At the June 17, 2026 City of Dover Board of Adjustment meeting, the Board heard an appeal (Appeal Application #V) concerning Kings Cliffe Manufactured Home Park at 1131 S. Bay Road regarding the expansion of a legal nonconforming use for recreational vehicles (RVs). The applicant contended that 21 designated RV lots should be permitted as a longstanding affordable housing option, while City Code Enforcement argued the prior 2021 ruling was limited to 17 lots and raised safety concerns about uninspected RVs sited near manufactured homes. Following testimony and public comment, the Board voted 3-1 to limit the nonconforming use to 17 lots. The Board also voted 5-0 to postpone review of the Draft Rules of Procedure to a future meeting.
