Walnut Grove approves filming ordinance with case-by-case overnight parking
The Walnut Grove City Council approved Ordinance 285-07, a new set of rules intended to govern film and production activity inside the city.

Jeff (Speaker 3) presented the ordinance, describing impact-placement standards and a required preproduction meeting for higher-impact shoots. He told the council that certain items, such as overnight parking for production vehicles, would be handled case by case and would "involve time impacts, so there's a daily fee for that," and that productions with higher impact would need to come to a preproduction meeting as part of their permit submission.

Council members asked whether overnight parking was allowed; Jeff confirmed it could be part of an approved production plan but would need prior authorization and notification to affected residents. The ordinance text and the council discussion emphasized minimizing impacts on citizens and using preproduction meetings to set conditions.

A motion to adopt Ordinance 285-07 was made, seconded and approved by the council. The transcript does not record a detailed fee schedule in the verbal exchange; the council referenced the application packet and preproduction procedures as the place where costs and requirements would be specified.

The ordinance establishes a framework for permitting film shoots, gives staff an administrative role in preproduction coordination, and allows the city to require fees and conditions (including approved overnight parking) to reduce neighborhood impacts.
