The Community Development Department relies on the help of the Planning Commission, the City Council and the Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) to regulate housing, commercial redevelopment and land use in Richfield. In the first decade of the 2000s, the Department worked on the development of Cedar Point Commons near highway 77, City Bella on 66th Street and Lyndale Avenue and Kensington Park on 76th Street and Lyndale Ave. The Department is located at City Hall.
