Council discusses ordinance to restrict permanent RV residency; enforcement aimed at noncompliant occupancy
Summary
Council debated an ordinance to amend the city's code to restrict permanent residency in recreational vehicles on private property, allowing temporary hookups in manufactured housing communities and giving police enforcement authority for noncompliant situations.
Council discussed an ordinance amending the city code related to recreational vehicles that would prohibit permanent residency in RVs on private property while allowing temporary placement in manufactured housing communities with appropriate hookups. Police-department staff described recurring problems with people occupying RVs as permanent residences, sometimes without water or sewer hookups and without certificates of occupancy.
A staff presenter summarized the ordinance's intent: to prohibit permanent occupancy of RVs outside designated locations while allowing temporary hookups where the code defines manufactured housing communities. The presenter said the change would give the police department clearer authority to address outlying problems created by permanent RV occupancy. Council did not adopt the ordinance during the provided transcript excerpt; the discussion focused on scope and enforcement mechanics.
