Cinco Ranch Residential Association II will be home to 6,358 homes upon build out. At this moment, we currently have 6,083 homes that are already occupied, with more coming very soon.
With the growth of the Community, there is an increase of traffic, whether it be on the main thoroughfares or on the inner parts of each section. This may cause obstructions in the flow of traffic in certain areas for residents, school buses, Sheriff Deputies, and other emergency vehicles. We are requesting that you take into consideration the traffic flow in the area and utilize your garage and driveway.
Please be conscience of parking in your driveway and not “sticking out” onto the street, or blocking the sidewalk. If you have multiple vehicles at your residence, you may need to allow additional time to “shuffle” them to allow another household member to leave, or work out a parking plan so that everyone knows when and where to park.
Summer is here, and many of us will have friends and family who will be coming to town to visit. Extra vehicles can cause inconvenient parking situations. We ask that you please refrain from parking your cars on the streets overnight. Not only is this an eye-sore, it can become an extreme safety issue. Emergency vehicles may not be able to pass between two cars parked on a street, or this may cause your neighbors the inability to back out of their driveways safely. Most importantly, this could put children playing in danger with the risk of getting hit by passing cars as there will be a blind spot.
Though the Deed Restrictions in Cinco Ranch II do not prohibit street parking, there are many parking situations that can be deemed illegal under Fort Bend County and state laws. When parking near the corner of a street, you must leave at least 20 feet away from the bumper of your car to the corner; if that corner has a stop sign, the law requires a minimum of 30 feet instead of 20. When parking near a fire hydrant, you must leave at least 15 feet from the bumper of your car to the hydrant, on either side of the hydrant. It is also illegal to park in a manner that blocks a driveway or intersection. Additionally, when parking in a cul-de-sac, cars should be parked parallel to the curb as they normally would on a straight curb; parking with your front or rear bumper to the curb at a cul-de-sac, as if it were a “parking spot,” is also illegal.
When parking, you should ask yourself, have I created a hazard? Would an emergency vehicle be able to get to someone’s home? Have I created an attraction for children to play hide and seek? Have I created a blind spot for motorist? Do you want to be the reason something serious happened to your neighbor or yourself? We are asking everyone in the neighborhood to think of these different things and protect each other before parking.
Thank you for your cooperation.
