As part of the City of Redmond’s effort to rewrite its zoning code, the city will host a drop-in Open Office Event from 3-6:30 p.m. Thursday, April 15 in the Trestle Room on the first floor of Redmond City Hall, 15670 NE 85th Street.
The purpose of rewriting the city’s zoning code is to improve the clarity, conciseness and predictability of the code for all users.
Drop-by the Trestle Room to tell city staff how regulations for Downtown, Overlake, land division, telecommunications, performance bonding and design standards can be improved. Ideas being considered include:
• Update Downtown and Overlake street cross-sections to be consistent with transportation study outcomes
• Emphasize the relationship between buildings and the street in the Downtown and Overlake urban centers
• Clarify when design standards are required vs. when they are encouraged
• Consolidate and streamline performance bonding, telecommunications and land division regulations
City staff seeks public input prior to review of these sections of the zoning code by the Code Rewrite Commission, which will begin its review in May 2010.
If attendance at the event is not possible, provide all ideas either through RCDGrewrite@redmond.gov or by calling (425) 556-2440. To subscribe to the weekly code rewrite e-newsletter, send an email to the above address. More information about the process is available at www.redmond.gov/rcdgrewrite.
