The City of Wilsonville is beginning a comprehensive review of policies related to parked Recreational Vehicles (RVs) and abandoned vehicles.
This effort, part of a broader review of public safety policy, stems from concerns expressed by several community members about vehicles — including RVs — parked on City streets for prolonged periods.
The City’s goals are twofold: to better understand the nature and extent of the community’s concerns and to evaluate whether the City is currently equipped with resources to effectively manage any policy adjustments. Any new policy must be balanced, enforceable, and responsive to the needs of the community, while avoiding overregulation.
A critical step is to establish a shared understanding of what constitutes an RV. Definitions can vary; a consistent, well-communicated definition will ensure that any future code revisions are applied fairly and effectively. Distinguishing between general vehicle storage issues and RV-specific concerns helps the City’s align its response with the expectations of the public and City Council.
To inform this project, the City seeks feedback from community members to gain a clearer picture of the underlying concerns and to enhance the community’s understanding of current City code.
A short survey, below, is available to registered users through Oct. 5. Feedback collected from this survey will play a vital role in shaping the City’s understanding of public concerns and developing practical, long-term solutions.
