Council approves rezone for 2155 Keane Road following hearing-examiner recommendation
Summary
After a closed-record review, Richland City Council unanimously approved rezoning roughly 10.26 acres at 2155 Keane Road from agricultural/suburban-agriculture to C-2 (retail business), following the hearing examiner's 06/02/2026 recommendation.
Richland City Council voted unanimously to approve a rezone application for property addressed as 2155 Keane Road, changing approximately 10.26 acres from agricultural/suburban-agriculture to C-2 retail business. The action came during a closed-record review in which the council relied on the record developed before the hearing examiner, including the hearing examiner’s 06/02/2026 recommendation.
Ryan Nelson, a senior planner with the city, presented the application and materials and recommended that council follow the hearing examiner’s decision. "I just recommend that you follow the hearing examiner's decision and approve the reason," Nelson said. The record includes the application materials, staff report, exhibits, and testimony presented at the examiner’s public hearing on 05/11/2026.
The council moved to begin deliberation and then held a roll-call vote that resulted in unanimous approval. Council members cited the hearing-examiner record and the materials included in the file as the basis for their decision. The council’s action closes the local hearing phase for this rezone; the record indicates the parcel is described as revised parcel 2 of record survey number 6250 and is referenced in city files with a parcel ending in 1009.
