   Discussion of Potential Changes to MR-2 & MR-3 Zoning Districts

   A joint work session of the Richfield Planning Commission and City Council was scheduled to discuss potential updates to the MR-2 (Multifamily Residential) and MR-3 (High Density Residential) zoning districts, which staff described as outdated and impractical. The discussion was expected to focus on 'Tier I' high-level design standards covering building size, placement, height, setbacks, and parking as part of a three-tiered modernization approach. No rezonings of specific properties were proposed at this stage — the effort was framed as updating the rules that govern how multifamily buildings are designed and built in these districts.
