Council approves first reading to replat, rezone Valley West site for RV and camper park
Summary
Casper City Council on July 1 approved on first reading an ordinance to vacate, replat and rezone a roughly five‑acre parcel on the city’s west side to allow a phased RV/camper park with hookups and a small number of tiny-home units.
Casper City Council voted unanimously July 1 to approve on first reading an ordinance that vacates and replats a roughly five‑acre parcel in the Valley West Park addition and changes its zoning to allow development of an RV and camper park.
The ordinance, described to council by Jay Carter Napier, acting city manager, “is to approve the vacation replat subdivision agreement and rezone for Valley West Park addition. This ordinance will allow the applicant to develop the property as a RV and camper park.” The council moved and seconded the first‑reading approval with all councilors voting aye.
The proposal brought by property owner Pat Sullivan and represented by Edge Engineering Group would convert the parcel east of the municipal swimming pool into an RV/camper facility with full hookups and a small number of longer‑stay tiny homes, according to comments at the public hearing. Sullivan described the applicant’s preliminary plan as “about 53 full hookup spots” with build‑out likely phased (for example, “20 this year, 20 next year”) and said the team hopes to place “8 or 10, like, tiny homes” along the rear of the site for longer stays by anglers and visitors. Sullivan also told the council long‑term camping is not allowed under city rules and that intended stays would be week‑to‑10‑day visits.
Councilors asked for additional design details for later hearings. Councilor Gamroth said he would like to see site layouts, buffer landscaping and limits on lighting, noise and occupancy before later readings, noting neighbors would likely ask similar questions. Sullivan said staff presence and monitoring were planned (“We’ll have some staff there to secure, monitor the area, you know, 24 7”) and that generators would not be necessary at full‑hookup sites.
Bert Andreen of Edge Engineering Group attended the hearing to answer technical questions and expressed support for the replat and rezone. No speakers registered opposition during the public hearing.
The ordinance must return for subsequent readings before final approval; council set the public hearing and completed first reading on July 1. Future hearings and staff reviews will address site plan details, buffers, phasing and operational rules.
