Code Rewrite Commission
As part of the Redmond Community Development Guide (RCDG) Rewrite project, the City has established a temporary Code Rewrite Commission (CRC). The primary responsibility of the Code Rewrite Commission is to review proposed zoning code updates to ensure that they are consistent with the mission of the RCDG rewrite, as well as the principles adopted to guide the rewrite process. Commissioners will analyze materials prepared by staff and City consultants, and will hold public hearings to obtain formal public input.
Regular meetings take place every Monday at 6:00 p.m. in the City Council Chambers.
