Ordinances & Quicklinks
This ordinance is designed to guide land use management together with land division and development decisions in the City of Richmond, Kentucky as a means of implementing the city’s Comprehensive Plan. It is the desire of the City of Richmond and the Richmond Planning Commission that the use of this document will facilitate the orderly development of the city in the future.
Our communities are constantly changing and shifting. As we look into the future, we can choose to merely react to change or anticipate and direct the changes that occur. When we engage in a comprehensive planning process, the community is both responding to changes that have occurred and planning for changes that will likely occur in the future.
The continuing growth and development in the City of Richmond has generated the need to expand and update many of the city’s regulations over the past few years. The Comprehensive Plan outlined many of the near-term and long-term goals to provide better services to the citizens of Richmond. This manual expands and updates the City of Richmond transportation regulations, both for new development as well as a tool to guide government-funded infrastructure improvements.
