OVERVIEW STATEMENT:
recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt ten ordinances and one resolution (Attachments C-M), which together constitute the 2024 adoption package for Redmond 2050, the periodic update of the Redmond Comprehensive Plan. Since the November 4 Committee of the Whole meeting:
• The Redmond 2050 Comprehensive Plan acknowledgements page was completed.
• Staff confirmed that the “Transition to New Standards” language was included in the amendments to RMC 3.38 Multifamily Housing Property Tax Exemption and so no changes were needed.
• Staff confirmed that the mechanism for partially exempting day care facilities from payment of transportation impact fees was included in the amendments to RMC 3.10 Impact Fees and so no changes were needed.
• Staff added the 2025-2030 Capital Facilities Plan to the adoption package (Attachment M). It was recommended by the Planning Commission on July 31, 2024, and reviewed by the City Council in September, but inadvertently omitted from your November 4 Committee of the Whole materials.
