Q: My inquiry is regarding on base parking and the number of registered vehicles allowed. My understanding was that there is a limit of two vehicles per household or one per licensed driver.

Has the base policy changed?

I live on the Ikego Housing Detachment next to the Ikego Elementary school and there is not enough parking.

Since the beginning of this year, one of my neighbors is driving and parking three cars.

Please advise on the current policy regarding the number of registered vehicles allowed to a household and the number of cars allowed to be parked.

A: In accordance with Commander Fleet Activities Yokosuka (CFAY) Instruction CFAYINST 5800.2F, personnel attached to CFAY or tenant commands are allowed one vehicle for E-4 and below or up to a maximum of two for E-5 or civilian equivalent and above if they fall into the categories listed in the instruction.

CFAY shall authorize a third vehicle in a case-by-case basis for extreme circumstances. In this particular case, your neighbor is occupying three vehicles, however this member has received and occupies a special power of attorney approved by CFAY to assist a transferred service member in selling the vehicle.

Assigned parking for individual residences are assigned by the Housing Office and would only become a Security matter in the event assigned parking is impacted.

Contact the CFAY Security Vehicle Registration Office at 243-9052 for more information.
