Criteria for approval on long term rv parking?

Question

What are you guys currently using for criteria for long term rv/mobile homes? We have a mixed use park adjoining our home that is mixed with mobiles and rv pads. We are wanting to be very picky since they are so close to our home. We thought about doing short term, but my wife was concerned about having new people without background checks around our kids since they play outside and around that area all the time. Thank you for any input you may have.

I don't understand the question. You said there's a mixed use park next to your home, and you are wanting to be very picky. About what? Are you thinking of doing some RV spots on your property? Is your property zoned for it? The first thing you'll want to do is check with Bend Planning and see what the criteria is.

The housing market in Bend, OR has shot up so fast it's hard to imagine the area is going to be able to sustain so many new people long term. I know most of the locals are hoping for that anyway. The area is beautiful. I too lived there for a few years and loved it. We did a few projects there of new construction and remodeled a couple of places.

The road system in Bend is not set up for the growth that has happened. There definitely is a desperate need for affordable options to housing there. Good luck.
