<strong>Sun</strong> <strong>City</strong> Vistoso Community Association, Inc.<strong>DEVELOPMENT</strong> <strong>STANDARDS</strong>SCVCAI Development Standards - Revised and Approved April 26, 2011Page 1


I. INTRODUCTION & DEFINITIONSA. Introduction<strong>Sun</strong> <strong>City</strong> Vistoso is a community designed to respect the history, heritage, culture, climate and desertenvironment of the Sonoran Southwest. The community is situated on the slope of the TortolitaMountain Range, which affords many spectacular views of both the Tortolita, and Santa CatalinaRanges. In order to preserve and enhance these concepts, there is a need to establish and maintaincertain standards by which the community may grow and develop.The intent of the <strong>Sun</strong> <strong>City</strong> Vistoso Development Standards is to preserve the desert environment andthe Sonoran Desert southwest architectural character of our community and to maintain and enhancecommunity property values.These Development Standards provide an overall framework and comprehensive set of guidelines toallow the community to develop and progress in an orderly and cohesive manner. They establishcriteria for architectural style and design, landscape concepts, site improvements, colors andmaterials. They also establish a process for judicious review of proposed new developments andchanges within the community. These standards also set forth the means by which the standards andguidelines contained herein may be changed and amended to better serve the needs of an evolvingcommunity.Article IV, Section 2, paragraph b of the CC&Rs defines the "architectural control" vested by the Boardof Directors in the Architectural Review Committee. It states in part that, "Other than as constructed byDeclarant, no building, fence, wall, residence or other structure shall be commenced, erected,maintained, improved, altered, or made without the prior written approval of the Architectural ReviewCommittee." Each homeowner should read the complete paragraph in the CC&Rs for the full meaningof Architectural Control.It should also be noted that each unit has its own "Tract Declaration of Covenants, Conditions andRestrictions" that may impose additional requirements for that specific unit. These Tract Declarationsare in addition to the Master CC&Rs and the Development Standards. It is the homeowner'sresponsibility to follow these requirements as well.These standards have been adopted by the Board of Directors of the Community Association pursuantto the <strong>Sun</strong> <strong>City</strong> Vistoso Master Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, Restrictions, Assessments,Charges, Servitude, Liens, Preservations and Easements, hereinafter referred to as the <strong>Sun</strong> <strong>City</strong>Vistoso Master Declaration. In case of conflict between the Master Declaration and the DevelopmentStandards, the Master Declaration shall prevail.To the extent that any local government ordinance, building code or regulation requires a morerestrictive standard than that found in these Design standards or the Master Declaration ofRestrictions, the local government standards shall prevail. To the extent that the local ordinance is lessrestrictive than these Design Standards or the Master Declaration of Restrictions, the DesignStandards and Master Declaration of Restrictions shall prevail.SCVCAI Development Standards - Revised and Approved April 26, 2011Page 3

Revised Arizona Statute No. 33-1816, "The Arizona Solar Rights Law," provides that ahomeowners association may adopt reasonable rules regarding the placement of a solarenergy device if those rules do not prevent the installation, impair the functioning of the deviceor restrict its use or adversely affect the cost or efficiency of the device.SCVAI adopts the following to the fullest extent possible while incorporating the limitationsoutlined above. Solar energy equipment may be installed on any lot provided the followingpriorities and guidelines are adhered to without conflicting with Arizona Revised Statute No. 33-1816. In keeping with the architectural theme of the community, every reasonable effort shallbe made to mount solar energy equipment in locations on roofs, providing minimum exposureto neighbors or views from the street. If mounted on a sloped tile roof, the highest edge of thesolar collector panels and their support structure should not be higher than the highest edge ofthe roof surface on which they are mounted. If mounted on a flat roof, the highest edge of thesolar collector panels and their support structure should not exceed the height of the parapetsurrounding the roof. Visible non-electrical roof-top support structures should be painted toreasonably blend with the background color of the roof. All piping and/or wiring conduit shall beneatly routed and painted to reasonably blend with the background color of the mountingsurfaces so as not to be unduly noticeable. All equipment mounted on the exterior walls of thehouse shall be painted to match the house color or enclosed in a suitable enclosure painted tomatch the house color.The installations described above must in ALL situations be approved by the ArchitecturalReview Committee (ARC) prior to installation. After-the-fact applications for approval may besubject to fines from the Association. The ARC offers a free, consulting service to residentswhereby it will come to a resident's property (on request) and assist in choosing the location ofsolar energy equipment in accordance with the above guidelines. The results of this servicewill be guidelines for a resident to use when discussing design of a solar energy system withinstallers, and to assist residents in choosing between competing installation bids. It issuggested that preliminary ARC approval of a proposed system layout be obtained prior toproceeding with detailed system design by an installer and securing of the required town of <strong>Oro</strong><strong>Valley</strong> building permit in order to minimize impacts due to any required redesign.3. In keeping with the architectural theme of the community, every effort shall be made to mountsolar energy equipment in locations providing minimum exposure to neighbors or views fromthe street, e.g. flat roofs. If mounted on a sloped tile roof, the highest edge of the solar collectorpanels and enclosure shall not be higher than the highest part of the roof surface on which it ismounted. The enclosure and support structure shall be painted to blend with the backgroundSCVCAI Development Standards - Revised and Approved April 26, 2011Page 9

The installation of satellite dishes is governed by Section 207 of the Telecommunications Act of1996 and rule (47 C.F.R. Section 1.4000). The rule covers satellite dishes that are less thanone (1) meter (39.37”) in diameter. The rule prohibits restrictions that: (1) unreasonably delayor prevent installation, maintenance or use; (2) unreasonably increase the cost of installation,maintenance or use; (3) preclude reception of an acceptable quality signal. SCVCAI adopts thefollowing, to the fullest extent possible while incorporating the limitations outlined above. Noexternal transmitting or receiving radio antennas or large satellite dishes (in excess of one (1)meter) will be allowed on any Lot or Parcel. Satellite dishes of one (1) meter or less may beplaced on a Lot or Parcel provided the following priorities and guidelines are adhered to withoutconflicting with the above Federal Rules: (1) permanently screened from view from the street,neighboring properties and the golf course; (2) Acceptable locations in order of preference are:(a) ground mounted in the back yard in a location that complies with the preceding rule to themaximum extent possible; (b) roof mounted on flat roof where completely screened in alldirections by a parapet which is at least as high as the highest part of the dish; (c) any otherlocation that is not visible from the street, neighboring properties or the golf course. Housemounted dishes must be painted to match the surrounding background. The Association offersa free service to residents whereby it will come to a resident’s property (on request) and assistin the location of a dish and the receiving of a proper signal using an instrument called a sitecompass. This service is optional but strongly encouraged to assist residents in complying withthe above rules. If the resident chooses not to use this service, the antenna must nonethelessbe located in compliance with the above stated guidelines. Residents must also inform theCommunity Services Coordinator of the location of any installed satellite dish. The Associationencourages residents to provide this information prior to installation although it is not required.6. All air-conditioning units and evaporative coolers shall be screened from street view and maynot be roof mounted, except in the Green Tree and Ember Ridge developments.

III. COMMERCIAL & INSTITUTIONAL <strong>DEVELOPMENT</strong> <strong>STANDARDS</strong>A. Architectural CharacterThe following development standards and guidelines will be considered by the ArchitecturalReview Committee when plans are submitted for review. The underlying philosophy behind thereview process is to maintain an orderly development of the community by insuring that planningand designing criteria previously established are reflected in new projects to be built within thecommunity.1. No highly reflective finishes (other than glass, which may not be mirrored) shall be allowed onexterior surfaces, including the exterior surfaces of roofs, all projections above roofs, retainingwalls, doors, trim, fences, pipes and equipment. Paint used on any exterior surfaces shall notexhibit excessive light reflectance (should not exceed 85%) or be excessively dark (should benot less than 40% reflectance).2. In keeping with the low landscape, roofs should be predominantly flat or of low pitch toreinforce the traditional horizontal desert architecture which emphasizes walls instead of roofs.The maximum roof pitch allowed will be 5:12. All pitched roofs shall be tiled. The style of the tileshall be compatible with the architectural theme and character of the community. The color ofall roofs must conform to the color standards in the following section.3. The colors of the desert are rich and varied, and are highlighted by different light conditions.The intent is to reflect these rich colors on all exterior surfaces. Dominant or primary colors areprohibited, although occasional accent colors may be used judiciously. The Committee mustapprove all colors for exterior use.4. Exterior surfaces should generally consist of materials that are compatible with the desert andable to weather the desert conditions. Masonry, stucco and traditional adobe (stabilized) are tobe the predominant exterior surfaces. Large expanses of painted wood surfaces will not beallowed.5. Commercial and institutional building height not to exceed one story. 24' maximum.B. LandscapingThe <strong>Sun</strong> <strong>City</strong> Vistoso landscape is based on a philosophy of compatibility with the existing SonoranDesert, sensitivity to its fragile ecosystems, a commitment to low water usage and energyconserving techniques. To this end, existing natural features such as unique vegetative groupings,rock outcroppings and washes shall be preserved. The majority of introduced plant materials willbe indigenous, arid or semi-arid plants insuring minimal water usage and compatibility with thenatural environments. Where any natural areas are disturbed during the course of construction,they shall be revegetated to insure an uninterrupted sense of "fit" between the community and itsphysical environment.1. The entire project site, where not built upon or paved, shall be landscaped. Landscaping shallextend to the back of the sidewalk (or curb if no sidewalk exists) on all adjacent street sides ofthe site.2. The minimum density of plant material shall depend upon the size of the site and the extent ofthe landscaped area. There shall be an appropriate amount of specimen-sized trees andshrubs to reflect the density of the natural open desert areas of the community. Ground planesshall be covered with a combination of inert and living materials. Inert materials shall includecrushed native rock and river-run rock. The native crushed rock may be any of the variousshades of tan, brown, pink, etc. as found in the local desert. White rock is not permitted nor is acover only of river run rock. No artificially colored rock shall be permitted as ground cover. Turfis discouraged; however, it may be used judiciously for accent purposes. If turf is used,common Bermuda grass is not allowed.3.

surface material with limited vertical irregularities. Asphalt paving shall not be allowed for suchuse.4. All plantings shall conform to the list of plant materials, Appendix "B".5. All landscaping shall be designed and maintained so as not to interfere with the view of anyground signs on the site or adjacent properties, and not obstruct the view of traffic entering,exiting or passing by the site.6. Where the landscaping of a new project is to adjoin an existing landscaped area, the newlandscaping shall form an appropriate transition between the two.7. A fully automatic underground watering system shall maintain all landscaped plantings.C. Ancillary Equipment1. Heating, ventilation and air conditioning equipment, ancillary mechanical equipment, radio andtelevision transmitting and receiving antennas, trash receptacles and similar appurtenancesshall be screened by a structure or plant material of sufficient density so as to not be VisibleFrom Neighboring Properties, all residential areas, pathways, open areas, golf courses andstreets. Structures shall be of a material and color compatible with the building. Chain linkfencing or similar material is prohibited. Gates may be chain link with a woven strip forscreening if no other materials are suitable or available.
