City officials have received inquiries about actions to limit or regulate the parking of recreational vehicles on residential properties. No action is pending before the city council at this time.

Here’s what is really happening:

The city’s Community Development staff has been working in a public process with residents of the First Filing and adjacent neighborhoods to identify and address neighborhood issues for the Broomfield Heights First Filing Sub Area Plan. At these meetings, a number of modifications to the city’s nuisance and property maintenance codes have been discussed.

These discussions are still under way. They have included limiting some uses including: recreational vehicle parking, accessory buildings, off-street parking of commercial vehicles and trash container storage.

After the completion of the public process for the Broomfield Heights First Filing Sub Area Plan are completed, recommendations will be forwarded to the city council for review, discussion and consideration. Nothing of this nature has been scheduled before the city council at this time.

Any proposed changes to the Broomfield Municipal Code regarding laws that are applied to the entire city will follow the city council’s regular deliberative process. That includes two readings of the ordinance that contain the changes, as well as a public hearing before the city council where residents are encouraged to voice their opinions.
