Can I force a resident to move their boat off common property?

The skinny: Owner is using common property to store his boat when it is not in use. It is taking up parking that could be used by others. There is nothing in our CCRs or adopted community rules that prohibits the storage of boats, recreational vehicles, or trailers on common or limited common property. Do we need to amend our CCRs to force him to take his boat to separate storage or do we have the power as it is to do that?

Typically, Boards have full authority over common areas. However, they may not exceed the authority granted to them in the CC&Rs.

Do the CC&Rs mention anything about parking restrictions?

There's nothing about parking restrictions, but it specifically declares "all parking" as common area and facilities.

Ron as I remember it you are a COA so (5311.081 (B)(5) Adopt rules that regulate the use or occupancy of units, the maintenance, repair, replacement, modification, and appearance of units, common elements, and limited common elements when the actions regulated by those rules affect common elements or other units;) gives the Board the power to make rules about the use of common elements unless (Unless otherwise provided in the declaration).

The downside of making a rule is that it may seem as if you are punishing one member who by your own admission is NOT violating the CC&R's and a subsequent Board can just as easily repeal it. IMHO the best bet would be to amend the covenants.
