Rules of Our Roads
All outdoor parking is for temporary VISITORS only, per the HOA CCRs. TENANTS AND HOMEOWNERS MUST PARK INSIDE THEIR GARAGE, FULL-TIME.
ALL ROADS AT PARK RIVER OAK ESTATES ARE PRIVATE PROPERTY of the Board of Directors; NOT public property. Grant deeds give you ownership of your homes ONLY. Paying DUES does not equate to PROPERTY OWNERSHIP of the roads (or landscaping) for PUD townhomes in the state of California.
ALL visitor parking is by definition TEMPORARY AND SHORT-TERM, according to our CCRs / state guidelines.
If a homeowner or tenant has EXTRAORDINARY circumstances, they must submit a request to park outside in writing, and the Board of Directors will respond in writing, whether long-term or short-term. If a tenant or owner does not request and receive permission each and every time, they will be fined and/or towed.
No accommodations will be given if the reason for parking outside is because your garage is used for storage, an exercise room, a playroom, classic-car storage, or something other than a two-car garage for two cars. There’re only 40 outdoor parking stalls for 82 homes, & 150 adults with cars live here.
Rentals must not rent to those who possess three or four cars for just one or two adults.
The longest that VISITORS can park outside and NOT move their vehicle is 72 hours, per Sacramento City law, and after 72 hours we may tow and fine you at YOUR EXPENSE.
The longest that VISITORS can park outside consecutively, and still MOVE their car for various reasons, is SEVEN NIGHTS, in a six month period, per California law and HOA rules.
The longest that VISITORS can park outside periodically and NOT consecutively in a SIX MONTH PERIOD is 14 days. We can tow at YOUR expense on the 15th day. Because vehicles do MOVE, those days or nights of parking do NOT have to be a full 24 hours, but include a significant portion of a day OR a night.
No part of the ROADS can be used for, or impeded by parties, playgrounds, social events, car-wash events, food, races, sports, sales, music, entertainment, car repairs, etc. Reasons include a CCR restriction against NOISE nuisances, the NECESSITY of vehicles to take people to, or away from their homes, the illegality of ANY TYPE OF FIRELANE obstruction, even briefly, safety hazards, and a HUGE liability for risky behaviors or accidents on our roadways where residents MUST be able to drive on the road safely and freely.
Park River roads are NOT for recreation. ONLY vehicles, bicycles, motorcycles, scooters, walkers that are used for traveling (not playing) to a specific destination may use the roads. RACES and obstructions are hazardous.
NEVER TELL friends, family members, acquaintances, room-mates, or ANYONE that they can park outside in our parking stalls for the duration of a vacation away, as if Park River Oak Estates is free public parking. YOU may also not leave your car outside for the duration of your vacations. You will be towed and fined.
Homeowners are responsible for their tenants. Park River Oaks will fine the homeowner; and the owner may pass the fine on to their tenants. Fines start at $200 for first offenses, and can be raised as high as $700.NEVER PARK IN OUR FIRE-LANES for any reason, as they must be kept open in the event of a fire, per LAW.
