Planning Commission asks for direction on allowing RV parks as conditional use in residential zones
Summary
The Planning Commission signaled hesitation about a text amendment to allow RV parks as a conditional use in residential zones because of sewer and electric concerns; commissioners asked staff to return with Planning Commission’s specific concerns and permitted the public-hearing process to proceed if desired.
Staff and planning commissioners reported on a proposed text amendment to allow RV parks as a conditional use in residential zoning districts. The Planning Commission reviewed several variance requests and expressed hesitation about recommending approval without more direction, citing concerns about sewer capacity, electric service impacts and safety after a recent trailer fire discussed at their meeting.
Commissioners debated whether to send the amendment back for more direction or allow the Planning Commission to proceed to a public hearing so the public could weigh in. Several commissioners favored allowing a public hearing to collect public comment; staff agreed to produce a formal summary of the Planning Commission’s concerns for the city commission to review and to bring a recommended response back to the planning body.
No zoning change was adopted. Staff will coordinate with the Planning Commission and prepare a list of specific concerns and any recommended code language for the commission to consider before a final decision.
