Redmond 2050: Phase 2 Policies
OVERVIEW STATEMENT:
recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council discuss and provide policy direction on three of the topics identified at the Council's October 3, 2023, business meeting:
* Participation, Implementation, and Evaluation (PIE) Element: roles of city government
* Human Services Element: role of city government
* Land Use Element: building height and other topics
All of these are documented in Attachment A.
On Oct. 3, staff briefed the Council on early drafts of updates to the following Comprehensive Plan elements: Annexation and Regional Planning; Human Services; Capital Facilities; Utilities; Natural Environment; Participation, Implementation, and Evaluation; Climate Resilience and Sustainability; Land Use; and Community Design. Community Design includes policies for Downtown, Marymoor Village, Southeast Redmond, corridors, design, and historic preservation. Collectively these are the "Phase 2" elements. On Oct. 10 the Council held a study session focused on Climate Resilience, Community Design, and moving from policies to strategies and actions.
Councilmembers were sent links to these elements by email in September. They are also part of the October 3, 2023, agenda packet: https://redmond.legistar.com/View.ashx?M=PA&ID=1113807&GUID=AE768BEE-5AF1-4E3F-BBD7-C9E3906124A3....
