Important Notice — Board Communication
Handicap Placards & Common Area Parking
The Board has issued a formal notice clarifying that displaying a Handicap Placard does NOT exempt any resident from complying with The Orchards' Parking Rules or garage requirements. This is a common misconception — please read the Board's guidance carefully.
- Garages must be kept clear and available for the parking of at least two vehicles at all times. This requirement applies to all residents regardless of disability status.
- Resident and owner vehicles may not park in Common Area Spaces except within the permitted safelist period (20 days within any 90-day rolling period).
- A Handicap Placard does NOT override these rules. California Vehicle Code sections 22511.5 and 22507 grant special parking privileges on public streets only — not on private HOA property.
- The Board has a duty to enforce Parking Rules consistently and uniformly against all residents, regardless of whether a Handicap Placard is displayed.
- Residents with accessibility needs who require accommodation should contact KPPM management to discuss options.
