Parking Regulations
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:
All vehicles must be parked in:

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.

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.
2026 PERIMETER AND INTERIOR FENCE REPAIR AND STAINING PROJECT NOTICE
Stand Strong Fencing will begin perimeter and interior fencing repairs and staining on July 6, 2026. Fence repairs will be completed first, followed shortly thereafter by fence staining. The project is anticipated to take approximately three (3) weeks to complete, weather permitting.
To help ensure the project proceeds smoothly and to minimize the possibility of accidental damage or overspray, homeowners and tenants are requested to temporarily remove or relocate personal property located adjacent to perimeter and interior common area fencing and gates during the duration of the project. Examples include, but are not limited to, patio furniture, decorations, hoses, planters, storage items, and similar personal belongings.
In addition, any homeowner-installed plants, bushes, vines, or tree branches encroaching onto or through the common area fence slats should be trimmed back prior to the start of the project to help avoid accidental damage during repairs or staining operations.
Please note that the Subassociation and its fencing contractor cannot be responsible for accidental overspray, staining, or damage to personal property or vegetation that has not been removed, relocated, or trimmed back from the work areas.
Homeowners and tenants are also requested to keep access to fencing and gates clear throughout the project.
The Board of Directors appreciate the community’s cooperation and patience while these improvements are completed.

Be Prepared for Emergencies
At the February Board meeting, Selena Silva from South Metro Fire Rescue shared valuable insights on emergency preparedness. Recent wildfires—like the Marshall Fire and those in California—serve as stark reminders that even urban areas need to be ready for disasters such as wildfires, floods, tornadoes, and severe snowstorms.
To help residents stay informed and prepared, South Metro has published the "Preparing for Emergencies" workbook and guide. This comprehensive resource covers:
✅ Wildfire Basics – Understanding fire behavior and risks
✅ Home Hardening Tips – Steps to make your home more fire-resistant
✅ Emergency Readiness – Checklists for preparation and evacuation
✅ Fire-Resistant Landscaping – How to create a defensible space
✅ Critical Alert Systems – Learn how to sign up for Douglas County CODERED and South Metro Fire Co. PULSEPOINT

Sample textDO NOT FEED WILDLIFE! It is against Colorado State Law
The Board has received several complaints about homeowners feeding wildlife. While animals like squirrels and rabbits may seem harmless—or even entertaining—feeding them is against Colorado law. Colorado Parks & Wildlife strongly reminds residents: “Be a good neighbor to Colorado wildlife—don’t feed them.”
Why it matters:
Health & Safety:
- Squirrels are rodents, closely related to rats and mice. They carry fleas and parasites, and their sharp teeth and claws can cause damage.
- Digging up lawns, flower beds, and gardens
- Eating roots of roses and perennials
- Stripping bark from trees
- Chewing deck railings, exterior wood, and even electrical wiring (including holiday lights and car engines)
- Once established, squirrels, rabbits, or other rodents may require professional pest control at about $100 per animal—an expense no one wants.
Feeding wildlife may seem kind, but it creates neighborhood problems, property damage, and suffering for the animals themselves.
Do not feed peanuts to squirrels, rabbits, or any wildlife. Let wildlife stay wild—and be a good neighbor to your community.
