Macedonia City Council held a first reading of an ordinance (No. 55-2025) that would temporarily allow recreational vehicles (RVs) to be parked where they are visible from the street during a defined seasonal window. The measure, as initially drafted, would suspend enforcement of the city’s existing residential RV visibility restriction from May 1 through Sept. 30 in years it is adopted. President Garbus said the item was being introduced to open discussion and gather resident feedback before it goes to the planning commission for zoning review. "All this is doing is saying for the summer months when people typically use them, the city won't send them a letter saying you're not in compliance," Garbus said.Why it matters: The ordinance would change enforcement for vehicles that residents commonly use seasonally but has raised questions about start and end dates, safety and whether temporary allowances could be misused.The council debated multiple timing options. One member suggested moving the start date earlier to March 1 to reflect spring travel and camping schedules; another proposed a compromise beginning in April. Councilors discussed limiting the window so the change would not permit year-round visible storage. Several speakers emphasized the need to prevent permanent hookups; council discussion indicated the draft should prohibit permanent connections to water and electricity while allowing temporary, nonpermanent electricity hookups during preparation and use. The draft currently applies only to recreational vehicles; council confirmed it would not apply to other vehicle types.The building department and director Gudetti advised that because the proposal modifies zoning-related rules it must go to the planning commission for review before final action. Councilors also discussed enforcement details raised by residents and staff: whether temporary means a defined number of days per year or a rolling clock that restarts each time the RV is returned, how to prevent on-driveway use that blocks sidewalks or sightlines at corners, and whether RVs must be licensed and highway-ready while on private property. One council member noted narrow driveways can create visibility hazards when very long trailers are parked forward-facing in the driveway. No formal vote was taken; the ordinance received a first reading and was set for further work and planning commission review.
