20C.70.10-010 Purpose.

The purpose of this chapter is to contain all regulations that are area-specific (or site-specific). The regulations in this chapter apply in addition or in some cases replace Citywide zone and development regulations. This chapter contains two parts: (1) neighborhood regulations that implement neighborhood policies and (2) design district zone regulations for specific sites in the City. The map entitled “Neighborhood Overlays and Design Districts” shows the general location where regulations in this chapter apply. (Ord. 1901)

20C.70.10-020 Purpose for Neighborhood Regulations.

The Redmond Comprehensive Plan provides for area-specific regulations in some parts of the City based upon the neighborhood policies. This section is intended to identify the development regulations that address the neighborhood policies in the Comprehensive Plan. (Ord. 1901)

20C.70.10-030 Purpose for Design District Zones.

A design district zone is intended to take advantage of opportunities for appropriate mixes of uses in locations well suited to those uses. Special design district zones allow for the implementation of use regulations that apply to specific sites. These sites typically consist of either large parcels in a common ownership where a master plan is developed for a unified development or sites of major institutions, such as hospitals. (Ord. 1901)
