The intent of this chapter is to promulgate minimum regulations which are designed to facilitate the development of safe and sanitary accommodations for short-term occupants.

Any person wishing to construct a recreational vehicle court shall prepare a plan therefor and submit the same to the planning and zoning administrator. Before a permit can be issued for any construction connected with a recreational vehicle court, the plans must be approved as set forth in this chapter. No construction connected with said vehicle court shall be commenced until a valid permit has been obtained therefor.

The plan shall show the following information:

1. The topography represented by contours shown at no greater intervals than two feet when required by the planning and zoning administrator;
2. The proposed street and recreational vehicle court layout;
3. Proposed reservations for parks, playgrounds and open spaces, if any;
4. Size and character of service and recreation buildings and other structures associated with land and facilities to be used by the recreational vehicle court occupants;
5. Proposed landscape planting plan, including type and location of plant material;
6. Location of existing and proposed utility lines and easements, water and sewer lines, fire hydrants and other improvements.

The development of any recreational vehicle court shall conform to the following standards and requirements:

1. The area shall be in one ownership and shall remain in one ownership and the same shall not be subdivided thereafter.;
2. The plan must be prepared by an engineer, land surveyor, architect or landscape architect licensed to practice in the state;
3. Yard Lighting. A minimum of two-tenths footcandles of light shall be required for protective yard lighting the full length of all driveways and walkways;
4. All roadways shall be hard surfaced;

8. All recreational vehicle spaces shall be located at least twenty feet back from the right-of-way line of any public street and the resulting setback space must be landscaped with lawn and trees or shrubs as approved by the planning and zoning administrator except over permitted driveways;
9. All areas within the court which are not occupied by buildings or hardsurfacing shall be landscaped and maintained with lawn, trees and shrubs designed to provide privacy and noise containment, and shall be equipped with adequate sprinkling devices as determined by the planning and zoning administrator;

13. Prerequisite to the occupancy of any recreational vehicle court shall be the obtaining of an annual license, which shall be issued only after inspection by the planning and zoning administrator. It shall be unlawful to operate a recreational vehicle court without first obtaining a license, and said license shall be refused or revoked upon failure of the owner and/or operator to maintain the park in accordance with the standards and requirements as set forth in this section;
14. In addition to meeting the requirements of this section, all recreational vehicle courts shall also conform to the requirements set forth in the Code of Camp, Trailer Court, Hotel, Motel and Resort Sanitation Regulations, as adopted by the Utah State Board of Health.
