Summary

Riverton City Council approved ordinance 25-21 (AMEND RM-6 zone rear-yard setback to 25 feet where adjacent to single-family residences, with SD exception) and ordinance 25-22 (reinstating consolidated commercial dumpster-enclosure architectural standards). Both were adopted by roll-call vote after staff presentations and public hearings.

During its regular meeting, Riverton City Council approved two ordinances after staff presentations and public hearings. Planning staff explained proposed amendments to the RM-6 multifamily zone (ordinance 25-21), including a recommendation to retain a 25-foot rear-yard setback where new multifamily projects abut existing single-family lots unless the setback is changed through an SD designation as part of a rezone.

The council moved, seconded and passed ordinance 25-21 by roll-call vote. Later, planning staff explained that a recent commercial-code update had accidentally removed a section governing architectural standards for dumpster enclosures; the proposed ordinance 25-22 restored consolidated language across commercial zones. Council adopted ordinance 25-22 as presented. Both votes passed unanimously on the roll calls called in the meeting.
