Amends Chapters 2, 3, 4, and 9 as summarized below:  PRCC 10-2-2—Specific Definitions. Adds definitions for “Marina, Commercial” and “Park” and replaces the existing recreational vehicle park definition with a combined definition for “Recreational Vehicle Park and Campground.” The combined definition includes recreational vehicle spaces, campsites, tent sites, and similar temporary outdoor lodging sites and excludes manufactured home parks, mobile home parks, subdivisions, and other residential uses intended for permanent occupancy.  PRCC 10-3-1—District Classifications. Adds the MUP, Multi-Use Park, zoning district to the City’s list of zoning district classifications.  PRCC Chapter 4 and PRCC 10-4-12—MUP, Multi-Use Park. Adds the MUP district to the Schedule of District Regulations and creates a new zoning district for coordinated development of publicly owned lands combining recreation, tourism, community uses, and compatible private enterprise. Permitted uses include parks, commercial marinas, recreational vehicle parks and campgrounds, recreational concessions and equipment rentals, restaurants, cafés, food trucks, and public works, public service, and utility uses.

The amendment retains application, site-plan, and minimum development requirements while revising provisions addressing parking, marina-related parking, stormwater drainage, electrical service, public water connections and service lines, service buildings, recreation areas, on-site attendants, refuse collection, and accessory uses. The existing enforcement provision in PRCC 10-9-2 is retained.
