The owner of a residential lot who is constructing or reconstructing the primary residence on the lot may locate a residential application for a permit from the Planning and Zoning Commission in order to allow for the temporary residential use of a recreational vehicle (“RV" permit). An RV permit shall conform to the requirements of this section and shall only be issued in connection with a building permit for the primary residence.
    2. The RV Permit shall allow temporary residential use of the recreational vehicle for a period no longer than six (6) months or until the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the primary residence, whichever is sooner. A 90 day extension may be granted by Planning and Zoning as needed.

Such person, firm or corporation shall be deemed to be guilty of a separate offense for each and every day during which any portion of any violation of this title is committed, continued or permitted by such person, firm or corporation, and shall be punishable as herein provided. Mona City may also impose a civil penalty, as provided by the Mona City Municipal Code, and the imposition of a criminal penalty shall not prohibit the concurrent imposition of a civil penalty, and vice versa. 
    2. In addition to any other penalty, the failure to disconnect a recreational vehicle from City utilities, including water and sewer, within thirty (30) days after being notified by the City may result in City utilities, including water and sewer, serving the recreational vehicle and any associated residential property being disconnected or shutoff by the City.
