SUMMARY PUBLICATION
BILL NO. 2021-10
A TRANSITORY ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING A SIX-MONTH MORATORIUM ON THE
ESTABLISMENT OF NEW USES INVOLVING FIREARMS, AND DIRECTING THAT A
PLANNING STUDY BE CONDUCTED
This summary of the transitory ordinance is published pursuant to Section 3.12 of the
Richfield City Charter.
This interim ordinance establishes a city-wide, six-month moratorium on the
establishment of any new commercial use involving firearms to allow time for a planning
study. The City has not thoroughly reviewed regulations related to firearms since 2004,
and believes it would be wise to conduct a planning study to examine current standards
and to discuss whether or not adjustments should be made.
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 25th day of May,
2021.
