The city created the bylaw to regulate the industry. More than a dozen orchard RV sites had randomly popped up in recent years . This allows the city to control who opens such RV sites in the future and where.
Critics hope the city enforces the guidelines of the bylaw to make sure operators follow all of the rules.
