Car spaces are not supposed to be general storage areas
If the OC were to decide that some amount of storage was reasonable then they could be storage areas as well. An OC is a democracy, believe it or not! In our OC we have a general meeting resolution that assigns particular common property parking spaces to particular units and the conditions of that assignment permit moderate amounts of storage subject to conditions to do with excessive quantities, unsightliness and safety.
and there may be valid concerns related to unsightliness, fire safety and the effectiveness of sprinklers.
Maybe, but that can be taken into account in OC-agreed rules about what amount or type of storage is permissible.
