What Pebblecreek Homeowner Association's governing documents say

PebbleCreek is a master-planned golf resort community near Phoenix, AZ, with multiple sub-associations. This document set includes Bylaws for the 'PebbleCreek Villas Association' and an amendment for 'PebbleCreek Golf Resort Homeowners Association No.1', plus the 2024 Architecture & Landscape Guidelines that apply to all residential lots. The rules bind homeowners in the PebbleCreek community.

• Architectural review & permits: Any exterior alteration (landscaping, painting, structures, etc.) requires prior written approval from the Architectural Landscape Committee (ALC). Permits are required for all changes; starting work without approval can result in fines and forced removal.
• Permit fees & timelines: Major project permits (initial landscaping, pools, casitas) require a fee and specific forms; minor permits for short projects. Initial landscape permits must be submitted within 60 days of closing. Permits are valid for 90 days; extensions cost $100 each, with a max of 3 extensions before a new permit is needed.
• Landscaping & maintenance obligations: Homeowners must maintain landscaping per ALC standards. Artificial turf is addressed, corner lots have vision clearance requirements, and certain plants/trees are banned. Palm trees must be trimmed by August 15 each year.
• Decorative & exterior items restrictions: Items like flags, wind chimes, statues, furniture (front/side yards), patio umbrellas, and wreaths are regulated. Banners, windsocks, and whirligigs are not allowed. Metal plants require approval.
• Fences, walls & structures: Detailed guidelines for courtyard walls, party walls, wrought iron fences, retaining walls, and screening walls. Specifications for height, materials, and transitions on sloping grades must be followed.
• Pools, spas & water features: Pools require a special permit and must comply with setback and safety rules. Above-ground pools are not allowed. Portable spas must meet placement criteria. Backwash water must be directed appropriately.
• Painting & exterior colors: Exterior painting—even the same color—requires ALC approval. The guidelines include specific color palette restrictions (not fully excerpted but indicated).
• Variance process: Variances to the guidelines are discouraged and require a two-thirds vote of at least six ALC members. Variances must benefit the community, not just individual taste.
