The Board of Clallam County Commissioners will continue its deliberations on proposed changes to the Clallam County Zoning Code concerning the long-term occupancy of recreational vehicles (RVs) on January 20, 2026, at 10 a.m. The written portion of the public hearing has been left open to that date to receive public testimony concerning proposed changes to Ch. 33.03, 33.50, 33.51, 33.58 and 21.06, Clallam County Code.

The proposed changes address the long-term (greater than 30 days) occupancy of recreational vehicles on property outside of approved RV parks. The current County Code restricts occupancy of an RV for no more than 90 days on property with a residence but does not regulate the duration of occupancy on property without a residence. The current Code does restrict RV occupancy to no more than one RV on a lot.

The proposed Ordinance would allow for the long-term occupancy of one RV on a lot regardless of the presence of a residence. Occupancy of a second RV would be allowed through the issuance of a conditional use permit. Other standards for ensuring adequate sewage disposal, potable water supply and critical area protection would also be addressed. Interested persons are invited to submit their comments to the Board of Clallam County Commissioners and attend the public meeting on January 20, 2026.
