Refer to Section 2.9 on the 2nd page of the pdf - it outlines the vehicle and parking parameters.

These restrictions are not necessarily consistent/equivalent from District to District. They can even differ for Patio Villas and CYVs. You really need to determine where the home is in order to have the appropriate set of restrictions to review.

There was good discussion about a year ago on the topic of street parking:

Residents Parking on Street

Peruse at your leisure if you so choose. Ultimately, deed compliance does not have jurisdiction over street parking, it seems - see post #42 in that thread. They're public streets. However, if the vehicle is impeding traffic, ie. large emergency vehicles would be unable to pass safely, then there would be an issue that could be addressed.

Again, take a gander at the thread and take any of the feedback there for what it's worth. It was a pretty lively and broad-based discussion!

__________________________

In District Six, under Madison Courtyard Villas, street parking is not allowed. (Article 9) Vehicles must be parked in garages or in homeowner's driveways. Perhaps one of the reasons is that villa and courtyard villa streets are more narrow than other streets in the Villages. More of a chance to back into someone else's car parked in the streets. The driveways curve and this presents more of a danger when backing out of the driveway. Just fyi.
