Outdoor Lighting

  • The use of outdoor lighting is often necessary for adequate nighttime safety and utility, but common lighting practices can also interfere with other legitimate public concerns. Principle among these concerns are:
    1. The degradation of the nighttime visual environment by production of unsightly and dangerous glare,
    2. Unnecessary waste of energy and resources in the production of too much light or wasted light,
    3. Interference in the use or enjoyment of property which is not intended to be illuminated at night, and
    4. The loss of the often-neglected scenic view of the heavens due to increased urban sky-glow. It is hereby recognized that these different interests, those of safety and utility and those of aesthetic appearance, need not compete. Good modem lighting practices can provide adequate light for safety and utility without excessive glare or light pollution.
  • Exterior lights must be fully shielded. Fully shielded fixture means that fixtures are shielded in such a manner that light rays emitted by the fixture, either directly from the lamp or indirectly from the fixture, are projected below a horizontal plane running through the lowest point on the fixture where light is emitted.
  • Outdoor floodlighting by flood light projection above the horizontal is prohibited excepts for driveways and must be on a motion sensor.
Examples of fixtures that are fully shielded vs partially shielded.
Text Note: to be fully shielded these fixtures must be closed on top and mounted such that the bottom opening is horizontal.

Removal of Homes

  • Tenants or their successors in interest may remove their homes from the park as provided in ARS § 33-1485.01. Tenant must provide the Park with a Notice of Removal of Mobile Home from Park not less than thirty (60) days prior to move-out (this time is necessary for management to make arrangements to enable the move-out). A form of notice is available from the management office.
  • Tenant must designate a person or entity that will be responsible for the move-out. If this responsible party is not licensed as a contractor by the Arizona Registrar of Contractors or Department of Housing, a move-out deposit or surety bond of $2,500.00 or the then-current maximum allowable statutory amount, less any security deposit of Tenant’s then held by the Park, must be posted.
  • When the home is removed, all necessary and accessory structures such as sheds, awnings, carports, fences, Arizona rooms and the like must also be removed unless the Park agrees otherwise in writing.

Miscellaneous

  • The office will be open as posted on the bulletin board. Incoming telephone messages for residents will be accepted only in the case of emergency and Landlord accepts no duties relating to the delivery of the message or liability therefore.
  • The Management will make every reasonable effort to provide a clean and safe environment, however, we disclaim any responsibility for any losses resulting from fire, theft, accident or natural disasters. No violation of any law or ordinance of the city, county or state will be tolerated. No activities shall be permitted which would place the management or owner of these premises in violation of the law.
  • FIREARMS AND FIREWORKS.
  • FIREARMS may not be worn in the park or openly displayed except by sworn law enforcement personnel at any time except as provided below (restrictions not applicable to sworn law enforcement personnel).

This includes not only the vehicle, drone or aircraft being operated in or over the community but also one being controlled by an individual inside the community.
