The City of Redmond is updating the Stream Map in the Critical Areas
Ordinance map portfolio. This Update is based upon recent field
reconnaissance work by Washington Trout. It also identifies Riparian
Habitats of Local Importance. Additionally,
definitions of Habitats of
Local Importance and Riparian Habitats of Local Importance are proposed.
A direct link is provided to the
Washington Trout website that summarizes the results of the studies
they performed for the City. An explanation of how the Washington Trout
data have been used by the City to update the Stream Map is included,
along with links to other related sites.
No new regulations are proposed. Development near streams will be
regulated under the existing stream regulations of the City’s
Critical
Areas Ordinance (Ordinance #2259).

stream map is a general guidance document of the City’s best available
information on stream classifications.
