Thank you.

I call this meeting of the planning and public works committee of the whole to order on Tuesday, July 7th, 2026, commencing at 4 31 p.m.

All council members are in attendance.

We have six items on the agenda today.

First up is establishing the 26-27 annual comprehensive plan amendment docket.

And I will pass it over to Deputy Director Allen.

Thank you.

And just wanted to note that I'm joined by Glenn Coyle, who's online.

He's at a conference.

Um and we'll be speaking to the item.

But we would like to see whether the council is ready to establish the docket by ordinance at the August 3rd business meeting, or if you would like the opportunity to review and discuss during a study session.

If council would like this item at a study session, staff requests that council members identify the topics for discussion in this meeting.

And I will now pass the mic off to Glenn Coyle to provide further information about what is on the proposed docket for this year.

Glenn.

Thanks, Serafi.

Uh good afternoon, council members.

Uh sorry I can't uh be there in person.

Uh just um Glenn Coyle, senior planner.

Uh so as a reminder to the community and the council, the city per state law establish a process to annually update its comprehensive plan.

Keeping the comprehensive plan updated assures that it remains a useful and relevant guide for plan and redmond's future.

The purpose of establishing the docket is to coordinate proposed changes and to help the community track progress.

This year's docket consists of five proposed amendments, all city initiated.

Uh the first is the stormwater and surface water systems plan, which is adopted by reference into the capital facilities element of the compan.

We're also uh we'll be doing a review and potential update of the manufacturing park, business park, and industry zones, policies and regulations.

Um we'll be doing a neighborhood plan and process, which is uh follow-up to the Redmond 2050 process.

And we also have two technical updates to the transportation element.

Uh, one is to repeal um a neighborhood connections map uh that was uh updated and moved to the transportation master plan and also um a couple of up updates, uh project updates to the transportation facilities plan.

Um so the plan commission concluded that the proposals are consistent with the threshold criteria set forth in um Redmond Zone and Code 2176 and recommends that they be added to the 2627 annual docket.

And with that, I turn it back to the chair.

Thank you.

Council members questions.

Council President Stewart.

Thank you so much, team.

Really appreciate it.

Um from the materials provided, it does look like all of the applications for the docket are coming from within our own house.

I did want to check in to see to the city's knowledge if there are any lingering applications or applications that didn't quite make the deadline or any other applications or interest uh from the private sector that might surface uh later on.

Um there was uh one kind of proposal that was kind of floated um related to housing displacement by a community member.

Um it wasn't really a specific uh comprehensive plan policy amendment or zone and code amendment.

Uh we did uh work with them, um, kind of steer them towards um some of the updates on the housing action plan and some of the the programmatic work around housing.

Um the planning commission staff did do uh a little bit of analysis of that and planning commission did look at that, but did not um recommend further that that be considered as a docket item.

Thank you so much.

And that was the only that was the only LCN item or application or discussion out there.

And I'll just add we haven't heard anything else from anyone.

Councilmember Kritzer.

Thank you.

My mic was already on.

Um appreciate the work on this and the planning commission's work as well.

Um I think I would be fine sending this to consent.

Um as a uh reminder to new council members, the decision before us isn't whether we're approving these items themselves, but just putting them on the docket for us to review them in the future.

So all of these seem like they meet the criteria for us to review them to me.

Um, and uh given the planning commission's recommendation, I'm happy with that.

Um just wanted to confirm on the second item.

Is this the item that we talked about with this year's doc one of this year's docket items where we said we might loop it into an update in the future when we're looking at um business park or manufacturing park?

Yeah, that is correct.

And it's also um in in relation to uh I've got the the bill number, the Senate bill number um on allowing yeah um residential and commercial type uses yeah so that's gonna be folded and set yes great well extra excited for that one to be on the docket since we need to figure some of those issues out and I know there's a variety of stakeholders interested in that thank you great seeing no oh one other question council member Prokria uh just a clarifying question on the 2020 2026 27 annual docket of uh comprehensive plan amendments so does this mean that everything we put on the docket before August we will try to establish into code or vote to establish into code during the year 27 um or what is that what is the timeline here yeah it's it's about an eight it's an annual process but it overall it's about an 18 month process for each docket of items um so then the next step is that uh whether you know the studies need to be completed or um or whatnot it will go back through planning commission uh for a final recommendation and then it would come to council most likely next year um and then per the city's code uh council should would take action no later than August 31st of next year but of course these items could be completed sooner and it could come a little bit sooner than that but generally speaking it's already July so most of these items would start coming to council probably next year January February or so I think the main takeaway too is that this is amending their comprehensive plan and that it is only done once a year to the point that we're trying to hold on to the efficacy of the comprehensive plan since we adopted it for a period of time they only come back to change it when once a year and so that's what this docket process is there might be other codes or things that we come with this is not comprehensive of any of all the kind of things that we might come to but it's specific for the comprehensive plan amendments.

Okay.

Councilmember Nueva Covina thank you um just wanted to thank staff and the planning commission for the work that they did on this and that I have no issue with this going to to consent.

Can I see a show of thumbs for consent?

Fantastic we will see this on consent on August 3rd.

Thank you so much.
