Long County adopts Recreational Vehicle Park District ordinance with school setback and inspections
Summary
After a second reading, the Long County Board of Commissioners unanimously adopted a Recreational Vehicle Park District Ordinance that bars parks within 1,000 feet of schools and permits regular Code Enforcement inspections.
The Long County Board of Commissioners adopted a Recreational Vehicle Park District Ordinance at its Oct. 31 meeting after a second reading by County Attorney James Smith and a unanimous vote. The ordinance was approved with specific changes proposed by Vice Chairman Gerald Blocker that prohibit locating a park within 1,000 feet of a school and allow regular inspections by Code Enforcement for ordinance compliance.
County Attorney James Smith read the ordinance for a second time during the meeting. Vice Chairman Gerald Blocker moved to approve the ordinance with the stated changes; Commissioner John Reddish seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.
The approved changes add two substantive conditions to the ordinance: a minimum 1,000-foot setback from schools for any Recreational Vehicle Park District and explicit authority for Code Enforcement to perform regular inspections for violations. The meeting minutes record the board’s action but do not include further details such as implementation timeline, appeal procedures or permit fees.
Because the board adopted the ordinance at the meeting, language and enforcement mechanism details will be part of the county’s code as revised; staff follow-up and publication of the ordinance text are expected through county channels.
