PH2023‐12: (TA23‐01) Campground Regulations. Proposed text amendment to add a new temporary use, “camping,” to Zoning Ordinance Section 5.4 (Uses, Definitions, and Use Regulations – Temporary Uses) and to delete the current uses “campground” and “summer camp” from Section 5.2D (Recreation/Education/Assembly Uses). The purpose is to prohibit new permanent campgrounds including those operated as a business or as summer camps, and to establish new regulations for the duration of camping activities, the long‐term lease of a lot for camping, and temporary event camping. The regulations would also prohibit temporary or permanent
onsite connections for recreation vehicles.
