21.13.070 MDD1.
A. Purpose. The purpose of the MDD1 zone is to provide transit-oriented housing and employment adjacent to and integrated with the planned light rail station and parking structure. This zone encourages employment uses closest to the station and also allows upper-story multifamily and ground-floor pedestrian-oriented uses. MDD1 features an active ground plane, accomplished through a well-designed public realm and a range of commercial uses that appeal to commuters, workers and residents alike. Connecting the station and Marymoor Park is critical in this zone. MDD1 allows more intense development than other MDD zones while working within the natural constraints of the land.
The following table is specific to this zone and provides references for each of the major topics that are regulated throughout the code. The individual topics provide function as connection or linkage to the chapters and sections of the Redmond Zoning Code that apply to development within this zone.
