SUMMARY PUBLICATION
BILL NO. 2017-6
AN ORDINANCE RELATING TO ZONING; ESTABLISHING
REGULATIONS FOR A CEDAR CORRIDOR OVERLAY DISTRICT; AMENDING
SUBSECTION 512.01 OF THE RICHFIELD CITY CODE; AMENDING THE RICHFIELD
CITY CODE BY CREATING A NEW SUBSECTION 541.23; AMENDING SUBSECTION
537.07; AMENDING APPENDIX I TO THE RICHFIELD CITY CODE BY REZONING
PROPERTIES WITHIN THE CEDAR AVENUE CORRIDOR AREA AS MEDIUM
DENSITY RESIDENTIAL AND MIXED-USE COMMUNITY AND ALSO SUBJECT TO
THE CEDAR AVENUE CORRIDOR OVERLAY DISTRICT REGULATIONS
This summary of the ordinance is published pursuant to Section 3.12 of the
Richfield City Charter.
This ordinance establishes a new Cedar Corridor Overlay District. The ordinance
regulates the land uses that are permitted, conditionally permitted, or prohibited in the
District. It establishes building setback and minimum and maximum building height
requirements. It also establishes requirements for parking, buffer areas between uses,
and delivery traffic. In general, the Overlay District allows for more intense use than is
currently present in the area, but is of a similar or lesser intensity to that which the previous
General Commercial and High-Density Multi-Family Districts would have allowed. The
ordinance requires site plan approval for all development within the Cedar Avenue Corridor
and establishes regulations for uses and structures that do not conform to the new
regulations. The regulations include allowing some expansion of existing single-family
homes.
The ordinance also rezones most of the properties within an area bounded by 66th
Street (north), Highway 77 (east), 77th Street (south), and 17t" Avenue (west). Properties
west of 18th Avenue (which will become Richfield Parkway in the future) will be zoned
Medium and Low-Density. Properties west of 18th Avenue will be zoned Mixed Use —
Community. The Overlay District will apply to all rezoned properties with the exception of
the Low-Density area along 17th Avenue.
Copies of the ordinance are available for public inspection in the City
Clerk's office during normal business hours or upon request by calling the
Department of Community Development at (612) 861-9760. A map showing
the new zoning district boundaries, as well as a list of the addresses of
properties that are being rezoned can be obtained from the Department of
Community Development.
