    * a. The Member may park only operative, licensed and insured vehicles in the parking space allocated to the Member’s household.
    * b. The Member must obtain the prior written consent of the Co-op to park full-sized trucks, recreation vehicles, boats or trailers in his/her parking space.
    * c. Parking spaces will be used for vehicular parking only. Use of any parking space for storage or any use other than vehicular parking is prohibited.
    * d. The Member occupant must remove any vehicle leaking oil or other fluids. Members are responsible for cleaning up stains made by vehicles in assigned parking stall(s). The Co-op may clean stained stalls at the member’s expense.
    * e. Parking spaces must not be used for the repair or maintenance of vehicles.
    * f. The Member shall register their vehicle(s) with the Co-op and notify the Co-op of any change in vehicle(s) parked in a rented stall.
    * g. The Co-op may assign or re-assign parking stalls.
    * h. Only individuals residing in the household unit may park in the assigned parking stall. Members shall not sublet their parking stalls to non-members.
  * 3. A Member seeking to end the rental of a parking stall must give written notice to the Co-op. The Co-op must receive the notice at least one full month before the rental agreement will be terminated.
  * 4. Vehicles parked in fire lanes may be towed without notice. The Co-op may tow away other illegally parked or unregistered vehicles. The Co-op will tow at the member’s expense.

**Guest Parking**

  * 5. Guests and visitors may park only in a designated visitor parking stall and must display a Visitor Parking Pass in their vehicle window in their vehicle window faced up showing the Parking Pass number. Each household unit will be provided with a Visitor Parking Pass for their exclusive use.
  * 6. Members are not permitted to park in visitors parking stalls.
  * 7. Visitors may not park more than twenty-four (24) hours consecutively in a parking stall.

**Secondary Member Parking Spaces**

  * 8. The Co-op may offer second parking space rentals to member households.
  * 9. Second parking spaces may be rented subject to the terms outlined in sections 2(a) through 2(h) and section 3 of this policy.
  * 10. Units not renting parking spaces have priority over units already renting a stall.
  * 11. When every available parking space is in use and the Co-op receives a request from a member requesting a first stall, a member renting a second stall will be required to release that second stall. The Co-op may give notice of one full month to a unit renting a second parking space terminating the rental of the second parking space.
  * 12. The unit household that has held a second space longest will be the first to receive a notice made under section 8. However, if several stalls are empty and a group of unit households get second spaces in one month, then a lottery will be held and a decision will be made by the management to choose who has to relinquish their stall.

  * 13. The Co-op may offer a rental parking space to a resident non-member.

**Responsibilities and Consequences for failing to comply with the Policy**

**Charges**

  * 16. The monthly parking charges shall be set by the Community Land Trust and may be revised in consultation with the Co-op from time to time.
  * 17. Non-members shall be charged no less than the fee charged to members.
