SUMMARY PUBLICATION
BILL NO. 2021-17
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE RICHFIELD ZONING CODE
REGULATIONS FOR BICYCLE PARKING REQUIREMENTS
This summary of the ordinance is published pursuant to Section 3.12 of the Richfield City
Charter.
This ordinance updates bicycle parking requirements, in line with efforts to reduce
transportation emissions (the largest share of emissions affecting climate change) and to improve
public health and local transportation accessibility. The updated ordinance would require new
developments to install bike parking racks in amounts based on the size and type of land use or
the residential density, instead of the number of auto parking spaces on site.
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 23rd day of November,
2021.
Mary B. Supple, Mayor Pro Tempore
