# River Falls Plan Commission 11/4/26

The City of River Falls Plan Commission met on November 4, 2026, to consider proposed changes to the city’s extraterritorial subdivision jurisdiction and related planning regulations. Staff recommended exercising subdivision-review authority over a larger area near the Town of Troy, amending the comprehensive plan’s future land use map to designate the area as a “city edge growth preservation area,” and revising Chapter 16.10 to clarify that subdivision rules regulate lot size—not land use or required public improvements. Residents and Town of Troy representatives raised concerns about property rights, statutory compliance, overlap with Hudson’s jurisdiction, and the need for cooperative boundary discussions. The commission approved a motion recommending that the City Council approve the Chapter 16.10 ordinance amendment; the transcript does not establish a separate vote on the comprehensive-plan amendment. Further Council hearings were planned for November 12, 24, and December 8, before Council action.

Staff also reported that the city’s Safe Streets for All grant application for downtown reconstruction was unsuccessful; the city planned to seek reviewer feedback and may consider applying again. No contract awards, vendor selections, bids, or other procurement actions were identified, and no grant funding was awarded at this meeting.
