The Planning Commission has officially removed the restrictive language from the draft zoning ordinance. I appreciate the time each of you contributed to ensuring our property rights remained intact. We will continue to monitor the final publication to confirm that these requirements are fully excluded.

Section A 17.39.070 is a clause in the new zoning code that describes what can be done on each piece of property in Goleta that outlines changes to how and where you can park your RVs, motorhomes, 5th wheels, campers, travel trailers, tent trailers, and boats on your property. Most will not be able to conform to staying out of the front setback area. Let the Planning Commission and the City Council know your concerns!

The City of Goleta needs to stop its "HOA" mentality. Finding RV storage that is affordable and available is next to impossible in the southern Santa Barbara County and this ordinance places an undue financial burden upon RV/property owners.
I work in commercial fishing as a deckhand and my whole goal is to own my own fishing vessel. with this ordinance I would be forced to buy a slip at the harbor and not be able to park it in my driveway. making my life harder than it needs to be.
First City of Goleta took away the 50+ year off street parking for boats or RVs' in front of your own house, now City of Goleta proposes to control what can be parked or stored on your own property, even your driveway? Who even thinks to write zoning laws like this?
The creation of the 20' setback for RV's will be a great inconvenience for me as I have a short driveway. I may have to give up ownership of my camper and this will affect my lifestyle. This regulation would have a serious negative impact on our family.
I sometimes have to park our clubs trailer at my house when Eling's Park has parties and our spot is taken. When this happens we park the trailer on my driveway. If this ordinance is passed as is, I will no longer be able to legally park the trailer at my house.
What's next? No red cars? No blue houses?
For all those who don't have an RV or a boat but do have a high hedge, fence, or a shed within setbacks look out you are next.

We bought our home in 1984 because we could have our RV. Now the city of Goleta that we call home wants to take that away! We live on social security and can't afford to store it even if there was a place to do so. I thought this was a free country!
