Commissioners approve conditioned rezoning to allow temporary RV units for contractor housing

Aug 4, 2026

The board approved rezoning of a roughly 3.5-acre parcel to allow temporary RV units to house construction workers, but required conditions including an 8-foot privacy fence on the south and east boundaries, security cameras and a five-camper limit and annual renewal.

Applicant Seth Rechner asked the board to change zoning from R-2 to rural residential so he could site temporary RV units to house workers for a nearby Duke Energy project. Rechner said the cleared property is about 3.5 acres and he proposed up to nine units but acknowledged the county ordinance typically caps such sites at nine and that denser arrangements may require a special exception from the BZA.
