While there are no published cases in Arizona about the enforceability of association restrictions against parking on public streets, there is an appellate case on the subject from Missouri.1 The Missouri Court held that the association could control street parking on a publicly dedicated street because owners contractually gave up their right to park on the street. This is consistent with the general view that private covenants, such as deed restrictions, can be more restrictive than ordinances, and that such covenants are enforceable as contracts. Arizona law clearly holds that recorded CC&Rs are contracts. CC&Rs govern and restrict the use of land within a given community and constitute “a contract between the subdivision’s property owners as a whole and the individual lot owners.”2

Some snippets from an article here http://www.hg.org/article.asp?id=6969
The court found that the association’s parking regulations promoted a neighborhood scheme which was created by the deed restrictions. Furthermore, the homeowner as a matter of contract agreed to additional regulations restricting parking.
and.....
The second case in support of the association’s right to restrict parking is Maryland Estates Homeowner’s Association v. Karen Puckett and Chris Schallert. The case essentially held that a homeowner must abide by all restrictions including restrictions against parking in the street. The homeowner cannot pick and choose which rules he will obey.
