Cordova Planning Commission approves temporary RV for construction site

The Cordova Planning Commission voted unanimously May 12 to allow a travel trailer on Lot 2A, Block 4 of the Cordova Industrial Park to house workers during construction.

The applicant requested four or five months. City code allows temporary living quarters at construction sites for up to a year. The trailer will connect to city water and sewer.

One commissioner said the trailer would provide security for the busy construction site. Another said the request was straightforward.

Commissioners discussed whether the lot was large enough to accommodate the RV along with heavy equipment access during construction. One commissioner confirmed the trailer must connect to city utilities.

No public testimony was received during the hearing.

The permit requires the temporary living quarters to be removed from the lot or vacated at the end of the 12-month period. The lot is located in the Cordova Industrial Park, a designated industrial-zoned area used for commercial, marine, and light industrial activities.
