ALL Outdoor Parking at Park River Oak Estates is ILLEGAL Except for 100%-NON-Residents, & Vendors: 

Violators WILL be TOWED and FINED. First FINE begins at $200-$400 per incident

CCRs are formal California LAW for HOA communities. Park River Oak CCRs [6.17] Section 17. Parking and Vehicle Restrictions make ALL outdoor parking is illegal except for vendors, or guests as defined by CALIFORNIA LAW (see last paragraph).

CCRs6.17 (d) “Designated guest parking areas within the Common Areas are to remain open for use by guests only and are NOT to be used by Owners or other residents, either permanently or temporarily, for the parking of their authorized vehicles or the storage of boats, trailers or similar items of personal property. All Owners’ or residents’ authorized vehicles must be parked inside the garage when not in use. Owners or residents may not use the parking areas designated for guest parking for personal use as overflow Owner or resident parking.

CCRs 6.17 (g) The Board shall have the authority to tow at the Owner’s expense, any vehicle parked or stored in violation of this section. ONLY the HOA Board is legally authorized to tow, no one else.

Only the Board of Directors legally OWN the roads and parking stalls, individual homeowners do NOT. The CCRs are a binding legal contract for every resident living within Park River Oak Estates. The Board has received MANY complaints about residents parking illegally outdoors and we are duty bound to act.

EVERY vehicle parked outside that does not have WRITTEN permission by the Board of Directors to park outside (either night OR day) has been towed since September 1st. 2022, and EVERY day afterwards.

TOWing will occur at vehicle-OWNER expense NO MATTER WHERE you move your vehicle within this gated community, even if parked elsewhere from where you usually park. Permission to park outdoors will only be given for COMPELLING and limited reasons. E.g. Owning a SUV is NOT a compelling reason. NO ONE will be allowed to park two or more vehicles outside, no matter how compelling. NO one will be allowed to park outside if their garage does not currently house TWO OPERATIONAL cars for 2 people full-time, every day.

If there are extraordinary circumstances, please inform the Board ahead of time, to be considered for a temporary accommodation. All homes have two-car garages. IF you own TWO vehicles, garages may not be used for exercise rooms, excessive storage, or for ANY usage other than TWO vehicles. If your garage is not occupied full-time by 2 vehicles, accommodations will be denied: your outdoor vehicles will be towed.

If we do not know who a vehicle is registered to because you have not informed us in writing, it will be towed. Write parkriveroak@gmail.com or call 916-395-1010 (landline) with car color, make, model, year, license plate, owner, address information. If you do not provide COMPLETE info, you’ll STILL be TOWED.

This community has only 40 outdoor parking stalls for 82 homes and about 168 people living here, therefore, parking enforcement is necessary. Vendors have no options but to park their vehicles outside and legally-defined guests also have no option, but to park outside. The Board may inspect garages!

California LAW defines a tenant “as a person who stays in a townhouse for a maximum of 14 days (non-consecutive included) in a SIX-month period, or 7 consecutive nights. Any person who stays in a Townhouse for more than 14 days in a six-month period or who spends more than 7 consecutive nights, will be considered a Tenant, as provided by California law.” & NON-residents = who park temporarily & BRIEFLY.
