A series of parking restrictions aimed at reducing the number of recreational vehicles used as living spaces on public roads in Clark County. The Clark County Council unanimously approved an ordinance Tuesday that limits and regulates how long RVs can be parked on county roads. Restrictions take effect March 20. The current county code allows vehicles, trailers and equipment to be parked on a county road for as long as three days.
The Columbian writer, Jack Heffernan, relays in his article, "Under the new ordinance, automobiles will be able to park on county roads for up to 24 hours without a permit, but RVs will require a permit. Residents of any property adjacent to where the RV will be parked must obtain a seven-day permit from the county Code Administration Department. The $10 permit can be renewed for an additional seven days." Living in an RV for an extended period on public streets will not be allowed. The RV must be parked in a legal location; waste and sewage must be properly disposed of; and generators, electrical extension cords, hookups, awnings and furniture outside the RV are prohibited.To read more on Clark County, click here.
