2025 Code Updates

Redmond, WALocal News

Redmond's upcoming 2025 Code Updates will significantly alter its zoning regulations, focusing on restructuring and consolidating various zones. Major revisions include moving all use-based regulations to Article I and creating new zones for neighborhood and mixed-use areas. The Planning Commission will conduct public hearings in late 2024 to gather community input on the proposed changes. This process aims to align the zoning code with the Redmond 2050 Comprehensive Plan, enhancing urban planning and development. Adoption by the City Council is anticipated in Spring 2025, following a thorough review in early 2025.

The package will also introduce affordable housing requirements for specific areas, addressing local housing needs. With the final drafts published in a new chapter organization, residents will have clear access to updated code references. Overall, these changes are designed to streamline regulations and promote sustainable community growth.
