A suggested zoning change that would allow citizens to live in qualifying RVs by seeking a variance will return to the Parsons Planning Commission as early as October. Planners in August were to consider a zoning change that would allow people to live in RVs stored on private property. However, planners voted to keep the zoning regulation that allows proper storage of RVs on private property but restricts citizens from living in these RVs. Their decision returned to the Parsons City Commission Tuesday to accept or deny the recommendation, send it back for study or suggest something different. Parsons city commissioners on Tuesday, after a lengthy discussion, voted to return the RV issue to the planners with a recommendation to consider implementing a variance option with restrictions on what RVs would qualify and how utility hookups and other matters would be handled.
