SECTION 2
Section 4, Chapter 4, Title XVII of the 1971 Code of
Ordinances is amended by a new subsection (f) which will read as
follows:
17- 4 -4 (f): RECREATIONAL VEHICLE PARK PERFORMANCE STANDARDS The
purpose of these performance standards is to establish design
operational and development standards necessary to protect the
Public health, safety and general welfare
All recreational vehicle parks must be located on subdivided
Property. The following standards will apply to recreational
vehicle parks, based on classification:
Overnight
Destination
Maximum Camper Stay 1 day 21 days
Minimum Park Size 5 acres 5 acres
Minimum Recreational
Vehicle Site Area 1,000 sq ft 1,400 sq . ft
Minimum Recreational
Vehicle Site Width 20 ft. 20 ft.
Maximum Density 25 sites /acre 22 sites /acre
The following standards will apply to all recreational vehicle
Parks unless stated otherwise:
1. Condition of soil groundwater level drainage and topography
will not create hazards to the property, health or safety of
the occupants. The site will not be exposed to objectionable
smoke, noise, odors or other adverse influences No portion
-2-
of the site will be subject to unpredictable or sudden
floodina, subsidence or erosion or will be used for any
Purpose which would expose persons or property to hazards
2. Exposed around surfaces including recreational vehicle
sites, in all parts of the recreational park will be paved
covered with gravel or other solid materials or protected
with a vegetative growth that prevents soil erosion and
eliminates objectionable dust All roadways shall be paved
with asphalt concrete Portland cement concrete or pavers
shall be properly drained and shall be designed to handle all
anticipated loadings.
3. Recreational vehicles will be separated from e ach other and
from other structures by at least ten (10) feet Awnings
fold out and expandable sides or other extensions to the
vehicle will be considered part of the vehicle for measuring
purposes.
4. _Entrances and exits to recreational vehicle parks will be
designed for safe and convenient movement of traffic access
to and from the park and to minimize interference with
traffic movement on adiacent streets All traffic into and
out of the park will be through designated entrances and
exits. Radii of curves and pavements at intersections must
provide for easy turning movements for vehicles with attached
trailers. A sight distance triangle will be provided at all
-3-
entrances and exits to insure no material impediment to
visibility will be created or maintained which obscures the
view of an approaching driver. The City traffic engineer
will review and approve all intersection angles and radii of
curves and will establish the sight distance triangle
requirements for each proposed recreational vehicle park
based on anticipated vehicle speeds and the site's slope and
relief. The following minimum curve alignment and access
standards will apply:
Recreational Vehicle Park
Curve Alignment and Access Standards
Minimum curve radius for design speeds on local collector and
access roads for recreational vehicle parks (without
superelevation).
Design Speed (mph) Radius (ft.)
15 80
20 150
25 250
30 375
35 530
Minimum tangent length between curves will be as follows:
-4-
Design Speed (mph) Tangent (ft.)
15 50
20 75
25 100
30 150
35 200
40 and above 250
For maior access roads serving recreational vehicle parks the
following minimum radius and tangents and maximum rate of
superelevation apply.
Design Speed (mph) Radius (ft.) Tangent (ft.) Superelevation
rate (ft /ft )
40 561 400 .04
50 926 4 00 .04
The minimum curve length will be 200 feet for design speeds of 30
mph or less, 300 feet for design speeds between 30 mph and 40 mph
and 400 feet for design speeds of 40 mph and above Angle points
less than one degree (delta angle) require no curve radius
Coordination will be required between horizontal and vertical
alignment. Particular care must be used to maintain proper sight
distance at all times. Sharp horizontal curves introduced at or
-5-
near the top of def fined crests or bottoms of sag vertical curves
should be avoided.
Maximum (preferred) widths of access control at curb cuts in curb
and gutter will be thirty -five (35) feet
The following minimum roadway widths are required:

Destination recreational vehicle parks will also provide a
