Riverside Master Plan
Planning for the future

The primary goal of the Master Plan is to create a map of improvements for today and for the next twenty years that reflects the desires of citizens and business leaders. The Master Plan lays out strategies for preserving the core characteristics that make Riverside unique, while improving the portions that detract from the community's vision for a better future. Download the complete Master Plan, a 13MB Adobe Acrobat document. For users with slower internet connections, the Master Plan is also available from the Document Center (see upper right) as smaller, individual "chapters.

Every recommendation within the Master Plan came from the citizens of Riverside. There were, of course, differing opinions and life-perspectives on many issues, but even where there were disagreements the challenges often times lifted the dialogue to a more thorough evaluation. It is the intent of the Master Plan to synthesize the hundreds of pieces of good advice into a comprehensive strategy for governing Riverside in the coming years. Learn more about citizen involvement and the planning process.

The City of Riverside has tremendous potential. The outpouring of community support demonstrated throughout the master planning process makes this a very promising moment in the City's history. With proper consideration and guidance from City officials, Riverside can have more amenities, provide a greater variety of shopping choices, protect its natural resources, and build a community that is proud of its character.

Follow the Rules this Summer
 
 

Don’t forget to get a permit before starting your summer home improvement projects.  Most projects, including roofs, decks and fences, require a permit from the City before construction starts.  Permits can be obtained from City Hall. 

Help keep Riverside looking nice by making sure your grass is cut this summer.  City code requires grass to be below 10 inches.  If you need special assistance with this issue, please contact the Code Enforcement Officer at City Hall at 741-3993.
