Following is a reiteration of the Parking Regulations as outlined in the VHRS Rules and Regulations Handbook dated 6/24/2026:
Prohibited Parking Areas:
Parking in Common Area Driveways (CADs) is prohibited. These areas must remain clear for emergency vehicles. CADs are shared driveways with small driveway extensions as designated on the recorded Plat Map, Highlands Ranch, Filing No. 121-A (as amended). These extensions assist vehicles in backing out of garages or turning around.
Vehicles parked in CADs obstruct, impair, or prohibit access for other residents or emergency vehicles. Such vehicles may be towed immediately without notice at the owner's expense.
In addition, no Guest or Visitor Parking is permitted in the CADs, except for brief loading/unloading. All guest and visitor parking must be on public streets or in designated off-street parking areas.
Permitted Parking Areas:
All vehicles must be parked in:
- Garages
- Public streets
- Designated off-street parking areas
Limited Exceptions:
Resident Temporary Parking:
A resident may temporarily park in front of their garage if the vehicle is always attended and only for loading, unloading, cleaning, or inspection. The vehicle must be moved immediately upon request from any resident.
Service Vehicles:
Service personnel may park in front of a garage only if the equipment needed for work cannot be removed from the vehicle. Other service vehicles may park in front of a garage only while loading/unloading and must then relocate to the street or designated parking areas.
Vehicle Storage and Conditions:
Only operable, currently licensed vehicles are allowed in the Subassociation.
Unused, inoperable, or abandoned vehicles are not to be stored or parked on any Subassociation owned property. A vehicle is considered unused/abandoned if it has not been driven under its own power for two weeks or longer.
Enforcement and Towing:
A 24-hour notice of violation will be placed on the vehicle before towing except if parked in a CAD.
Two citations will be issued before a vehicle is towed (except for parking in a CAD).
If a resident or guest parks an inoperable/unused/abandoned vehicle three times in off-street parking areas, it will be towed without further notice.
Towing expenses are the responsibility of the vehicle owner.
Off-Street Parking Areas:
These spaces are designated for residents, guests, and visitors. Off-street parking is not intended to store a vehicle that has been parking the same spot for over two weeks.
If a community member has a vehicle that is not being used on a regular basis, the Board asks that you park the vehicle on the street or in your garage. This allows others to use the off-street parking areas.
Vehicle Repair and Leaks:
Only minor repairs that can be completed within 24 hours are permitted. Vehicles must not leak gas, oil, antifreeze, or other fluids onto CADs or off-street parking areas. All vehicle repairs must be conducted inside a resident’s garage.
Electric Vehicle Charging Stations:
In accordance with Colorado HB23-1233, which expands CCIOA rights, owners may install Level 1 or Level 2 electric vehicle charging stations at their own expense. The Subassociation encourages EV charging systems as they contribute to energy efficiency and improved air quality.
Charging must take place inside a garage and not in the CADs or other common areas.
he Subassociation will not unreasonably restrict installation but require approval. Owners and/or tenants must submit a plan to Subassociation Architectural Group (SAG) for review before installation.
Public Right-of-Way Parking and Towing Regulations:
Under Colorado state laws HB22-1139, HB22-1314, and HB24-1051, which amends state-wide towing regulations including provisions within the Colorado Common Interest Ownership Act (CCIOA), the Subassociation cannot prohibit parking on public rights-of-way that comply with local government ordinances.
