Review and Provide Feedback on 2025 Code Package

The Redmond 2050 Code Package is currently under review by the Planning Commission, with public hearings already underway, paving the way for anticipated City Council adoption in spring 2025. This package is instrumental in implementing updates to the Redmond 2050 Comprehensive Plan, which was adopted on November 19, 2024. The new regulations aim to streamline design standards, reducing the current 165 pages of guidelines to less than 80 in the latest draft. A significant focus of the revisions includes transitioning from suburban to urban standards while incorporating principles of Universal Design, equity, sustainability, and resiliency. The comprehensive plan serves as a roadmap for growth and development over the next decade, emphasizing community values.

Nearly every neighborhood will see changes in zoning districts, influencing what can be built and how it will look. The amendments also encompass critical plans such as the Overlake Neighborhood Plan and updates to the Water System Plan. This comprehensive approach underscores Redmond's commitment to inclusive and sustainable urban development.
