The City is updating its Critical Areas Regulations to ensure compliance with adopted legislation and the best available science. These regulations provide for protection and mitigation measures when developing properties near wetlands, streams, floodplains, geologic hazards, and aquifer recharge areas. The updates are also being done in coordination with Redmond 2050 and to provide clarity. The Planning Commission begins formal review of the proposed regulations on March 13. As they deliberate the proposal and make their recommendation to the City Council, they will hold multiple study sessions and a public hearing, which is tentatively scheduled for April 10.
