INTRODUCTION
WELCOME
Welcome to Fireside at Desert Ridge by Del Webb. The information in these Residential
Design Guidelines is intended to familiarize you with the rules and standards that
regulate and control the appearance of your community and home. The rules and
regulations described are intended to assure the quality and desirability of Fireside at
Desert Ridge living for current and future residents. You have made a special choice in
becoming a part of this community and we wish you many years of happiness. Thank
you.
Board of Directors
Fireside at Desert Ridge Community Association
FIRESIDE COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION
Fireside at Desert Ridge is a development of Del Webb. This is a master planned
community on a 276-acre area consisting of a community center, park and 911 lots.
This consists of 629 single-family homes, 204 Single Family Homes in a 6-Plex
configuration that are gated and 78 Triplex Condominium Units that are gated. Fireside
at Desert Ridge is its own community association with its own Membership, Board of
Directors, CC&R’s, Bylaws, Articles of Incorporation, Community Rules and Design
Guidelines.
The Condominium Units (78 Triplex’s) are a sub-association with their own
Membership, Board of Directors, CC&R’s, Bylaws, Articles of Incorporation, Community
Rules and Design Guidelines. The Desert Ridge Design Review Committee (DRDRC)
reviews only exterior (visible) changes to the condominium units.
DESERT RIDGE COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION
By purchasing property at Desert Ridge, you became a member of the Desert Ridge
Community Association. The Desert Ridge Community Association Board of Directors
and Master Developer oversees all activity within the Desert Ridge Master Planned
Community. The Board is also responsible for appointing the DRDRC. The DRDRC’s
role is to assure the high quality of living and maintain high property values at Desert
Ridge through conformance to the Design Guidelines.
DESERT RIDGE SPECIFIC PLAN
Desert Ridge is a 5,700-acre Master Planned Community. It is the first of its kind in the
State of Arizona in that it is the first development to fall under a “Specific Plan”. The
Desert Ridge Specific Plan has been prepared as the result of a unique public/private
relationship created through a planning permit issued under the State of Arizona’s
Urban Land Act.
FOLLOWING THESE GUIDELINES DOES NOT ELIMINATE THE NEED TO SUBMIT TO THE
DRDRC PRIOR TO INSTALLATION OR MODIFICATION
6
Northeast Phoenix Partners, the Master Developer, has undertaken the planning effort
subject to the direct supervision of the Arizona State Land Department. The Desert
Ridge Specific Plan seeks to create and implement a desert community through the
sensitive integration into the existing Sonoran Desert by controlling all aspects of
development. Strict design review standards governing site design, vegetation
preservation, grading, architecture, landscape architecture, signage, etc. will ensure a
quality of development that will establish the standards of Desert Ridge.
CITY OF PHOENIX
The Specific Plan is the governing land use document of the City of Phoenix for Desert
Ridge. It provides the underlying zoning controls of the Village Center and resort areas,
establishes the future planning framework and subsequent zoning processes for the
balance of the project and specifies the phasing and construction of infrastructure
necessary to serve the area.
STATE OF ARIZONA
All buildings and structures erected within the Fireside at Desert Ridge, and the use and
appearance of all land within Fireside at Desert Ridge, shall comply with all applicable
Federal, State, County and City of Phoenix Zoning and Code requirements as well as
the CC&R’s effective June 14, 2006 and all Amendments therein.
AAM, LLC
AAM, LLC is the management company for Fireside at Desert Ridge. Rossmar &
Graham is the management company for the Desert Ridge (Master) Community
Association.:

Mandatory Submittal of Plans and Specifications except as otherwise expressly
provided in this Declaration or the Design Review Guidelines or any applicable Tract
Declaration or Neighborhood Declaration, without the prior written approval by the
Reviewing Authority of plans and specifications submitted in accordance with the
provisions of this Declaration and, if applicable, the Design Review Guidelines:
1) No improvements, alterations, repairs, excavation, grading, landscaping or
other work shall be done which in any way alters the exterior appearance of
the Covered Property or Improvements thereon from their natural or improved

DESIGN THEME
Desert Ridge is designed to be compatible with the spectacular Sonoran Desert setting
of Northeast Phoenix. Building design, material and color as well as the palette of
landscape material have been carefully chosen to achieve the design theme, and these
elements are controlled by Design Guidelines. This booklet summarizes some of the
important parts of the Fireside at Desert Ridge and the Desert Ridge Master
Association Residential Design Guidelines controlled by the Master Developer. For
more information pertaining to the Design Guidelines contact the Association
Management team at (480) 551-4300.
DESIGN SUBMITTAL AND CONTROL
OBLIGATION TO OBTAIN APPROVAL
Homeowners must obtain DRDRC approval for all work, construction, or changes to the
exterior of their lots. All landscaping whether installed by a builder or the homeowner,
must be selected from the Approved Plant List included in the Appendix and shall be
approved by the DRDRC prior to installation. For initial front and rear yard installation
and initial pool installation please refer to the initial landscape installation submittal
instructions located as a supplement in the last section of these guidelines. Should an
owner fail to obtain DRDRC approval prior to installation, the work is subject to
removal at the owner's expense and a "Monetary Fine" as outlined herein.
ACCURACY OF INFORMATION
Anyone submitting plans to the DRDRC shall be responsible for verification and
accuracy of all components of such submissions, including without limitation, all site
dimensions, grades, elevations, utility locations, easements and other pertinent features
of the site or plans.
SUBMITTAL AND REVIEW PROCEDURES
Two (2) sets of plans detailing any improvements or changes to a lot or dwelling unit
thereon shall be submitted to the DRDRC for approval based on the schedule described
below. All plans shall be to scale, where appropriate, and sheet size should not exceed
30" x 42".
9
The plan submittal shall include the following information:
A) DRDRC Application (see Sample in Appendix)
B) Site development plan indicating:
1) Lot boundary and dimensions;
2) Location of any existing buildings, landscaping, walls and fences or other
improvements;
3) Location of any easements, right-of-ways, setbacks or site visibility
triangles;
4) Location of any and all proposed improvements including, but not limited
to, buildings and other structures, walls and fences, grading, hardscape,
landscape, irrigation, Ramadas, barbecues, fireplaces, pools/spas,
pool/spa equipment, pool/spa equipment enclosures, exterior lighting and
basketball goals;
C) Elevations indicating any architectural improvements;
D) Separate lists of plant materials for front and rear yards selected from the
Approved Plant Lists in the Appendix;
E) Samples of exterior building materials and colors (where appropriate); please
include LRV for all paint colors
F) Any other information as may be requested by the DRDRC or its designee.
REVIEW SCHEDULES
All plans submitted to the DRDRC for approval will be reviewed by the DRDRC, or its
designee, within thirty (30) days from the date received at the management office.
Currently the DRDRC meets twice per month.
REVIEW FEES
After the initial landscape and architectural approval has been completed, some fees
may be required for Design Review Submittals. A reasonable fee may be charged for
the review process, and fees can be incurred for an Architect, Landscape Architect or
Consultant if the DRDRC so deems it is necessary. The homeowner would be
responsible for any fees incurred in relation to the Design Review Submittal.
Note: A seventy five hundred ($7,500.00) dollar fee may be collected at close of escrow
and held by the title company until all required initial landscaping has been submitted,
installed, inspected and approved. There is a two hundred dollar ($200.00) fee required
at time of submittal for pre and post installation inspection by an independent landscape
company.
10
REVIEW-APPROVAL AND/OR DISAPPROVAL
The DRDRC shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of plans to approve or disapprove
plans. If the DRDRC fails to approve or disapprove a submittal within thirty (30) days
after the application, together with all supporting information, plans and specifications
requested by the DRDRC has been received and accepted by the DRDRC, the
applicant shall contact the DRDRC in writing to request an expedited review of
applicant’s application (the “Follow-up Request”), in which event DRDRC shall either
approve or disapprove of such application within fifteen (15) days of such Follow-up
Request. No verbal approvals/disapprovals will be given by the management company.
All decisions will be in written form mailed via US Mail.
Review will include, but is not limited to, consideration of material, quality of
workmanship, colors, and consistency with the external design and color of existing
structures on the lot and impact on neighboring lots. The location of the improvement
with respect to topography and finished grade elevation is also considered.
Neither the DRDRC, nor the Board of Directors, nor the Declarant shall have any liability
in connection with or related to approved plans, specifications, or improvements. The
approval of the plans does not mean that judgment is passed on the structural
soundness of the improvement nor its effect upon existing or future drainage. The
review of the plans is for aesthetic purposes only.
Approval Expiration: Other than initial Landscape installation, construction must be
started within 90 days of the date of the DRDRC’s approval of the application, or the
DRDRC’s approval shall be deemed withdrawn and plans must be resubmitted in
accordance with these Rules.
Construction Period: Once started, construction (other than landscape installation) shall
be pursued diligently in order to assure prompt completion thereof. Absent a different
deadline for completion of construction (which may be shorter or longer, at the
DRDRC’s discretion), such construction shall be completed within six (6) months of the
date of the DRDRC’s approval of the application.
CHANGES AFTER FINAL REVIEW
There may be occasions when an Owner desires to make a change that affects the
exterior of the building or the site after construction documents are reviewed. When an
applicant wishes to make a change which deviates from the plans as approved by the
DRDRC, the applicant must submit a written request to the DRDRC along with a set of
plans clearly delineating the proposed change. The DRDRC shall respond to such
request within thirty (30) days from the date of receipt. No changes will be allowed
unless approved by the DRDRC. The DRDRC reserves the right to charge an
additional fee to complete this review process.
11
VARIANCES
The DRDRC may grant variances from these guidelines for the following extenuating
circumstances. If strict conformance to the requirements would create an unreasonable
hardship or burden; would not have a substantially adverse effect on the Owners or
Occupants of Neighboring Property; and are consistent with the high quality of life
intended for Desert Ridge. A majority of the members of the DRDRC must vote in favor
of a variance in order for the variance to be granted.
DECISIONS
The DRDRC shall review all submitted applications and shall furnish a written decision
to the applicant setting forth the reasons for its decision, including the nature of any
objections it has to the application. If the DRDRC fails to review an application within
the thirty (30) days of receipt by the managing agent, then the application shall be
deemed approved; however this does not remove the obligation of the applicant to
follow and comply with all the guidelines for the community. The DRDRC shall
determine whether an application is in conformance with the guidelines. In addition, the
DRDRC may disapprove any application if the DRDRC, in its discretion, believes the
applicant has not supplied sufficient or accurate information or has not complied with
the intent of these Guidelines.
APPEALS TO THE BOARD
Any Owner aggrieved by a decision of the DRDRC may appeal the decision in writing.
Such appeal must be made within thirty (30) days after the decision of the DRDRC and
must be accompanied by the written decision of the DRDRC, copies of the application
and all items submitted to the DRDRC or any other relevant evidence
previously submitted to the DRDRC. If a decision of the DRDRC is overruled on any
issue in question, the prior decision of the DRDRC shall be deemed modified to the
extent specified. Please submit Appeals to:

LIABILITY
Any approval of plans, specifications or proposed construction given by the DRDRC, or
its designee, shall be only for the purpose of permitting construction of proposed
improvements within Desert Ridge and shall not constitute compliance with city, county,
state and federal laws. Such approval shall not constitute an approval, ratification, or
endorsement of the quality of architectural or engineering soundness of the proposed
improvement. Neither the DRDRC, the Board, the Association or its designee, the
Master, the Master Board, nor the Declarant shall have any liability in connection with or
related to approved plans, specifications, or improvements.
12
INSPECTION
The DRDRC or Management Company reserves the right to inspect the finished
project(s).
VIOLATIONS AND MONETARY PENALTIES
A.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Association’s Rules &
Regulations (hereinafter “Rules”) to the contrary, the following provisions
apply regarding the imposition of fines and penalties.
Each Owner is encouraged to become familiar with the Association’s
policy regarding fines and penalties and to ensure that all residents, family
members, tenants, guests, invitees, licensees and agents are familiar with
the same.
B.
Any infraction of the Rules, or of the Articles, Bylaws or Declaration
(collectively “Governing Documents”) by an Owner, resident, family
member, tenant, guest, invitee, licensee or agent shall result in a fine
against the applicable Owner and further penalties as follows (in addition
to any other penalties, disabilities or remedies available to the
Association):
(1)
First Offense: Optional Warning with property manager, employee
or Board member notifying of violation; or minimum $25.00 fine
and/or suspension of Owner’s membership rights.
(2)
Second and Additional Offenses: Minimum $50.00 fine and/or
suspension of Owner’s membership rights.
(3)
Unless otherwise indicated in any notice of an offense, a continuing
offense shall be deemed to be an additional offense every ten (10)
days, until remedied.
C.
Vandalism will involve a fine as outlined above, plus reimbursement to the
Association for actual replacement or repair costs, and for such other
amounts as more fully set forth in the Declaration or these Rules.
D.
Any charge or fine not paid by its due date, as set forth in the other
operative documents or as set by the Board, will be handled in the same
manner as any other assessment as permitted by law.
13
E.
With the exception of charges imposed for the late payment of annual or
special assessments, all other monetary charges, penalties, or fines
imposed upon an Owner for violation of the Declaration, Bylaws, Articles
or Rules, shall allow notice and an opportunity to be heard, unless notice
was supplied to an Owner prior to incurring or imposition of any charges,
penalties, or fines and no action was taken in response to said notice.
The notice requirement is satisfied by mailing a copy of the amount due
and payable, postage prepaid to the applicable Owner, to the Owner’s
address last appearing on the books and records of the Association, or
supplied by such Owner to the Association for such notices, or to the
extent otherwise provided in the Declaration. The hearing requirement is
satisfied by allowing an opportunity for the Owner to be heard at the next
meeting of the Board of Directors. Unless the meeting date and time is
provided in the notice or the notice sets forth requirements for a hearing,
such as a written request for a hearing, the Owner so notified has the
obligation to find out when and where the next scheduled Board of
Directors’ meeting will be held as more fully set forth above. Failure to
attend said meeting will constitute a waiver of the right to a hearing by the
Owner. In the event of a hearing, any determination by the Board shall be
conclusive.
F.
In accordance with A.R.S. 33-1242 or 33-1803, in the event the infraction
of the Governing Documents pertains to the condition of the owner’s
property, the owner may provide the Association with a written response
to the notice of violation by sending the response via certified mail to the
Association in accordance with the relevant statutes. Upon receipt of such
a response, the Association shall thereafter refrain from taking any
enforcement action until such time as the Association secures an
emergency order from a court of competent jurisdiction and/or provides
the owner with the following information:
(1)
The provision(s) of the Governing Documents that has allegedly
been violated;
(2)
The date of the violation or the date the violation was observed;
and
(3)
The first and last name of the person or persons who observed the
violation.
If the Association has provided the foregoing information to an owner in a notice of
violation prior to receiving the written response from the owner, then the Association will
be deemed to have complied with A.R.S. 33-1242 or 33-1803, and the Association may
proceed immediately with enforcement action.
14
LANDSCAPE GUIDELINES
HEADERS (flush curb or edging)
Headers may not exceed 8 inches in width and shall be flush where they abut other
paved areas. Acceptable materials are poured or extruded concrete, pre-cast concrete,
brick or mortared stone. No railroad ties, plastic, steel, aluminum or redwood header
board will be approved by the DRDRC.
IRRIGATION
All landscape irrigation shall be low water use, drip systems, except for turf or flowerbed
areas which may use spray systems. Overspray onto public sidewalks or streets are not
allowed.
FRONT YARD LANDSCAPE
Landscape designs for front yards, including hardscape improvements, shall be
approved by the DRDRC prior to installation. Earth mounding is encouraged to add
visual interest. Turf is prohibited in front yards. Plant species shall be from the
appropriate “front yard” plant list in the Appendix. No bollards, chain, rope, artificial turf
or other synthetic groundcover will be allowed as part of the front yard landscaping. No
synthetic “faux finish” material such as coatings that resemble rock or pavers will be
permitted. Trees must be set back at least 3 feet from the property line. At least one
tree shall be located between the street and front building setback.
PLANT MATERIALS AND TURF
The minimum requirements per front yard for the Splendor (3500 Series) (Lot Size
45’x115’) shall be:
(1)
36” box tree
and
(1)
6-foot Ocotillo, Saguaro, or 15-gallon tree
(1)
5-gallon shrub/cacti/succulent per 100 square feet
(1.5) 1-gallon ground cover per 100 square feet

(1)
REAR YARD LANDSCAPE
Private Yards
Yards enclosed with solid walls, or partial view fences consisting of a minimum of 48” of
block wall, or more if required by the City of Phoenix, and up to 18” of view fence, not
visible by others, may choose low-water use plants provided in the Approved Plant List
for Rear Yards (private) in the Appendix. No minimum quantities and sizes of trees and
shrubs are required. Lawn is restricted to a maximum of 10% of the total lot in order to
promote water conservation. Lawns must be set back 48 inches from party and lot
walls. Trees must be setback a minimum of five (5) foot setback from any wall.
Visible Yards
Yards with any view fence, visible by Wash Corridors, golf courses or open spaces,
must maintain a plant palette similar to those adjacent use areas in order to promote
visual continuity, avoiding high contrasts in plant materials. Lawn is restricted to a
maximum of 10% of the gross lot area in order to promote water conservation. Lawns
must be set back 48 inches from party and lot walls. Plants must be chosen from the
Residential Rear Yard (Visible) Plant List in the Appendix.
Trees must have a
minimum 5’ setback from any wall.
No bollards, chain, rope artificial plants, or other synthetic groundcover will be allowed
as part of a visible rear yard’s landscaping. No synthetic “faux finish” material such as
coatings that resemble rock or pavers will be permitted “if visible from a view lot”. Partial
view fences (solid part 54 inches high) may be regulated as a solid wall at the DRDRC’s
discretion.
CORNER LOTS
Landscape areas between the Homeowners’ perimeter wall and a local or collector
street are the Homeowner's responsibility to landscape and maintain. Homeowners
shall install irrigation, vegetation from the appropriate plant list and rock ground cover.
16
A minimum of one (1) gallon shrub per forty (40) square feet along the length of the
wall shall be required.
Required planting shall be informal masses rather than linear screening of the wall.
COURTYARDS
Courtyards will be reviewed on a case by case basis when applicable.
FINE GRADING AND MOUNDING
The owner must not change the engineered yard grades abutting adjacent properties.
Pool construction, landscape work, etc., must be carried out so as to preserve positive
drainage pattern of the lot to the front, and to prevent the diversion of water onto
adjacent lots, and standing water on the property. Grades along party walls and fences
must be maintained unless grade changes are approved by the DRDRC.
Fine grading is a critical aspect of landscaping. Each lot has been graded such that all
storm water will drain away from the house. It is important that this drainage pattern is
maintained when preparing the landscape design, especially if mounding or berming is
proposed. In all cases, the installation must comply with the City approved grading and
drainage plan. Every effort should be made to make mounding appear natural.
Mounding and berming within an area measured seven (7) feet behind the back of the
curb along the entire lot is discouraged. No mounding having a slope greater than 3:1
horizontal to vertical will be accepted. All mounding, berming and grading should
appear natural. Mounding or bermed areas must be covered with groundcover (i.e.
granite or ground cover plants).
ROCK GROUND COVER AND BOULDERS
DECOMPOSED GRANITE/MULCH
All granite/mulch Visible from Neighboring Property shall be Madison Gold. Acceptable
size is ½” or ¾” screened.
BOULDERS/ROCK
Boulders shall be of naturally weathered granite and a color similar to indigenous
Sonoran Desert granite and selected to match or complement decomposed granite.
Boulders should be used as an accent. Boulders or any other coarse landscape rock
may not cover more than 10% of the landscape and large massings are discouraged.
Visible rip-rap (heavy cracked stone used for erosion control) is not allowed in front or
visible yards, but “coarse landscape rock” may be allowed based on the submittal of a
sample for approval. Coarse landscape rock may be used in front yards for drainage
purposes only. Acceptable colors are: Autumn Gold, Palomino Gold, or Desert Brown.
Size shall be 3” – 6”. Native rock, pit run rock, or river run rock may be allowed. Color
samples shall be submitted to the DRDRC for approval.
17
MAINTENANCE
Each Owner, at Owner’s sole cost, shall be responsible for the maintenance and repair
of all landscaping on the Owner’s Lot or Parcel. This includes the area between the
street curb and right-of-way line on the Owner’s Lot or Parcel, except those areas
owned by the Association. All landscaping shall be maintained in good condition,
including but not limited to irrigation, mowing, fertilization, shrub and tree pruning, pest
and disease control and trash removal. Dead, damaged or dying plant materials and
damaged or deteriorating structural elements shall be replaced as soon as possible
when an unsightly or potentially hazardous condition becomes apparent.
If such maintenance is not performed by the Owner, the DRDRC may enforce these
guidelines using the procedures described in Article 13.4 of the CC&R's.
Owners are responsible for dust, erosion, and weed control of their Lots
or Parcels.
This will ensure the highest quality of life for all Desert Ridge residents and visitors. The
DRDRC and/or the Property Management Company shall have the right to inspect the
DRDRC-approved improvement during and after construction to monitor compliance
with the approved plans and conditions. The owner shall grant access to rear yard
areas within one (1) week of request by the DRDRC or Property Management
Company.
ARCHITECTURAL GUIDELINES
DEFINITIONS
Private Rear Yard - Yards enclosed with solid walls, or partial view fences consisting
of a minimum of 48” of block wall, or more if required by the City of Phoenix, and up to
18” of view fence.
Visible Rear Yard - Yards with full view fence, visible by Wash Corridors, golf courses
or open spaces.
Courtyard - Front courtyard walls are intended to accentuate the home and yard, but
must maintain the architectural theme. 6’ walls may be allowed no closer to the street
than the most extended footprint element of the originally constructed home (excluding
side load garages or casitas, as applicable). All walls that lie closer to the street may
not exceed 30”, as measured from the outside toe of wall. 6’ walls, including the gate,
may not comprise more than 40% of the home width and must provide for a minimum 2’
offset. Please see Figures A.1 and A.2 (pg 69) for clarification.
18
ADDITIONAL SIDEWALKS
The additional sidewalk is three (3) feet or less in width, is one foot or more from the
property line, and is one foot or more from the home. The area between the home and
the sidewalk addition must have groundcover installed per the landscaping guidelines or
to match the existing front yard ground cover (i.e., decomposed granite). The material
and colors of the additional sidewalk must match the existing or adjacent driveway. “No
Faux finishes are permitted for any walkway in visible yards.”
1. The DRDRC reserves the right to review and request changes to the addition
per these requirements.
2. Additional sidewalks in any other location must be submitted for approval.
ANCILLARY STRUCTURES
The DRDRC will review each application in detail regarding proposed pergolas,
