(a) "Recreational vehicle" means travel trailers including those that telescope or fold down, chassis-mounted campers, motor homes, tent trailers, and converted buses that provide temporary human living quarters. (b) "Recreational vehicle" is a vehicle that: 1. is not used as the residence of the owner or occupant; 2. is used while engaged in recreational or vacation activities; and 3. is either self-propelled or towed on the highways incidental to the recreational or vacation activities. 21. The City Code in 1984 set forth as a required finding for approval of a Conditional Use Permit that the use will not endanger, injure, or detrimentally affect the public health, safety, morals, comfort, convenience, or general welfare of the neighborhood or the City. That requirement for approval of a Conditional Use Permit • remains in the City Code today.
