Item Title:LDC22-006 Travel Trailer Parks and Campgrounds
Date:7/25/2022
Department:Planning
Background:

The commercial zoning districts operate in a tiered system whereby the uses of less intense districts are generally permitted within the more intense districts. Allowing travel trailer parks and campgrounds in Commercial General (CG) as a permitted use conflicts with this premise. Paradoxically, travel trailer parks are only allowed as conditional uses in the more intensive Commercial Intensive (CI) zoning district. Travel trailer parks are typically densely developed properties with high traffic generation rates.  As such, it is appropriate to limit them to CI, by conditional use and subject to site-specific conditions, and subject to site plan review through the final development plan (FDP) process by the planning and zoning board as required in LDC Article 28, section 28.09.

 

The Planning and Zoning Board recommended denial at its June 21, 2022 meeting.

Request:
