Review: Regulations to Park Trailers, RVs and Boats.

The item is presented at the request of City Council. At the conclusion of the discussion, City Council may direct staff to prepare an amendment to the Zoning Code if desired.  

Staff will present information on the current rules pertaining to the parking and storage of trailers, RVs and boats including how the current rules have evolved since 1991.  The rules have evolved from keeping all vehicles out of the front and side yard setbacks, to specifically prohibiting trailers, RV's and boats from parking in driveways.  Potential amendments could consider expanding where these types of vehicles may be parked on private property or what times of year.  Enforcement has been consistent during the past decade.  Code Compliance staff responds to reports of non-compliance with a campaign to educate and seek voluntary compliance.  This has been done in a variety of ways from mailed information to entire neighborhoods to direct contact with property owners.  Staff has not issued summons to appear in municipal court for these violations.
