21.67.040 Techniques and Incentives for Development

21.67.040 Techniques and Incentives for Development.

Techniques and Incentives Tables. The tables below summarize the sustainable development techniques for which points are awarded and the incentives toward which points may be used based on the type of development proposed. Sections RZC 21.67.050, Techniques Explained, and RZC 21.67.060, Incentives Explained, explain the techniques and incentives. Definitions and descriptions of on-site natural stormwater management techniques within Table 21.67.040A can be found in the most recently adopted edition of the Redmond Stormwater Technical Notebook or its successor document.

TABLE NOTES: * Where permitted in the underlying zone and shall be permitted without the purchase of TDR’s (see RZC 21.67.050, Techniques Explained) Note: Stormwater infrastructure requirements are based in part on impervious area. Use of the methods in the Techniques Table above is likely to reduce infrastructure costs, an additional incentive.
