Highline Community Plan: Proposed Area Zoning

This January 1980 King County Division of Planning report proposes new zoning maps for the Highline community, located south of Seattle between I-5 and Puget Sound, to implement the Highline Communities Plan adopted in December 1977. The plan translates land use policies into specific zoning classifications covering topics such as mixed-use development, mobile home development, an Airport Open Use Zone, and landscaping guidelines. It applies only to unincorporated King County areas and was subject to public community meetings and hearings before adoption by the County Council.
