On the Agenda: Housing Development, Building Heights, Speed Limits

The agenda for tonight's Redmond City Council meeting includes a staff report on a new housing development, a public hearing on a proposed zoning code amendment to increase maximum building height limits, and possible action on an ordinance to revise speed limits on new city streets.

The council will meet at 7:30 p.m. at , 15670 NE 85th St. Residents can also watch the meeting live on RCTV Comcast 21/Frontier 34 or online.

The housing development staff report concerns Shaughnessy Heights, a project located near that will include 64 single-family and duplex homes. Construction on the development is expected to begin in the next few weeks.

A public hearing will also be held to give residents the opportunity to weigh in on an amendement to the comprehensive plan and zoning code that would increase building height limits to six stories in some areas in the city's central area.

The city council is also scheduled to vote on a speed limit ordinance that would apply higher maximum speeds to arterial streets that have recently been annexed into the city limits and are currently operating under a prima facie limit of 25 mph.
