One application was withdrawn by the applicant on July 29, 2021.
The three applications recommended for inclusion are:

ANTICIPATED RESULT IF NOT APPROVED:
The City <https://redmond.municipal.codes/RZC/21.78__57d056ed0984166336b7879c2af3657f> Council reviews the recommendation of the Planning Commission and considers whether proposed amendments should <https://redmond.municipal.codes/RZC/21.78__991e1b7e0abe0b445300cd123c16dd16> be included in or excluded from the annual review, or should <https://redmond.municipal.codes/RZC/21.78__991e1b7e0abe0b445300cd123c16dd16> be deferred based on the docketing threshold criteria in RZC 21.76.070.J.6. The City Council’s decision to exclude an application from the docket terminates the application. Proposals excluded from the annual review docket may not be considered again for two years. The City Council’s decision to defer an application means the application may be considered, as specified by the Council, for the next annual docket cycle, neighborhood plan review and update, a previously established work program, or the next periodic review cycle (i.e. Redmond 2050).
