Request: To amend the City of Redmond Development Code by adopting the MUE 
zone district to implement the adopted Northwest Area Plan, the Highway 
Area Plan and the Eastside Framework Plan. 
Location: City Urban Growth Boundary (Northwest Area Plan, Highway Area Plan 
and the Eastside Framework Plan) 
Introduction: 
The Urban Area Planning Commission reviewed the proposed Code amendment on 
June 29, 2009, and recommends that the Redmond City Council amend the 
Development Code to help implement the Northwest Area Plan (NAP), the Highway 
Area Plan (HAP) and the Eastside Framework Plan (EFP) by adopting the Mixed Use 
Employment (MUE) Zone. 
Ordinance No. 2009-14 and the proposed amendments do the following: 
1. Amend Article I to create a new zoning district which is the Mixed-Use 
Employment (MUE) Zone and adds a definition for "Public Transportation 
Station", 
2. Amend Article I to add Parking Standards for the MUE zone. 
3. Amend the Subdivision & Partition Article III to add block length standards to the 
MUE zone, 
4. Amend the Site & Design Review Article IV to establish design standards for 
MUE projects, and 
5. Amend the Sign Standards Article V for the MUE zone. 
These amendments are necessary to implement the adopted Area Plans located in the 
Redmond Urban Growth Boundary that follow the guidelines set forth in the Framework 
Plan. The amendments will ensure that when land is annexed and designated on the 
Comprehensive Plan that it will develop according to the policies and standards of the 
NAP, HAP and EFP as expressed in the proposed amendments. It is possible that the 
MUE zone designation could be applied to property within the Redmond City limits.

density residential districts (R-1, R-2, R-3, and R-4), as provided in subsections 1-3, below: 
1. This standard applies to new and vertically expanded buildings and structures in the MUN or 
MUE district that are within [25] feet {as measured horizontally) of an existing single-story 
building in low-density residential (R-1, R-2, R-3, and R-4) districts with a height of [20] feet or

figure below. 
3. Exception: The provisions of subsections 1-2 do not apply when the approval body finds that the 
subject single story buildings located within [25] of the subject site are redevelopable.

that exceeds the assessed market value of all improvements on the lot, based on the most recent 
data from Deschutes County Assessor's Office; or the front yard of the adjacent subject lot is large 
enough that it could be subdivided based on the MUN, MUE or residential district standards.
