Riverton council approves two South Redwood Road rezonings totaling about 3.6 acres

Riverton City Council adopted two ordinances on July 21, 2026, changing approximately 3.6 acres along South Redwood Road from RR-22 to RM-6 zoning.

The zoning-map amendments create a framework for smaller minimum residential lots and a higher stated density standard than the previous zoning. They do not, by themselves, approve a subdivision, site plan, building permit, construction project or project completion date.

What changed

Ordinance 26-17, the George Rezone, covers approximately 1.80 acres at 12345 and 12363 South Redwood Road. The ordinance identifies David George of A Better Quality Home as the applicant.

Ordinance 26-18, the Prince Rezone, covers approximately 1.80 acres at 12341 and 12389 South Redwood Road. The applicant is listed as Alan Prince of MP & G LLC.

The July 21 city council agenda listed both rezonings as public-hearing and action items. Each final ordinance amends Riverton’s zoning map and states that the change takes effect upon passage. The ordinances were adopted on July 21, 2026.

How the zoning standards differ

Riverton’s public-hearing notice described the prior RR-22 zoning as single-family residential with a minimum lot size of one-half acre.

The notice said RM-6 allows detached single-family units on lots of at least 5,000 square feet, with a stated density of six units per acre. In practical terms, the change allows a smaller minimum lot size and a greater stated residential intensity than the previous half-acre-lot standard.

The approximately 3.6-acre total is based on the city’s approximate acreage descriptions for two separate rezone areas. The ordinances do not establish that the properties are one combined development or that either applicant has received approval for a specific housing layout.

What the ordinances do not approve

The action changes the zoning designation on the Riverton map. It does not approve a subdivision plat, site plan, engineering plans, infrastructure design, building permits or a construction schedule.

If development applications are submitted later, they would undergo additional city review. Future filings could address lot configuration, access, utilities, drainage, engineering and building permits, but none of those details is established by Ordinances 26-17 and 26-18.

What to watch next

The next concrete records would be any subdivision, site-plan or related development applications for the affected parcels. Those filings would provide more information about whether the property owners pursue development and what form it might take.

The final ordinances document adoption on July 21, but this article does not report individual council votes or a vote total because the available ordinance text does not verify those details. Any vote breakdown should be confirmed from the official meeting recording or approved minutes before publication.
