Establishing the 2026-27 Annual Comprehensive Plan Amendment Docket
OVERVIEW STATEMENT:
recommendation
Staff is asking Council to establish the 2026-27 Annual Docket of Comprehensive Plan Amendments. At the July 7, 2026, Committee of the Whole meeting, staff will ask Councilmembers if they are ready to establish the docket via ordinance, or would prefer an opportunity to review and discuss during a July study session. If the latter, staff would appreciate Councilmembers identifying discussion topics for that study session.
Per the Redmond Zoning Code, Council must take action on establishing the annual docket no later than August 31.
The City received five city-initiated proposals for inclusion in the 2026-27 docket:
* Stormwater and Surface Water Systems Plan
* MP, BP, and Industrial Zones Policies and Regulations
* Neighborhood Planning
* Repeal Neighborhood Connections maps
* Transportation Facilities Plan (TFP) update
The Planning Commission concluded that the proposals are consistent with the threshold criteria set forth in RZC 21.76.070.J.6 and recommends that they be added to the 2026-2027 Annual Docket. The Planning Commission's report and recommendation can be found in Attachment A.
