Draft Existing Conditions and Zoning Limitations Report prepared for the City of Burien’s North of NERA Rezone Project. Documents physical and regulatory constraints shaping future zoning alternatives for the project area located along Burien’s eastern city limits adjacent to City of SeaTac, bounded by Des Moines Memorial Drive, S 128th Street, S 138th Street, and 10th/12th Avenue S. Area is designated industrial in the Burien 2044 Comprehensive Plan to meet a target of 4,770 net new jobs citywide by 2044, but is characterized by established single-family residential neighborhoods contrasting with large-scale industrial development in the Northeast Redevelopment Area (NERA) to the south. Constraints documented include parcel size and configuration, limited public land, roadway access, airport-related land use compatibility requirements, and Critical Aquifer Recharge Areas. Report informs Burien Planning Commission zoning alternatives process; does not propose specific zoning changes.
