21.42.050 Unidentified Public Views.
A. Criteria. Should additional views be identified through situations, such as annexation, creation of a view due to development/redevelopment, or during a public planning process, the following criteria will be used to adopt a public view corridor that would warrant protection:
1. The feature being viewed is strongly associated with the identity of the City of Redmond. An example is the Sammamish River.
2. The view is from a public space that is readily accessible to most of the public, such as from a public park.
3. The view will remain for an extended period and existing landscaping, pruned properly, or native vegetation will not obscure it in the future.
4. There is a reasonable means of protecting such a view.
5. The feature being viewed, or a significant portion of it in the case of lakes, rivers or mountain ranges, is able to be seen clearly.
B. Process. The addition of a new view corridor shall require a Zoning Code amendment.
