Parking at Luma
Dear
Residents,
As the downtown population grows and parking lots diminish, locating suitable
parking can often be a challenge and sometimes costly. This has resulted in a
minority of our residents being “creative” in their parking. With this in mind,
we thought it might help to summarize and review parking policies at Luma to
help prevent any possible inconveniences, misunderstandings and unnecessary
expenses.
The vast majority of parking spaces are privately owned with a handful under
the HOA control. You are of course authorized to park in your own assigned
space. To park in any other space, than your own, you need advance permission
from the resident who is in control of the parking space or the HOA. In the
latter case you will have an authorization form, with limitations, issued by
the HOA that you must place on your dashboard. Various areas of the garage have
been designated as ‘no parking’ and no one can park or be authorize to park in
these areas.
If you park in another resident’s parking space without permission, your
vehicle is subject to being towed, without notice, and at your expense. The
cost to get your vehicle back is approximately $400+, not to mention the
inconvenience. If you park in an area designated as a ‘no parking’ zone, or in
an area not designated for vehicle parking, your vehicle is subject to the same
rules – towing at your expense, without notice. Staff cannot authorize parking
in an area that is designated ‘no parking’ or in a space not under HOA control,
so please do not ask. The HOA is not responsible for paying resident’s towing
fees if your car is towed in violation of Luma’s policies.
If someone is parked in your space without authorization, you have the right to
have the vehicle towed. You may notice a few parking spaces in the garage that
are frequently empty. Please be respectful of others’ property. An empty
parking space does not give you or your guest authority to park there. Again,
if you park in another resident’s, or HOA parking space, without permission,
your vehicle is subject to being towed, without notice, at your expense.
Motorcycles are unique and have a few more parking options than cars. Inquire
at the Front Desk for available parking options.
Please let staff know if you are experiencing problems with your parking space,
we will gladly assist you with steps towards prevention.
In addition to the tow fee, violating any parking policies could also result in
fines after a properly conducted hearing. It should therefore be clear
following Luma’s parking polices is not only the right thing to do for your
community – your neighbors – but it is also the most cost effective.
Thank you,
Luma Homeowners Association
