When sculpting a parking policy, here are a few questions from different perspectives that it will be important to think about:
The Association's Perspective
*Is the parking policy working?
*Why don't residents appreciate the value of compliance?
*Do all residents know about the parking rules?
*Has the need to provide handicapped parking places further limited the number of available spaces?
The Owners' and Residents' Perspective
*Why don't we have reserved parking?
*Why can't I park my service van in front of my own home?
*Where are my guests supposed to park?
Keep these considerations in mind as the association embarks on either drafting new rules from scratch or revising outdated rules. Understand that the association may be saddled with built-in parking problems--it seemed like a good idea at the time to the developer or a former board--but, the current situation isn't meeting the association's needs.
Consider the various perspectives and needs of those involved--the association, the owners, the residents, and their guests. With these things in mind, the association is now ready to solve its parking problems.
