FACILITIES AND WIRELESS SUPPORT STRUCTURES IN THE RIGHT-OF-WAY
This summary of the ordinance is published pursuant to Section 3.12 of the
Richfield City Charter.
This ordinance revises rules related to the installation of new small wireless (cellular

requirements for all new facilities to be installed in the public right-of-way, in any zoning
district in the City. Requirements include screening of ground equipment, matching the
color of new equipment to the support structure to which it is affixed or to surroundings,
height limitations, mounting preferences, spacing requirements, location preferences along
lot lines, passive cooling systems, prohibits advertising, and regulates the trimming of trees
to facilitate installation.

Development at (612) 861-9760.
Adopted by the City Council of the City of Richfield, Minnesota this 10th day of
