Council amends Rancho Aoyo PCD to allow limited outdoor RV storage with operational controls

Apr 20, 2026

The council introduced and unanimously approved a zoning amendment to the Rancho Aoyo PCD allowing accessory outdoor recreational‑vehicle and similar storage on specific parcels, subject to setbacks, screening, limits on vehicle condition and nuisance mitigation; staff said the amendment is narrowly scoped and intended to guide future zoning reform.

The full story

The council voted unanimously to introduce and adopt a first reading of a Planned Community Development amendment permitting outdoor recreational‑vehicle storage as a limited accessory use on specified parcels in the Rancho Aoyo business park. Senior planner Lissa Alchin told council the amendment is narrowly scoped to certain parcels and includes development and operational standards — setbacks, landscape buffers, screening, lighting limits, hours of operation, vehicle condition (drivable/registered, not derelict) and nuisance mitigation — to avoid converting vacant or underused land into outdoor storage.
