Parking

The parking policy is established to "assure equitable parking and access to the community." The current rules come from the Community Handbook (v1.2) and the Parking Regulations Reminder dated January 16, 2020 (Source: Handbook — Parking; 590 HOA Parking Regulations 01.16.2020). Additional rules come directly from the Declaration.

Permissible vehicles

Vehicles that may be parked within the community include conventional passenger vehicles in good repair that are currently licensed and in regular use (Source: Handbook — Parking).

Prohibited vehicles (no parking in the community)

The following may not be parked in the community except for loading or unloading (Source: Handbook — Parking):

• Trailer
• Camper
• Tent Trailer
• Boat
• Motor Homes
• Recreational Vehicles (RVs)

Loading or unloading of prohibited vehicles and equipment is permitted subject to a 24-hour time limit (Source: Handbook — Parking; 2020 Reminder).

The Declaration also prohibits these on any Lot for any purpose — except trailers, campers, pickup coaches, tents, or boats stored completely inside a garage and not used for living purposes (Source: Declaration Article VI § 1.B).

Refer also to Mt. Park CC&R Article VII Section 1B (Source: 2020 Reminder).

Garage use

• Garages are to be used for vehicle, trailer, camper, or boat parking and cannot be totally converted to storage and/or living space (Source: Handbook — Parking; 2020 Reminder; Declaration Article VI § 1.A).
• If occupant owns one vehicle, that vehicle must be garaged except for short-term parking on the driveway.
• If occupant owns more than one vehicle: one vehicle must be garaged and the other(s) parked on the driveway.
• The second vehicle is to be parked in your driveway to leave parking spaces in the common area designated for guests.
• If occupant has a third vehicle, the Board must approve parking of that vehicle in the community.
• Garage doors should remain closed except to have access to garage areas.

Curbside / street parking

There is no curbside / street parking within the community — to allow emergency vehicles and owners access to driveways (Source: Handbook — Parking; 2020 Reminder).

The Declaration likewise prohibits parking of automobiles, boats, trucks, trailers, or other vehicles on the Streets (Source: Declaration Article V § 1.J).

Guest parking spaces

Guest parking spaces in the common area are not to be used by homeowners other than short-term temporary situations and with the approval of the Board (Source: 2020 Reminder).

Vehicles in disrepair

• Vehicles in disrepair are not to be abandoned or remain parked on any Building Lot or Common Area for more than 48 hours (Source: Handbook — Parking).
• The Declaration: disabled vehicles may not remain on any Lot for more than three (3) consecutive days unless inside an enclosed garage (Source: Declaration Article V § 1.L).
• If an Owner fails to remove such vehicle within five (5) days following the Association's posting of notice on the vehicle, the Association may have it removed and charge the Owner (Source: Handbook — Parking).

Enforcement — Garage Use

If you are not using your garage for vehicle parking (with exception to trailer/camper/boat parking), you may be given notice to remedy within 30 days. If not completed in that period, you may be called to appear at a hearing with the Board and possibly fined. A fine of $200 per month can be levied against the Owner until the violation is remedied (Source: Handbook — Enforcement Procedures, Garage Use; 2020 Reminder).
