Proposed Broomfield ordinance on RV parking raises concerns for unhoused residents

The Broomfield City Council will consider a proposed ordinance next month that would impose stricter parking rules for large recreational vehicles on public streets. The draft law limits parking to 72 hours within any 14-day period and requires the vehicle to be adjacent to the owner's property for loading or unloading. Community advocates have raised concerns about the impact on unhoused individuals living in their vehicles, noting the city currently offers only three designated RV parking spots through a partnership program.
