A proposed ordinance is back up for discussion Tuesday night in response to concerns from residents and business owners about RVs and oversized vehicles parked for months at a time along public streets such as Burbank Street.
“Down Burbank, just a couple weeks ago, the bus, RV and another vehicle that has been referenced several times tonight are still there. They are legally parked. There is not anything that we can do to make those vehicles move,” City and County of Broomfield Code Compliance Supervisor Brandon Murray said during a January Broomfield City Council meeting.
The proposed ordinance would limit RV and oversized vehicle parking to 72 hours within a 14-day period and ban things like leaking fluids or hooking up to utilities on public streets. Right now, Broomfield does not have a law limiting how long vehicles can stay parked on public streets.

Another new amendment to the proposal is a temporary permit designed for people facing hardship or mechanical issues that could allow someone to stay in their vehicle for up to 28 days. Under the ‘Green Pass,’ vehicles would still have to move every seven days and could not stay in the same neighborhood for more than 14 days…
