Jemez Springs planning commission approves draft recommendation to limit RV and tent stays to six months
Summary
At its March 13 meeting, the Village of Jemez Springs Planning & Zoning Commission approved draft language to recommend to the Village Council that recreational vehicles, camper trailers and camping tents be occupied up to six months on private property, limited to two per property, and subject to flood and refuse code requirements.
The Village of Jemez Springs Planning & Zoning Commission on March 13 approved draft language to include in a recommendation to the Village Council that recreational vehicles, camper trailers, camping tents, buses, motor homes and tiny homes with permanent axles be allowed to be occupied on private property for up to six months for noncommercial use, limited to two such units per property.
The language, reviewed under Code sections 130-14, 130-15 and 130-22, also requires compliance with the village's Flood Damage Prevention requirements cited as §29-19 and the refuse disposal requirements in 130-13, as well as all other village code. The commission recorded the approval in its minutes but did not record a motion maker, seconder or a vote tally in the meeting record.
The change would not itself amend the municipal code; the commission approved the wording to be added to its recommendations for the Village Council to consider. Commissioners also agreed to revisit subsection 130-14(b) at a later meeting and to continue review of Code 130-15 in a future session.
Chair Betsy Daub called the meeting to order at 6:30 p.m. at the Josephine Shephard Memorial Building Conference Room. Present were Betsy Daub (chair), Sean Cridland (vice chair), Talia Michelle (secretary), Cliff Elliott and Fred Simmank; Susanna Cooper was recorded as absent. The commission recorded no public input or new business. The meeting adjourned at 8:05 p.m.
The commission noted upcoming meetings: the regular Planning & Zoning meeting on March 27, 2025, and a Village Council meeting on March 18, 2025. The draft language and the commission's recommendation will appear for the council's consideration in subsequent proceedings.
