, and Phoenix roebelenii, plus Eucalyptus, Pinus, and Quercus species.
- Approved plant lists: All plant materials must be selected from approved plant lists provided by the City of Phoenix and included in the rules. Exceptions require DRC (Design Review Committee) approval. Separate lists exist for front yards and rear yards, with additional distinctions for visible vs. private rear yards.
- Rear yard lawn and height limits: In all rear yards, lawn areas are restricted to a maximum of 10% of the gross lot area. No palm-type plant may exceed 15 feet in height at maturity; any exceeding that must be immediately removed at the owner's expense.
- Visible vs. private rear yards: Rear yards that are visible (via view fencing, wash corridors, golf courses, or open spaces) must follow a more restricted plant palette. Yards enclosed with solid walls (or with partial view fencing approved by DRC) are classified as private and may use a broader palette, provided plants visible above the wall adhere to the visible-yard rules.
- What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt is limited to landscaping requirements. It does not address leasing, pets, parking, assessments, or other typical HOA rules.
