§ 8175-5.10.2. Development standards.

a.

Minimum lot area for an RV park shall be three acres. Minimum size of each recreational campsite shall be 1,000 square feet with a minimum width of 25 feet.

b.

Maximum number of trailer spaces per net acre of land, computed as a simple geometric figure, shall be 18, unless a lower maximum is specified in the conditional use permit. The precise density to be allocated to the subject development will be based on the nature of the proposed site as it currently exists, particularly slope, erosion hazard, soil stability, fire hazard, water availability, seismic safety, septic tank suitability, accessibility to all-weather roads, adjacent land use, prevailing noise level, proximity to a flood plain, emergency ingress and egress, unique natural land features, proximity to environmentally sensitive habitats, and other pertinent factors.

c.

At least 60 percent of the net area of each RV park shall be left in its natural state or be landscaped.

d.

The maximum size of a recreational vehicle occupying a space in the park shall be 220 square feet of living area. Living area does not include built-in equipment such as wardrobes, closets, cabinets, kitchen units or fixtures, or bath and toilet rooms.

e.

Building height and setbacks shall be as prescribed in the applicable zone, except where Title 25 of the California Administrative Code is more restrictive.

f.

No recreational vehicle, travel trailer or accessory building shall be located less than six feet from any other recreational vehicle, travel trailer or accessory building on an adjacent space.

g.

All setback areas from streets and other areas in an RV park not used for driveways, parking, buildings or service areas shall be landscaped.

h.

Trash disposal areas shall be adequately distributed and enclosed by a six foot high landscape screen, solid wall or fence.

i.

Where needed to enhance aesthetics or to ensure public safety, a fence, wall, landscaping screening, earth mounds or other means approved by the Planning Director that will complement the landscape and assure compatibility with the surrounding environment shall enclose the park.

j.

Asphalt pavement or other suitable materials for dust abatement as approved by the Planning Director shall be provided for all interior roadways and parking areas and shall be suitably marked for traffic flow.

k.

Any cut and/or fill slopes shall be revegetated and adequately maintained to prevent erosion.

l.

All existing trees with a four-inch or greater diameter shall be preserved unless their removal is approved by both the Planning Director and the County Landscape Coordinator.

m.

Any of the foregoing standards may be modified, subject to the provisions of Title 25, if evidence presented at the public hearing establishes that such modification is necessary to ensure compatibility with the established environmental setting.
