A. Purpose. The Neighborhood Multifamily zone provides for multifamily residential neighborhoods on lands suitable for residential development. This designation provides for stable and attractive residential neighborhoods which have an urban character and a full range of public services and facilities. To complement the primarily residential nature of these zones and encourage complete neighborhoods, some nonresidential uses are allowed.

D. Special Regulations for Perrigo Creek Area East of Avondale Road.

1. The provisions of this subsection apply to the area shown in Map 8.4.

Map 8.4
Perrigo Creek Area East of Avondale Road

2. Where conflicts between this subsection and other chapters of the Redmond Zoning Code exist, the provision of this subsection shall control.

3. Perrigo Creek carries both natural flow and stormwater as it enters onto this property. As a condition of any development of the area shown in Map 8.4, the applicant is required to reroute and daylight the piped and culverted natural flow of Perrigo Creek that flows southwest from the northwest corner of the mapped area. The stormwater shall continue to flow into the bioswale adjacent to Avondale Road. The applicant has the option to also reroute the farmer’s ditch known as Ditch 1, a designated Type Fs stream. Daylighting and rerouting shall be accomplished in the following manner:

a. Each riparian management zone shall contain native or Northwest adaptive plantings that reinforce the bank structure and provide shade.

b. The design of each riparian management zone shall, to the extent possible within the limited space, mimic naturally occurring riparian corridors with respect to native vegetation, shading, instream large woody debris and the provision of meander spaces. For Ditch 1, this includes plantings and large woody debris that reinforce the bank structure and provide shade. This does not include hard bank engineering solutions.

c. Each riparian management zone shall not contain manmade impervious surface except for vehicular or pedestrian crossings of Perrigo Creek permitted as part of an approved mitigation and restoration plan. Any crossings shall conform to Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife standards for culvert crossings allowing fish passage and shall minimize impacts to the stream corridor.

d. The Perrigo Creek riparian management zone shall be defined as the total corridor encompassing the creek and its buffers on either side. The zone shall measure an average of 15 feet in width and no less than 10 feet in width unless these dimensions are modified based on best available science as part of an approved mitigation and restoration plan.

e. For Perrigo Creek, a 15-foot building setback from the edge of the riparian management zone is required.

f. The Administrator may approve deviations from the standard buffer widths in RZC Chapter 21.64 for the rerouted Ditch 1 if the buffer reduction is part of an approved mitigation and restoration plan that demonstrates ecological lift and the applicant can demonstrate in a critical area study through best available science how the reduced buffer design and restoration of Ditch 1 achieves protection at least equivalent to the treatment of the functions and values of the stream that would be obtained by applying the standard prescriptive measures contained in RZC Chapter 21.64.
