   Potential Changes to MR-2 and MR-3 Zoning Districts

   The Richfield City Council held a work session discussion on May 13, 2025 to review proposed updates to the MR-2 (Multifamily Residential) and MR-3 (High Density Residential) zoning districts, which staff described as outdated and impractical. The proposed changes aim to modernize development standards to encourage small-scale infill multifamily housing, align with the 2040 Comprehensive Plan, and introduce a three-tier framework covering site area, building coverage, height, parking, open space, and approval processes. Staff also presented potential parking reductions near high-frequency transit stops and provisions to allow multi-building developments without requiring a Planned Unit Development (PUD).
