This chapter establishes standards for the parking and outdoor storage of recreational vehicles, including motor homes, boats, trailers, and camping activities as defined in Part 7 (Definitions).
The requirements of this chapter apply to all recreational vehicles and facilities used for the storage and parking of recreational vehicles.
Recreational vehicles, including travel trailers, motor homes, and campers used as permanent residences, may be located only in officially designated mobile home parks. Living in a recreational vehicle outside of a designated mobile home park for any length of time is prohibited.
A. 
Recreational vehicles may be parked within any required front or street side setback area for temporary periods of time not exceeding 72 hours if they are parked on a driveway or paved surface, are parked perpendicular to the street, and do not encroach over a sidewalk or other part of the public right-of-way.
B. 
Recreational vehicles parked or stored for more than 72 hours on the same property shall be parked or stored within an enclosed garage, interior side yard or rear yard; shall be screened from public view by an effective combination of building walls, decorative screen walls, fences, or landscaping; and shall not be utilized for day use, occasional use or habitation.
A. 
Any area specified in this chapter where parking and/or storage lawfully occurs shall be paved or improved with materials such as concrete, asphalt, gravel, or brick. Such area shall be maintained in good condition and kept free of weeds, debris, and other materials.
B. 
A stored recreational vehicle shall bear current vehicle registration or a legal non-operation registration as required by state law.
C. 
Recreational vehicles shall not be stored in a wrecked, dismantled, or inoperative condition.
This section establishes an exception to these parking standards as follows:
A. 
A property owner with a valid permit issued by the City of Upland pursuant to Ordinance No. 1646 may continue to park the recreational vehicle authorized under the permit or acquired within six months from the effective date of the ordinance codified in this section on the property until such time as the recreational vehicle is removed from the property. Thereafter, any subsequent recreational vehicles shall be subject to the parking standards set forth in this chapter. A permit valid as of the effective date of the ordinance codified in this section shall not run with the land nor is the permit transferrable in any manner to any other person and/or recreational vehicle. This section shall not be interpreted as prohibiting, or in any way limiting, the City of Upland's ability to enforce its ordinances regulating public nuisances.
B. 
In order to exercise the right to the above exemption, within 60 days from the effective date of the ordinance codified in this section, a property owner entitled to the above exemption, shall submit to the City of Upland a valid existing permit issued pursuant to Ordinance No. 1646, recreational vehicle identification information and other relevant information requested by the City of Upland.
C. 
For purposes of this exemption, a recreational vehicle exempt from these provisions is limited to a motor home, travel trailer, truck camper, or camping trailer, with or without motive power, designed for human habitation for recreational, emergency, or other occupancy.
(Ord. 1917 § 1, 2017)
Commercial facilities for parking and storage of recreational vehicles shall comply with the following standards:
A. 
Recreational vehicles shall be screened from view from any public right-of-way or residential property.
B. 
Recreational vehicles shall be parked and stored in a manner that allows for adequate access by fire engines and other emergency service providers.
C. 
Use of a recreational vehicle stored in a commercial facility as a permanent or temporary residence is prohibited.
For all other recreational vehicles that are not exempt from the parking standards as set forth in Section 17.34.060, the recreational vehicle shall be removed from the property within six months from the effective date of the ordinance codified in this section.
