“An exciting story continues to unfold through people who live, work, and visit Downtown’s Historic Core,” said Mayor John Marchione. “Through careful and collaborative planning of the Core’s architecture and infrastructure, we can all enjoy a vibrant and cherished Downtown for people of all ages and interests.”
Redmond’s Historic Core is on Leary Way from Bear Creek Parkway to NE 80th Street and from the Downtown Park to 164th Avenue NE. The plan for the Historic Core will ultimately include updated policies, revised regulations and design standards, a promotional program, and informational guides on topics such as how to set up a new business.
The majority of Redmond’s 16 historic landmark buildings are within the Historic Core. The proposed amendments will guide new development in a manner that is consistent with the City’s vision for Downtown and also the District’s traditional character and nature of the landmarks that date back to 1870.
The Planning Commission will consider the final portion of proposed Historic Core updates during October and November. Opportunities for the public to review and comment on the proposed amendments include:
- An open house on Monday, August 15, 2016, from 5 to 7 pm at City Hall (Bytes Café), 15670 NE 85th Street. The event will include materials for review and comment; and
- Public hearing at 7 pm on November 9, 2016.
