Redmond 2050: Land Use and Community Design
OVERVIEW STATEMENT:
recommendation
Staff will introduce a series of community conversations related to land use and introduce the idea of creating a Community Design Element into the Comprehensive Plan. Following the staff report on March 7, 2023, staff collected initial questions and interests from Councilmembers in preparation for further discussion at the March 14, 2023, study session. The objective of the study session is to understand Council interests and priorities for these topics so that staff can design land use outreach and develop a Community Design Element that is responsive to issues raised by Council.
