title

Redmond 2050 Quarterly Update - Fourth Quarter 2022

OVERVIEW STATEMENT:

Staff will share draft policy considerations for Redmond 2050 Phase 2 topics. Policy considerations are those topic areas that will be considered during Redmond 2050. This is in preparation for the Council’s October 11 study session where staff will ask the Council: “What’s missing? What else should be considered during Redmond 2050?”

 

While not a focus of the study session, staff also wants to make Council aware that second drafts for the Housing, Economic Vitality, and Transportation Elements have been published, with second drafts for the Urban Centers (Overlake only) and PARCC Elements expected in October. These can be found at Redmond.gov/redmond2050 <https://www.redmond.gov/Redmond2050>.
