AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY __
ITEM TITLE:
AGENDA ITEM NUMBER: B.A.
Text Amendment, App. A. Sec. 13.1-13(A)(14)
Storage of RV on Commercial Properties in Residential | FILE NUMBER:
Districts
COMMITTEE AGENDA DATE: Feb. 8, 2021
Ordinance No. 21-0-0001 COUNCIL AGENDA DATE: February 15, 2021
STAFF REVIEW: Tom Dabareiner, AICP SIGNATURE“ £2
APPROVED BY CITY ADMINISTRATOR: Michael Guttman SIGNATURE
ITEM SUMMARY:
The City recently confirmed the Zoning Administrator’s interpretation that a Recreational Vehicle (RV)
is not allowed on a residentially zoned lot if the principal use of the lot is not residential. The property
that prompted that discussion is a legal nonconforming commercial use and the RV served no
purpose for the business. They eventually removed the RV from the property and received a fine
during their Adjudication Hearing.
To add clarity to the Zoning Ordinance, Staff proposes to add text in Section 13.1-13(A)(14)(a) that
states clearly that RVs are permitted in residential zoning districts only if the principal use on the lot is
residential. Other components of that section are simply re-lettered to follow the new text.
At its February 2, 2021 meeting, the Plan Commission/Zoning Board of Appeals (PC/ZBA) conducted
a public hearing to consider the proposed text amendment. Members voted unanimously (6-0) in favor
of recommending the Text Amendment.
ACTION PROPOSED:
Consideration of the proposed Ordinance restricting storage of RVs in certain locations.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
At their February 8, 2021 meeting, Development Committee members in attendance voted
unanimously (4-0) to recommend approval of Ordinance No. 21-O-0001.
