8-3-1: PURPOSE:
The purpose of this chapter is to limit the use of recreational vehicles and other nonpermanent structures for permanent human habitation because it is the determination of the city council that their use in the city for permanent human habitation is deleterious to the health, safety, and welfare not only of the persons residing therein, but, additionally, of the public at large. Portable heating devices, nonstandard electrical connections, a lack of approved sanitary facilities, including, but not limited to, bathrooms with toilets, sinks or showers or bathtubs and standard kitchen facilities, among other facilities associated with safe places of permanent human habitation, all lend themselves to unhealthful, unsanitary and hazardous living conditions, if utilized for extended periods of time, occasioned in part because camper vehicles and other nonpermanent structures are not intended for use as places of permanent human habitation and do not adequately provide for the needs associated with human habitation.
