Council approves rezoning and plat for Rich River Trails addition
Summary
Council approved rezoning four parcels from Planned Unit Development to Z4 general urban district and approved the preliminary and final plat for Rich River Trails First Addition, allowing 28 single-family lots subject to 25 conditions, mostly stormwater-related.
The New Richmond City Council approved two related land-use actions affecting the Rich River Trails subdivision: a rezoning request to change four undeveloped parcels from a planned unit development (PUD) to Z4 (general urban) zoning and approval of the preliminary and final plat for Rich River Trails First Addition.
City planning staff said the rezoning would align the parcels with the city’s future land-use map for low-density residential and allow 28 single-family lots consistent with Z4 standards. The plan commission and city staff recommended approval of the rezoning with no conditions.
The council also approved the preliminary and final plat for 28 single-family lots. Staff said the plat includes dedication of right-of-way for three streets (Rich River Way, Trailway and Legacy Parkway), connection to 140th Street, no parkland dedication (applicants will pay park impact fees at permit time), relocation of underground primary utilities on Outlot 3 at the developer’s expense, and 25 conditions — the majority related to stormwater corrections to be completed with consultant review.
Council members took roll call votes and approved both the rezoning and the plat with the conditions recommended by staff. Staff said the developer (Twin Cities Land Development on behalf of Creative Homes Investment LLC) will work with consultants to complete the outstanding conditions before final recording.
