[Amended 2-6-2017 by Ord.
No. 994]
A trailer or recreational vehicle may be parked or stored in the City regardless of the other provisions hereof; provided it shall not be used for living or sleeping purposes. The recreational vehicle shall be stored in a manner to prevent it from protruding into the front yard area where it is to be stored as permitted by Chapter
315, Zoning, of the El Paso Municipal Code.
The park manager shall ensure that the following are adhered
to by the tenants of the recreational section of the park:
A. Recreational vehicle pads shall not be used as temporary dump stations
where individuals briefly stop to dump the recreational vehicle holding
tank into a City sewer connection.
B. No recreational vehicle shall be allowed to have its wheels or axles
removed, nor shall any park allow mechanical repairs of any type to
be performed within the confines of the manufactured home park.
C. It shall be the responsibility of the park manager to ensure that
all recreational vehicle connections to or from the recreational vehicle
pad are made in a proper manner and that approved materials are used
to make these connections. All water connections to the recreational
vehicle pad shall be made in a clean and sanitary manner.
D. The park manager shall ensure that all sewer connection points are
plugged in an approved manner when the pad is not in use. All sewer
connections shall be made utilizing odor-tight barrier fittings and
shall be made in a clean and sanitary manner.
E. The park manager shall ensure that all means of providing electrical
power to a recreational vehicle pad are secured in a manner to prevent
the improper energizing of electrical circuits when the recreational
vehicle pad is not in use.
F. It shall be the park management's responsibility to provide the appropriate
trash receptacle for each recreational vehicle pad. If a dumpster-style
trash receptacle is utilized, it shall be of such design as to conform
with all applicable City codes and ordinances. It shall be emptied
at least once weekly and shall be maintained in an approved manner
that will prevent it from becoming unsightly or from emitting offensive
odors.
G. The park manager shall ensure that all electrical connections are
made in accordance with the latest version of the National Electrical
Code as adopted by the City and shall contain at least one receptacle
of the ground fault circuit interrupter type, to be installed in the
same pedestal as the primary power connection for the recreational
vehicle pad. This receptacle may be allowed to have flexible extension
grounding materials intact.
H. The park manager shall ensure that all recreational vehicles to be
placed in a recreational vehicle area of a manufactured home park
contain self-contained sanitary facilities within the unit itself.
