Commission tightens RV parking exception to Open Space Institutional zones in ordinance amendment
Summary
Warrenton amended language in proposed RV parking ordinance 12‑90 so exceptions for temporary site security or monitoring apply to designated city parks/marinas or properties zoned Open Space Institutional (OSI); the commission approved first reading by title.
The commission revisited proposed amendments to the recreational vehicle (RV) parking code to clarify exceptions for individuals providing temporary site security or monitoring. Staff rewrote the permit language to avoid overly broad interpretations and commissioners favored tighter, zone‑based language that applies to designated city parks and Open Space Institutional (OSI) zone land.
Police Chief (speaker 3) explained staff added language to cover temporary site security in explicitly identified public facilities while preserving permit guidelines and enforcement measures. The commission amended ordinance 12‑90 to reference WMC 16.52 (Open Space Institutional district) and approved the first reading by title only; fines and enforcement provisions remain unchanged. Staff will prepare the finalized ordinance language for subsequent readings and codification.
