21.14.040 Manufacturing Park.
A. Purpose. The purpose of the Manufacturing Park (MP) zone is to provide locations for existing and future manufacturing and industrial uses, particularly those that require significant areas for storage of materials and equipment (both indoors and outdoors), and that are better suited for locations outside of Downtown and Overlake due to site requirements, noise impacts, transportation needs, or other considerations. The intent of the Manufacturing Park zone is to allow manufacturing, research and development, light industry, wholesale, assembly and distribution businesses, and essential public facilities. Office and other secondary uses are limited to those that support these primary uses. Other uses such as day care centers, retail vehicle fuel sales, and technical colleges may be considered. Residential uses, except for secure community transition facilities, are not allowed. A broader range of commercial uses are allowed within the Manufacturing Park Overlay in SE Redmond as shown on Map 14.1, Manufacturing Park Overlay.
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.
