Can a committee introduce a by-law to regulate resident and visitor parking that restricts parking to one car per unit?

In our 1970s unit complex, each unit has its own garage. Additionally, there are 12 open parking spaces located at the back of the complex, which operate on a first-come, first-served basis, with no reserved spots.

The committee is considering a by-law that would limit each unit to one car, remove visitor parking, and treat the garage space as the unit’s only allocation. Can the committee introduce a by-law like this?

Before making by-law changes to regulate parking, the owners corporation should check if there are any visitor parking requirements.

The owners corporation could pass a by-law to regulate residential common property and visitor parking allocations for the proper management, administration, control, use and/or enjoyment of common property and to more fairly and equitably manage parking. However, before doing so, they should check the building’s development consent to determine if there are any visitor parking requirements.
