Planners say PUD, RV park and mobile‑home rules need clearer definitions
Summary
Staff flagged inconsistent and outdated PUD language that conflates mobile homes, RVs and campgrounds, and recommended clearer definitions and cross‑references to statutes and high‑impact permit standards.
County staff told commissioners that the planned unit development (PUD) sections and related campground/RV language in the land‑use code require cleanup because the existing text mixes mobile homes, RV parks and campgrounds in ways that are confusing and could result in unintended outcomes.
"It bleeds into RVs, and then it rolls back into mobile homes, and you can't differentiate the two," a staff member said, noting the code even describes dependent mobile homes with shared bathhouses — an arrangement staff do not believe exists locally. Staff recommended clearer descriptive language, better statutory references, and a more explicit cluster incentive definition.
Board direction: staff to revise PUD and campground sections to separate definitions for mobile homes, RV parks and campgrounds, and to clarify permit thresholds and high‑impact permit cross‑references.
