Compliance corner: Summer parking reminders
By Brett D'Alessandro
As summer arrives in
Sunriver, so do our busiest
months of the year. With thousands of residents, visitors,
contractors and guests enjoying
everything our community has
to offer, parking-related concerns become one of the most
common issues reported to
the Community Development
Department.
With over 4,100 homes,
more than 60 miles of roads,
and a significant influx of seasonal visitors, proper parking is
essential to maintaining safety,
accessibility, and the overall
character of our community.
A quick review of the parking

Recreational vehicles, utility trailers, boats, and similar
equipment may only be parked
on a temporary basis for limited
periods or stored in approved
locations such as the SROA
RV Storage Facility. Owners
should familiarize themselves
with these requirements before
bringing recreational equipment into the community.
Most parking violations are
not the result of intentional
disregard for the rules. More
often, they occur when visitors
are unfamiliar with Sunriver’s
nated parking areas. During
the summer months, many
people host family gatherings,
vacations, and special events
that increase the number of

guests arrive, it is a good idea
to plan where vehicles can be
parked legally and safely.

owners are unaware of how
the regulations apply to their
property. Taking a few minutes
to explain parking expectations
to guests, renters and family
members can go a long way
toward preventing citations
and creating a more enjoyable
experience for everyone.
As we enjoy another beautiful summer in Central Oregon,
let’s all do our part to keep
Sunriver safe, accessible and
enjoyable for residents and
visitors alike.

temporary access to these vehicles, long-term outdoor storage is not permitted.
