Council considers RV-park rule change to allow successive 30-day contracts for long-stay guests
Summary
Planning and Zoning proposed amending RV-park rules so operators require successive 30‑day contracts for stays beyond 30 days, intended to prevent establishing residency while accommodating long-haul workers; no maximum stay was specified and no adoption vote was recorded.
Orangeville City Council reviewed an amendment to recreational-vehicle (RV) court rules at the May 14 public hearing that would change how long stays are handled at RV parks.
City Recorder Amanda Lake explained Planning and Zoning’s recommendation to amend the section of city code governing RV parks to address concerns about RVs remaining for long periods. Councilman Doug Stilson said the change stemmed from resident concerns and from the need to provide accommodation for long-haul workers at local facilities; he said the council contacted other RV parks and learned some permit extended-stay options are available.
Under the approach described, RV‑park operators would require each occupant to sign an initial 30‑day contract and, if the occupant remains beyond 30 days, the operator would require a new 30‑day contract for the subsequent period. Stilson said that requirement is intended to discourage establishing residency. The discussion noted no explicit maximum number of consecutive 30‑day contracts; the council did not adopt the ordinance at the hearing and no vote was recorded.
The item appears in the minutes as ORDINANCE 2026-5; staff will carry the amendment forward through the ordinance process for further consideration and potential adoption.
