New rules for parking RVs

The El Campo City Council discussed new rules for parking RVs in residential areas recently. The proposed ordinance suggests parking RVs behind the front of homes on improved surfaces like asphalt or compacted gravel. The current proposal aims to prevent RVs from being used as extended living spaces. However, Mayor Barbee suggested considering exceptions for those temporarily living in RVs during home renovations. Councilman Barger proposed a fee-free permit system to track temporary RV usage. The council instructed staff to develop a formal ordinance. No vote was taken due to absent members.
