I guess if I had to make a decision based on this working, I would say I can park an operational car pretty much anywhere I want, there are no mentioned restrictions. Which I am sure is NOT the intent. This is why I am glad the rules are complaint enforced.

Most of the time we all (in my neighborhood) just get along, and if someone complains I have my car parked in my driveway overnight once in a while, well, I expect I can challenge the complaint, based on this.
My courtyard villa deed restriction document says:

"No owner of a homesite shall park, store, or keep any vehicle except wholly within his driveway, garage or other non-visitor parking spaces."

I called District Property Management who said that it means that parking on the street is not allowed. But, when I spoke with Community Standards, they told me that they do not enforce that rule. So, go figure.
