    Sometimes it is hard to ‘legislate’ so precisely that you cover every possibility. It sounds like the permission granted to the person with two cars works because they understand that it is only to be used for unusual occasions. I assume that person can usually find a park elsewhere and the other owners were prepared to allow the common property to be used just for the occasional backup. 

    Perhaps that is the key. The person with the full garage is wanting to do all the time what the other person does only infrequently. So, not the same. If the person with the full garage looks like being serious about making a fuss, then perhaps the permission for the other person could be changed to specify that it is for infrequent use, only when street parking cannot be found and not to exceed some specified number of times per month. 

    As a general principle, I would say that you should always try to ensure that all residents have the opportunity to derive the same amenity from the common property. So, there is some unfairness about one have a parking privilege unavailable to others. On the other hand it sounds like this is not being abused by the person with two cars and it is working, so why not continue to allow it.
