Deadline June 2 The City of Redmond invites any
individual, business, or organization to submit applications
for amendments to Redmond's Comprehensive Plan. The
deadline for amendment applications to be considered during
2008-09 is 5pm on Monday, June 2, 2008. Proposals
received after the deadline will be considered during
2009-10.
The Comprehensive Plan describes the community's long-term
values and goals, guiding Redmond's physical, economic and
social development. It includes a land use plan,
as well as sections on topics such as Housing, Economic
Vitality, Transportation and Capital Facilities. It
also includes sections with policies specific to Redmond's
ten neighborhoods that the City defines as Bear Creek,
Southeast Redmond, North Redmond, Education Hill,
Willow/Rose Hill, Grass Lawn, Overlake, Sammamish Valley,
Viewpoint and Downtown.
Amendment requests may involve either the text or map
portions of the Comprehensive Plan.
The City completed a major review and update of the
Comprehensive Plan in 2004. This year's amendment
package will focus on minor revisions as needed to citywide
policies and updates to certain neighborhood-specific
policies as part of neighborhood planning efforts.
The application forms and instructions for requesting an
amendment are available by calling the Comprehensive
Planning Division at 425-556-2440 or by
visiting
our website. There is no fee for applying for a
Comprehensive Plan amendment.
Applicants are strongly encouraged to meet with City
planning staff prior to submitting an application. For
questions or to schedule an appointment, please contact Jeff
Churchill, 425-556-2492 or
jchurchill@redmond.gov.
