VEHICLES 

Surfside Association has extremely limited parking, 201 of the 300 available spaces are assigned  to specific units, 10 EV charging spaces, and 89 spaces available for open parking. The following rules are intended to promote  fair access to parking for all Surfside Association residents:  

1. All vehicles registered to current residents and parked inside the complex must prominently display a Surfside I HOA parking pass, be street legal and operational with current DMV tags  and license plates. Parking Decals may be obtained at the Clubhouse Office. 

2. Only motorized vehicles, pick-up trucks, vans and/or bicycles are permitted in any parking  space. No vehicles may back-in to a guest parking space. An immediate $50 fine will be  assessed. Any damage to the wall caused by backing-in will be the responsibility of the owner of  the vehicle. If the owner of the vehicle is a guest of a homeowner, the repair cost and fine will be  the responsibility of the homeowner. 

3. Parallel parking in the visiting parking area, parking in the red zone, parking in a handicap stall (unless displaying a handicap parking permit) are not allowed and may result in being ticketed and/or towed. 

4. Loading and unloading of a vehicle while parallel parked in a red zone is temporarily allowed  providing the vehicle hazard lights are used and traffic flow is not obstructed. 

5. Homeowners with guest vehicles parked longer than 96 hours must contact the office prior to  their arrival to avoid fines. 

6. Oversized vehicles requiring more than one parking space are not allowed to park in the  complex.

7. Only minor emergency repairs on vehicles are allowed (i.e., changing tire or battery). Normal maintenance is prohibited (i.e., changing oil or other fluids). Owners of vehicles leaking excessive fluids may receive a fine. 

8. Any resident expecting delivery by a large vehicle (i.e., rental truck or moving van) must notify the Clubhouse Office to facilitate safe entry into the complex. Damage to any part of the  complex caused by any vehicle will be the homeowner’s responsibility. 

9. Vehicles are prohibited from entering through the EXIT gate. $100 immediate fine. 

10. Exceptions to the above restrictions may be granted should unusual circumstances occur (i.e.,  parking a moving van overnight or placement of a moving POD). Homeowners are required to  contact the Clubhouse Office for advanced approval. 

11. Residents who do not clean up an oil leak caused by their vehicle will be charged an immediate $50 clean up fee if the HOA has to clean up the leak. If the leaks continue to happen, there will  also be the standard progression of violations and fines.  

12. Disabled parking spaces are reserved for vehicles with a government issued disabled license plate or placard. Parking in a disabled parking space without current government issued  documents will result in an immediate $100 Homeowners Association fine. The City of Port  Hueneme may also levy a $250 fine for violation of the civil code. In addition, automobiles  parked in a designated disabled parking space for a minimum of 96 hours will be towed. Towing and impoundment expenses will be the responsibility of the owner. 

13. No more than ONE vehicle per number of bedrooms plus ONE extra vehicle, i.e., 2-bedroom  units can register and park no more than 3 vehicles inside of the complex and 3-bedroom units can register and park no more than 4 vehicles. One registered vehicle is required to use their reserved parking space for overnight parking. Does not apply to guest vehicles. Motorcycles are considered as one vehicle unless parked in same reserved space as another vehicle. 

14. Plug-in vehicle parking ONLY in EV spaces and vehicle must be plugged in while parked in EV spaces. All non-plugin vehicles parked in EV spaces will receive immediate $124 fine and possible towing after 10 hours.

15. Storage of vehicles, defined as parked in the same space for 96 hours, is prohibited in visitor  parking spaces and subject to being towed with proper notice.

16. An immediate $100 fine will be charged for parking in another resident’s reserved space without  permission from that space owner. Owner of space can have vehicle towed at their discretion.  

17. ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING STATION rules are a separate document for those who  own an electric vehicle and use the charging stations. Please request a copy of these rules when  you register your electric vehicle with the office.
