Summary
Council debated but didn't decide new RV rules — whether you can store an RV on a vacant lot, how many on big properties, and whether visiting family can park theirs. Staff will bring back a narrower version focused on screening and short-term staging.

Town Council Meeting
Council members grilled staff on draft RV rules — questioning the ban on storing RVs on vacant lots, the five-day visitor limit, and why horse trailers and work trucks aren't covered — before sending staff back to revise.
Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting
Sahuarita is overhauling its RV parking code for the first time since adopting the Pima County code. Rural lot owners get more freedom — one RV by right, up to three total with permits — while residential areas face stricter setbacks and a six-foot screening wall. Guests can stay in an RV up to 5 days free or 10 with a $25 permit, with occupied RVs capped at 15 days per six months.
