The purpose of the Marymoor Design District (MDD) is to implement policy calling for a walkable subarea that develops in a way that leverages investment in light rail and supports Bear Creek, Lake Sammamish, Redmond’s drinking water aquifer, and other natural features. Shallow groundwater and lack of a stormwater outfall mean that stormwater must be infiltrated in this area. Regulations are intended to allow developers to work within the natural constraints of the land. The MDD includes opportunities for living, employment, community gathering, education, and small-scale shopping, all enhanced by proximity to Marymoor Park. Regulations for this design district support business growth and adaptation, allow some general retail and service uses while encouraging the location and growth of businesses in primary industries, and take advantage of the planned light rail station for transit-oriented housing and employment. The Marymoor Design District comprises five performance areas called MDD1, MDD2, MDD3, MDD4 and MDD5. (Ord. 2883)
