Stormwater and Surface Water System Plan Progress Update
OVERVIEW STATEMENT:
recommendation
This memo provides a high-level progress update on the Stormwater and Surface Water System (SSWS) Plan, including status and timeline, and key findings from community engagement activities conducted. A consultant contract for the system plan was adopted in 2024. The SSWS Plan is progressing toward adoption, which is anticipated in Q3 2027.
The Plan, which is included on the 2026-27 Comprehensive Plan amendment docket, will be adopted by reference into the City’s Redmond 2050 Comprehensive Plan, Capital Facilities element, in order to fulfil State requirements for capital facilities planning. It will provide a comprehensive assessment and strategic approach to managing stormwater and surface water in the City of Redmond, helping guide City staff, the public, and decision-makers toward meeting goals and regulatory requirements. This plan would build upon and link numerous existing planning efforts related to stormwater and surface water management into a cohesive approach that will provide a path to implementation for capital improvement projects and programmatic actions.
