BILL NO. 1996-22
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTIONS 506, 521 AND 541 OF APPENDIX B TO THE
RICHFIELD CITY CODE RELATING TO CLUSTER HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS
The above referenced sections have been taken pursuant to the authority of Minnesota
Statutes, section 462.357. This summary of the amendment is published pursuant to section

Cluster housing is defined as three or more detached one family dwellings or a row, group or

design compatible with the surrounding neighborhood, landscaping, adequate parking, open
space and a density consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Flexibility in setbacks could be
applied to developments that demonstrate a superior design.
