Visitor Parking

At the Lexington Apartment Complex (SP79292), the parking of vehicles is managed by By-Law 8. As such, any visitor who would like to park in any of the clearly marked visitors parking spots for more than 8 hours needs the approval of the Owners Cooperation, represented by the Strata/Executive Committee. A request can be made by either filling out the online form, which will be responded to via email. Alternatively, a PDF form can be downloaded and filled in and then sent to the Strata/Executive Committee via email. Links to either are provided at the bottom of this page. The building manager has neither the authority nor the ability to deal with this application. The relevant By-Law can be referred to at Resident Guide/By-Laws
