AN ORDINANCE AMENDING REGULATIONS
FOR FIREARM SALES, REPAIR, AND OTHER RELATED USES
This summary of the ordinance is published pursuant to Section 3.12 of the Richfield City
Charter.
This ordinance amends several regulations related to the location and operating procedures
required for uses that involve firearms. The amendment adds the Mixed Use Community District as
an area in which these uses would be conditionally permitted; increases the required buffer
distance between these uses and residential uses from 100 feet to 250 feet; adds “parks” as a
protected use which requires a 300-foot buffer; prohibits such uses in downtown Richfield, clarifies
and updates several terms; and directly addresses internet-based and mail-order sales.
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.
