(File Index Number DZ -59-94) BACKGROUND. - Pursuant to the Planning Commission's request, staff obtained copies of ordinances regarding the parking and storage of recreational vehicles from surrounding cities in the Inland Empire. After careful consideration during a public study session, the Commission requested staff to develop the attached amendment for their consideration. After proper notice was given, the Commission held a Public Hearing on November 22, 1994, to allow public testimony, and upon closure of the hearing, considered and approved the attached Ordinance. DISC U SSIO N/ANALYSIS: At the present time, the Colton Municipal Code (Zoning Ordinance) does not address the issue of on-site parking and storage of recreational vehicles in residential zones, and as a result, enforcement has been difficult. The proposed amendment will establish a manner, through detailed criteria, that will allow these types of vehicles to be safely parked and stored, while minimizing the visual impact to the residential neighborhoods. Pursuant to the Planning Commission's recommendation, the City Council is requested to consider the amendment to Title 18 of the Colton Municipal Code (Zoning Ordinance) to include Section 18.48.100, "Recreational Vehicles Regulations." The proposed amendment will regulate the parking and storage of recreational vehicles, which includes: motorhomes, camping trailers, fifth -wheel camping trailers, campers, boats, off-road vehicles, and their trailers, in the R -E, R-1, R-2, and R-3 zones, or in other zones where there are legally non -conforming residential uses, or within a 300 foot radius of such legally permitted but non-residential zoned property.
