How To Safelist a Guest Vehicle For Temporary, Overnight Parking

Guest vehicles parked in guest parking or on an HOA street between 11:00 pm and 7:00 am need to be safelisted by Courtesy Patrol.

Each HOA household (i.e., the combined group of residents living at a home in our HOA) is allowed a maximum of 16 overnights for guest vehicles in a 60-day rolling time period. This can be 16 nights for the same vehicle or a total of 16 nights for different vehicles that's requested by a resident from the same HOA household.  

Follow these steps to safelist your guest's car for temporary overnight parking in guest parking or on an HOA street:

1. Visit www.courtesypatrolspecialists.com and click on Safelist at the top.
2. Complete the Safelist With Details form on the left about your guest vehicle – i.e., license plate #, the vehicle's make, model and color, and the name of your street (e.g., Arboles, Montanas Este, etc.) Then click Next.
3. Select Rancho San Joaquin (Irvine) which should appear.
4. Complete the User Details registration form about yourself, which appears next.
5. Then select the date(s) you wish to safelist your guest's vehicle for overnight parking.
6. Check your email for a "Safelist Confirmation" email from Courtesy Patrol which lists the guest vehicle and requested safelist dates.

For more information, read “How To Safelist Your Vehicle” from Courtesy Patrol.

When completing the User Details registration form on Courtesypatrolspecialists.com, you may check the Register checkbox at the bottom of the form, which will store your user details and send you an email (subject line “CPS Registration Confirmation”) with your assigned username and password.

Then, the next time you visit Courtesypatrolspecialists.com to safelist a guest vehicle, you only need to log on with your username & password to enter your guest's vehicle information and safelist date(s).

Note: Leaving the Register checkbox unchecked only means that you'll need to reenter your User Details information each time you want to safelist a guest vehicle.

There Are No HOA Parking Restrictions On San Joaquin Drive

San Joaquin Drive is not part of our HOA. It is owned by the City of Irvine and the Irvine Police Department oversees parking enforcement.

HOA residents and their guests may park along San Joaquin Drive at any time – BUT drivers should follow the rules posted on the city's parking signs.

Parking Permit Application Process

Residents with one or two vehicles must keep their vehicles parked in their garage and/or carport at all times when not in use. Those owning more than two vehicles must use their driveway(s), if it exists, to park their additional vehicles.

If a resident owns an additional vehicle in which the unit’s garage, carport and driveway(s) are already fully utilized to park other vehicles that are registered at the unit’s address, per the HOA parking rules, the resident may apply for a parking permit for the additional vehicle for curbside parking (maximum 1 permit per household).

To request a parking permit, follow these steps:

1. Send an email to our parking enforcement vendor, Courtesy Patrol at [email protected], stating that you are requesting a parking permit.
    
2. Attach to your email, a scanned copy of the vehicle registrations for all of the vehicles that belong to your household. I.e., the registrations for the vehicles that are already using your garage, carport (if it exists), and driveways (if they exist), and the additional vehicle that requires a permit. All of the vehicle registrations must list your RSJ address.
    
3. Also attach a scanned copy of the driver licenses for the drivers in your household. E.g., if applying for a permit for a third vehicle in your household, include copies of driver licenses for the three drivers in your household.
    
4. Courtesy Patrol will respond and schedule an onsite inspection of your garage, carport and any driveways to ensure they are being fully utilized for the other vehicles in your household. The garage inspection fee is $50.00 and Courtesy Patrol will provide instructions for payment.

Once Courtesy Patrol completes their inspection, you will be notified if your permit application is approved by the Board of Directors in which Courtesy Patrol will issue a “virtual” permit for your vehicle which will allow you to park the vehicle curbside on the HOA street overnight.

The cost of a virtual parking permit fee is $18.00 per year. FirstService Residential will charge the $18.00 parking permit fee to your unit’s billing account once the Board approves the permit. Then, at the beginning of each subsequent year, FirstService will charge the annual permit fee to your billing account.

The parking permit fee will continue to be charged to your account each year, unless you notify Courtesy Patrol at [email protected] to cancel your permit for the additional vehicle before the end of the year.

(Note: The cost of the garage inspection and the annual permit fee is subject to change each year.)
