Comprehensive Plan

RICHFIELD 2040 - BUILT FOR THE FUTURE!
Throughout 2017-2018, City staff and the Comprehensive Plan Task Force worked to update the City's Comprehensive Plan. This Plan will inform decisions regarding land use, transportation, pedestrian and bicycle facilities, parks, utilities, and public facilities. The Plan is future-oriented – looking ahead at what Richfield could be in 2040, and sets goals and policies to help us reach that long-term vision. .

The City Council approved a resolution to adopt the 2040 Comprehensive Plan on Tuesday, November 13, 2018. The plan is now effective following review by the Metropolitan Council. Going forward, some properties in the city will be rezoned to match new Comprehensive Plan designations.

2030 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN

Richfield's Comprehensive Plan is intended to provide a long-term vision, complete with strategic goals, objectives, policies and recommendations, that will guide land use development and policies over the next 10 to 20 years.  Cities use comprehensive plans as a road map to help inform decisions regarding land use, transportation, pedestrian and bicycle facilities, parks, utilities and public facilities.  This plan was adopted by the City Council in February 2009.
