Bylaw calling for stricter measures on recreational vehicles vetoed
A proposed new-and-improved bylaw affecting where you can park your trailer is a contentious topic at city hall.
City staff asked council to approve a new property amenities bylaw at their regular council meeting Monday, June 27, but council had reservations; councillors said the bylaw was unclear.
Part of the bylaw calls for residential front yards to be free of motorized vehicles including trailers, campers and ATVs, although they can be parked on driveways.
It also states people cannot live inside these recreational vehicles to avoid “unsafe and disruptive conditions that arise when accessory buildings are used as permanent habitation.”
