Council discusses RV rules, agrees to verify existing code before action

Sep 3, 2026

Council debated whether to allow RV storage and temporary habitation; the city attorney noted existing code permits RVs on property on a pad but prohibits living in them except up to 14 days in a 12‑month period (for emergency/disaster scenarios). Council agreed to verify language and table further action.

The full story

Mayor Pro Tem Tim Green said his intent in bringing the RV ordinance back to council was to avoid citing residents who store RVs on their property and to consider limited allowances for temporary habitation in emergencies. The city attorney explained the current code appears to allow RV storage on a property pad but prohibits permanent living in RVs, while a 14‑day allowance in a 12‑month period exists for temporary stays, typically intended for disaster or emergency scenarios.
