§ 7.07.04. Standards for recreational vehicle subdivisions.

A.

General. Sites in recreational vehicle subdivisions shall be occupied only by recreational vehicles, pickup coaches, motor homes, park model recreational vehicles, camping trailers and other vehicular accommodations suitable for temporary habitation and used for travel, vacation, and recreation purposes. Recreational vehicle subdivisions, like recreational vehicle parks, are commercial enterprises and must comply with all other provisions of this Code relative to nonresidential activities. It is the intent of this Code to allow ownership of recreational vehicle sites but not to encourage or permit such ownership for recreational purposes to evolve into permanent residential housing that would not otherwise meet the minimum housing standards set forth in this Code. See part 7.08.00 including section 7.08.05.

B.

Procedures for parks and subdivisions. A recreational vehicle subdivision shall meet the standards and procedures for recreational vehicle parks set forth in section 7.07.03 as well as requirements of article XIII for platting of real property.

C.

Coach port. For the purposes of this Code, a coach port is a freestanding structure built to the standard building codes incorporated by article VIII of this Code, which contains no plumbing or cooking facilities and is designed to permit a motor home or private motorcoach to be placed under the shelter of the structure to provide such cooking and bath facilities. Coach ports shall only be permitted as follows:

1.

In recreational vehicle subdivisions.

2.

On lots/sites of 3,000 square feet and above in size.

3.

Where the motor home or private motorcoach is in no way attached or connected to the structure.

4.

Lots/sites shall not exceed a 40-percent structural coverage.

5.

Design and use shall comply with all applicable fire safety codes with regard to flammable petroleum products.

D.

Build-overs. For the purposes of this Code, a build-over is a structure that substantially surrounds a recreational vehicle. Such structure may or may not also cover the roof of the RV. Unless considered a coach port as defined in subsection C above, build-overs are hereby prohibited.
