RAINBOW BEND CC&Rs: Rule # 7:
The streets in Rainbow Bend are owned and maintained by Canyon General Improvement District. The Canyon General Improvement District establishes the speed limits and parking regulations with respect to all streets. Speed limits and traffic control signs are posted throughout the community. Enforcement is by the Storey County Sheriff. State requirements are that there be 20 feet unrestricted access for emergency vehicles. Because our roadways are very narrow, this means absolutely no parking is allowed except for active loading and unloading homeowner/guest vehicles and for normal services of delivery, repair and maintenance vehicles. Vehicles parked in violation of this regulation are subject to citation and or towing by the Storey County Sheriff. The Patrol Department of Rainbow Bend Homeowners Association is responsible only for observing, recording and reporting traffic and vehicular violations
NOTE: SPECIAL EVENT PARKING APPROVAL available. Procedure to secure a Special Event Parking Approval is available at the Rainbow Bend Patrol Office.
RAINBOW BEND PARKING PERMIT FOR HEALTHCARE WORKERS is available from the RB Patrol Office. Restrictions Apply.
Failure to secure a special event approval or abide by the above stated rules may result in traffic ticket without additional notice or possible towing at owner’s expense.
