21.13.210 Transition Strategy.
A. Purpose. The purpose of the land use transition strategy for the Marymoor Design District is to effect a transition from existing uses to land uses that are consistent with the subarea vision in a way that allows for the continued economic vitality of existing and future manufacturing uses and encourages the reasonable expansion, modification, and re-leasing of existing properties over their useful economic lives. The strategy is more fully described in the Neighborhoods Element of the Redmond Comprehensive Plan.
B. Special notification requirements.
1. Purpose. The purpose of these requirements is to promote awareness among potential new residents of existing and potential manufacturing park and regional park uses when prospective residents are considering purchasing or leasing homes in the Marymoor Design District.
2. Applicability. Notification as described in this section shall be required when a site is developed with residential uses in the Marymoor Design District.
3. Requirements. Property owners shall, as a condition of land use entitlement, record a Notice of Manufacturing Park and Regional Park Uses against applicable properties, and all properties resulting from subdivision of applicable properties. Lessors shall, as part of residential lease disclosures, provide the same notice to prospective lessees prior to finalizing a lease agreement. The notice shall read as follows:
This property is within the Marymoor Design District (MDD), formerly zoned Manufacturing Park and adjacent to a regional park. Activity may occur on or near this property that creates undesirable or detrimental impacts both day and night, including, but not limited to, noise, dust, light, and traffic. Uses on or near such property include various manufacturing, assembly, warehouse, entertainment, recreation and other activities. It is the City of Redmond’s policy to support existing and future manufacturing uses in the MDD as allowed in the Redmond Zoning Code and Redmond Municipal Code, and that the undesirable and/or detrimental impacts described above are allowed up to the legal limit. Nothing in the Redmond Municipal Code or Redmond Zoning Code shall be construed to require that legal existing or future uses abate activities that are consistent with the Municipal Code and Zoning Code.
