Norton Shores council directs staff to research changes to RV parking rules
Summary
City Planner Ted Woodcock briefed council on problems implementing the citys RV parking ordinance. Council discussed lot size, zoning distinctions, and commercial versus residential vehicles and directed staff to research comparable township ordinances and return with recommendations.
Ted Woodcock, the city planner, told the Norton Shores City Council at its June 23 work session that the citys current recreation vehicle (RV) parking ordinance has implementation challenges.
Woodcock identified concerns including how lot size and zoning districts are treated under the ordinance and the need to distinguish between commercial and residential vehicles. Council members discussed those points, raising questions about where current rules create enforcement or equity issues.
Following the discussion, council members directed Woodcock to research comparable RV-parking ordinances in surrounding townships and report back with additional information for future consideration. The council did not adopt any ordinance changes at the session.
The direction to staff was procedural: the council requested comparative research and options rather than voting on specific regulatory language. Council members returned to other agenda items after giving the staff assignment.
