Badger Mountain South Master Planned Community

This multi-phase development will bring over 5,000 new homes, ranging from single-family to multi-family units, along with schools, over 400 acres of trails, parks, and gathering spaces. The development will also feature upscale retail and dining to serve the growing community. AHBL joined the project in 2013 to help make the 1,480-acre site more appealing to developers. They revised the Land Use Designation Regulations (LUDR) to streamline development—reducing unnecessary roads, removing alley requirements, and replacing large stormwater ponds with smaller, site-specific infiltration systems. These changes improved both cost-efficiency and sustainability.

The first phase, West Vineyard, saw a 50% increase in lot sales under the new LUDR. AHBL’s proactive engagement with city officials helped accelerate adoption of the revised regulations by six months. They continue to provide design and permitting support for future phases.

When completed, the project is planned to include:

• 142 acres of single-family large lots
• 553 acres of urban-sized single-family lots
• 155 acres of multi-family residential
• 205+ acres of greenway parks
• 48+ acres of small parks added to neighborhoods as subdivisions develop
• 36+ acres of future City of Richland Community and Neighborhood Parks
• 22+ acres of greenbelts
• 18+ miles of trails, including paved, gravel and equestrian links
• 4 neighborhood school sites
• Community storage site
• Playfields, picnic areas, dog parks, and other outdoor areas
