The public is invited to comment on a draft ordinance that would allow recreational vehicles (RVs) to be used as permanent housing on private property.
Planning staff have drafted an ordinance that proposes to allow RVs as accessory dwelling units (ADUs) on property that is three acres or greater with a permitted single-family dwelling. RV housing would be allowed in all single-family residential, residential agricultural and rural zoning districts. Permits for RV dwelling would be valid for two years and could be renewed.
The Board of Supervisors directed staff to prepare the ordinance based on community requests.
All project source material including the project background, work plan details, project milestones, results of the community survey, the email sign up for updates and notifications on opportunities to participate in the project, and the draft ordinance can be viewed at: www.NevadaCountyCa.gov/AlternativeHousing.
