Resident asks board to ease RV rules while county reviews campground permitting
Summary
A new resident asked supervisors to allow temporary RV residency on private property while building a home; county staff said RV occupancy requires either approved campground status or an SUP in A‑1 zoning and estimated a four‑month SUP process; board agreed to explore ordinance revision or case‑by‑case relief.
A Buckingham County resident seeking to park an RV on his property while building a home asked the board for relief from the county’s zoning ordinance. Corey Shaleen described completed site infrastructure—two 1,000‑gallon septic tanks and a drainage field sized for a four‑bedroom house—and said he had applied for a campground special‑use permit to allow temporary RV occupancy while construction proceeds.
County legal staff and the zoning administrator said the county’s ordinance does not permit temporary RV residency by‑right in A‑1 zoning and that obtaining a campground SUP or an ordinance amendment would be required. Staff said a typical SUP timeline could be about four months; several supervisors expressed sympathy and asked staff to meet with the resident and consider an ordinance amendment or administrative option. The board included the matter in the three‑part motion directing staff to return with options.
