AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE RICHFIELD CITY CODE
TO UPDATE RESIDENTIAL DRIVEWAY REGULATIONS
This summary of the ordinance is published pursuant to Section 3.12 of the
Richfield City Charter.
This ordinance revised regulations related to driveway widths in the boulevard and
front yard area in the Single-Family Residential (R and R-1) and Two-Family Residential
(MR-1) Districts. The ordinance relaxed restrictions on driveway width for properties with
narrow garages, while clarifying how wider driveways shall be tapered to meet existing
narrower curb cuts. The ordinance restricts properties with alley access from adding front
driveways, and limits the addition of turnaround areas to arterial streets. The ordinance
also restricts corner properties from having two driveways (R and R-1 Districts only).
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.
Adopted by the City Council of the City of Richfield, Minnesota this 24th day of
October, 2017.
