OVERVIEW STATEMENT:
recommendation
The Redmond 2050 Comprehensive Plan was adopted on Nov. 19, 2024, by ordinances 3181 through 3190. A 10-day notice of adoption was submitted to WA Dept. of Commerce on Nov. 27, 2024.

Furthermore, if the city took multiple legislative actions as part of the periodic update process, the final ordinance or resolution should reference all prior legislative actions.
