Parking/Garage Survey

Background: Street parking, and associated garage use for car parking, are governed within Aliento by the CC&R’s and the “Rules and Regulations Handbook.” As the Board considers options for more effective and fair enforcement of the rules, some changes to the Governing Documents (CC&R’s and Rulebook) will be considered.

IMPORTANT regarding VERANO: Any possible rule changes are only applicable to homes OUTSIDE VERANO. Verano parking restrictions, as currently defined, will continue unless changed through an alternative process. However, the Bylaws and CC&R’s require a majority of homeowners (250 or more) to vote YES on any changes to the CC&R’s, and Verano homeowners have an equal say in that vote.

1. Please indicate your general philosophy regarding parking on a scale of 1 to 10, with extremes:

1 = There should be no parking rules nor garage use rules at all.

10 = The existing rules are appropriate or should be strengthened; ALL parking and garage use rules should be enforced at a high priority.

2. Please check the box that most closely represents your experience:

I rarely experience parking issues in my neighborhood.

I or my guests are sometimes unable to park in front of my house because other neighbors have used those spaces

On most or all days, the street parking in front of my house is utilized, leaving only my garage and driveway for myself and my guests.

3. Please describe any other parking issues you have encountered:

4. Please select one of the following that most closely represents your thoughts on garage use for an Owner’s personal vehicles. Please note that this survey is not a formal ballot; modifications to the CC&Rs would require a 51% vote of eligible Aliento homes (1 vote per property) to vote Yes on a formal ballot to adopt.

The existing rule should be enforced, i.e. at least 2 cars should be parked in each garage.

The rule should be modified such that only ONE car must be parked inside the garage.

The rule should be modified such that an Owner should be able to use their garage with NO CARS ever parked inside.

5. The Management will need to have more information on Homeowners’ vehicles in order to effectively enforce parking rules. Please select all of the options below which reflect your opinions on this matter.

I don’t mind any street parking, even if someone regularly parks in front of my house

I don’t mind street parking as long as no one regularly parks in front of my house

I am willing to register my vehicle(s) with the Management Company, so that our patrol service can more effectively enforce parking rules

I am willing to demonstrate, that my garage, as currently utilized, allows for parking my vehicle (or my first two vehicles if I own more than one), with 24 hours’ notice from the management company

I am willing to have a portion of my HOA assessment money go towards enhanced parking enforcement.
