(a) Purpose and policy. The purpose of this section is to regulate the parking of recreational vehicles actively used as extended living accommodations and/or sleeping accommodations, to discourage permanent or long-term use of recreational vehicles for living or sleeping accommodations and to encourage the overnight parking of such recreational vehicles in designated areas within the city limits.
(b) Definitions. For the purpose of this section, the following definitions shall apply unless the context clearly indicates or requires a different meaning.

RECREATIONAL VEHICLE shall include motor homes, travel trailers, truck campers, camping trailers, converted buses, houseboats or other similar units.
(c) Recreational vehicle regulation. Except as otherwise provided herein, it shall be unlawful to park or place any recreational vehicle which is actively in use as sleeping or living accommodations within the city unless said recreational vehicle is located in a recreational vehicle park.

State law and city ordinances pertaining to vehicle parking shall apply to all recreational vehicle parking the same as any other vehicle parked within the city.
(d) Exemption. Unless otherwise prohibited, recreational vehicles used for sleeping and/or living accommodations may be parked on city streets in front of and adjacent to a permanent residence or upon such permanent residents’ private property when the owner or the operator of the recreational vehicle is visiting the owner or occupant of the residence for a period not to exceed two weeks. The owner or operator of the recreational vehicle so parked shall, upon the request of a law enforcement officer or other authorized city representative, provide verification that such owner or operator of the recreational vehicle is a guest of the owner or occupant of the permanent residence. Such evidence can be in the form of written or verbal authorization received directly from the owner or occupant of the permanent residence.
(e) Utilities/hookups/connections.

Such electrical or water connections, if made, shall not exceed the two-week period as provided in division (d) above, unless the visitor has obtained a permit as provided in division (f) below. Under no circumstances shall there be any sewer connections made by the owner or occupant of the recreational vehicle with any sewer access within the city except that provided within a designated and lawful recreational vehicle park. The dumping of waste from recreational vehicles on public or private land except at a designated RV dump is expressly prohibited.
