This section is included in your selections.

A. Generally. Travel trailer parks and campgrounds, where they are a conditional use, shall meet the design and performance standards set forth herein. After conditional use approval has been granted, a travel trailer park or campground site plan shall be submitted to the Department of Community Planning prior to the issuance of zoning permit allowing construction to commence.

B. Site Plan. The applicant shall provide a site plan drawn at a scale in which all of the requirements of this section are clearly shown. In addition, the following shall be shown:

1. Name of the travel trailer park or campground, ownership, name of developer, scale, north arrow, date and location map showing the location of the park or campground;

2. All four corners of the development shall be tied by course and distance to establish subdivision and U.S. Government Survey Monuments, and the site plan must include a description of corner markers indicating how the bearings were determined;

3. Tract boundary lines, rights-of-way lines of streets, easements and other rights-of-way, with accurate dimensions and bearings, on each line and the radius, arc, length, semitangent and central angle for each curve;

4. Identification of each trailer lot or space by letter or number;

5. Location and description of monuments, lot corners and other survey points in place.

C. Area, Setback, and Height Requirements. The following requirements shall apply to all buildings, structures and travel trailers within a park or campground.

1. Required Yards. Yards of not less than 20 feet shall be required from all property lines which form the perimeter of the travel trailer park or campground.

2. Building Height. Building height shall not be greater than 35 feet.

3. Space Area. Each travel trailer or campground space shall not be less than 1,250 square feet in area.

4. Space Width. Each travel trailer or campground space shall not be less than 25 feet in width.

5. Distance Between Structures. The minimum side-to-side and end-to-end spacing between travel trailers and/or permitted buildings or structures and any subsequent additions thereto shall not be less than 15 feet.

D. Design of Entrance and Exits. Entrances and exits shall be designed for safe and convenient movement of traffic into and out of the park, and to minimize hazards with traffic on adjacent streets. A minimum of two access points shall be provided and all traffic into and out of the park shall be through such entrances and exits. No entrance or exit shall require a turn at an acute angle for vehicles moving in the direction intended, and radii of curbs and pavement at intersections shall be a minimum of 25 feet to facilitate easy turning movements for vehicles with trailers attached. No object or material impediment to visibility shall be created, placed or maintained which obscures the view of an approaching driver in the right lane of the street. No entrance or exit shall be located nearer than 30 feet from any street intersection, or 10 feet from the radius point, whichever is more.

E. Internal Streets. Streets shall be provided in the park or campground where necessary to furnish principal traffic-ways for safe and convenient access to all spaces and to facilitate for common use by park or campground occupants. Unless in a public park or campground, streets shall be privately owned, constructed and maintained.

F. Street Alignment and Gradient. Street alignment and gradient shall be designed and constructed to ensure the safe movement of traffic, and to satisfactorily control surface water and groundwater.

G. Street Surfacing. Streets shall consist of a sound all-weather driving surface consisting of gravel, cinders, asphalt or concrete.

H. Street Widths. Notwithstanding any provision in FNSBC Title 17, streets shall meet the following minimum size standards:

1. Ten feet per moving lane;

2. Seven feet per on-street parallel parking lane, where on-site parking for each space is not provided;

3. Two feet additional for pedestrian use per side, if sidewalks are not provided;

4. Street widths, at access points where traffic enters or leaves the park, shall be of sufficient size to permit free movement from or to the stream of traffic on the adjacent public streets, and no parking shall be permitted which in any way interferes with such free movement.

I. Management offices and common facilities shall be located as nearly as possible, and be equally distant from all travel trailer or campground spaces. Buildings and structures shall be located, to the greatest extent possible, so that they will not be visible from any point outside the travel trailer park or campground.

J. Disposal of Waste, Sewage, Garbage and Trash. Disposal of wastewater, sewage, garbage or trash shall be in facilities that have been approved by the State of Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation.

K. Exterior Lighting. Where provided, exterior lighting shall be so located and shielded as to prevent direct illumination of sleeping area either within the park area or on any contiguous property of a more restrictive zoning district. (Ord. 88-010 § 2, 1988. 2004 Code § 18.50.110.)
