2021-2022 Comprehensive Plan Docket

Under state law Redmond may update its Comprehensive Plan once per year.  Keeping the Comprehensive Plan updated assures that it remains a useful and relevant guide for planning Redmond’s future.

As the first step in this process, the City informs the community and city staff of the opportunity to submit proposals to amend the comprehensive and associated zoning code. After the changes are identified, the Redmond Planning Commission and then the City Council review and confirm the list of amendments (known as the “docket”) to be considered over the course of the year.  The purpose of establishing the docket is to coordinate proposed changes and to help the community track progress.  A detailed process to amend the Redmond Comprehensive Plan can be found in the Redmond Zoning Code 21.76.070.J.

The timeline for establishing the 2021-2022 Comprehensive Plan Docket is:

On June 30, 2021, the Redmond Planning Commission approved its report recommending that 3 of the 4 applications be included in the 2021-22 Comprehensive Plan Docket.  

On July 20, the Redmond City Council held a meeting and provided an opportunity for public comment on the 2021-22 Docket and Planning Commission recommendation.  

At that meeting, the City Council decided to include the ordinance to adopt the 2021-22 Docket, as recommended by the Planning Commission, on the consent agenda at the Council’s regular business meeting on August 17, 2021.  

During the August 17, 2021 meeting, the Redmond City Council approved Ordinance 3057, approving the 2021-22 Comprehensive Plan Docket. 

Next Steps 

Going forward, Redmond City Planning staff, the Planning Commission and the City Council will evaluate each docketed item, per the criteria set forth in RZC 21.76.070.J.9 with final action taken by the City Council by August 31, 2022. 

All Planning Commission and City Council meetings are open to the public and are cablecast live on RCTV channel 21 (Comcast) or 34 (Ziply) and streamed live and archived for on demand viewing.
