Parking Regulations

The GSCA parking policy for our private streets, courts, and mews is intended to regulate the limited parking available in an equitable manner and guarantee access for emergency vehicles throughout Ghent Square. Below are the GSCA enforcement guidelines. Your cooperation is requested to ensure our community’s safety and to provide adequate parking for you and your guests:

  • No parking will be allowed on the entire side of private streets where the curb is intermittently or continuously painted yellow. This includes those areas where driveways or corners are not painted but the open curb is painted on that side indicating this is the no-parking side.
  •  During business hours, Management will enforce parking regulations on private streets. If you are aware of a parking violation, please contact Management at (757) 627-5757 or (757) 499-2200.
  •  If it is after business hours or on a weekend, a homeowner may contact Jack’s Towing directly at (757-461-5765), it will be necessary to have two (2) separate site owners sign the pick-up form.
  •  It is your responsibility to alert workers and guests in your home as to the parking regulations.
  • As part of the Parking Plan, additional parking spaces have been provided for the overflow. Please do not utilize these spaces intended for guests, workers, etc. on a regular basis. Utilize your own garage, driveway or parking pad first!
  •  Any parking on the green spaces, even with the edge of two wheels is NOT allowed. The one-side-only parking is in part to alleviate this problem. These cars may be towed.
  •  Parking at the office (852 Mowbray Arch) is reserved for office, clubhouse, swimming pool and tennis court activities. No overnight parking is allowed.
  • Violators may be towed by Jack’s Towing (757-461-5765) with no advanced warning.

Severe Storm Parking

During severe storms (tropical storm/hurricane/nor’easter), city streets in much of Ghent Square may flood. In those instances, the City of Norfolk will open their 15 parking garages to residents until the flooding danger passes. Those residents without garages or in flood prone areas may wish to avail themselves of this free service. Refer to Parking Customer Service (757-664-6222) or the city website www.norfolk.gov and/or check with the Virginian Pilot www.pilotonline.com or local TV stations WTKR (CBS 3), WAVY (NBC 10), WVEC (ABC 13) when storms are eminent.

Parking During Street Cleaning

Public streets are cleaned the first Wednesday and/or Thursday of the month by the City of Norfolk. The sweeper usually operates from 6:00 AM to 11:00 AM. The public streets are: Boissevain Avenue, Botetourt Gardens, Colonial Avenue, DeBree Avenue, Llewellyn Avenue, Mowbray Arch, W Olney Road, W Princess Anne Road, Raleigh Avenue, Shirley Avenue, and Westover Avenue.

Private streets within Ghent Square’s mews and courts are cleaned quarterly by a separate contractor. Advance notice of private street cleanings will be disseminated via e-mail and posted on www.townsq.io. The private streets are: Boissevain Mews, E Botetourt Court, N Botetourt Court, S Botetourt Court, W Botetourt Court, Ferguson Court, Llewellyn Mews, E Mowbray Court, N Mowbray Court, S Mowbray Court, W Mowbray Court, Olney Mews, Pender Court, Van Wyck Mews, and Westover Mews.

All vehicles should be removed the evening before the scheduled cleaning to provide access to the area being swept. If there are vehicles blocking the sweeper, the area cannot be swept. Please be considerate and move your vehicle(s).

Special Permit Zones

The 1200 and 1300 blocks of Botetourt Gardens need extended parking permits (Zone 6), which can be obtained by contacting Norfolk City Parking, 222 E Main St, Norfolk, VA 23510, (757-664-6222).
