The City of Burien's 2021 Federal Legislative Priorities outline the city's goals for reducing SeaTac Airport noise and emissions, including supporting a regional coalition of elected officials, encouraging the FAA to complete health and environmental studies mandated by the 2018 FAA Reauthorization Act, and backing legislation such as the Aviation Impacted Communities Act. Burien also calls for re-examining the DNL 65 noise standard and increasing funding for airport emission reduction projects. These priorities reflect the city's ongoing efforts to protect residents from the impacts of airport operations while pursuing mitigation funding tied to the Sustainable Airport Master Plan.

This document outlines the City of Burien's 2020 State Legislative Priorities, presented at the Highline Forum on January 22, 2020. It covers six key areas: affordable housing, behavioral health, public safety, climate change, economic development, and transportation. Notable transportation items include pursuing a comprehensive city transportation bill and securing $3 million for the SR 518 westbound on-ramp to Des Moines Memorial Drive.

This appendix compiles four reference guides on the life expectancy of common home building materials and components, including studies from the National Association of Home Builders, Fannie Mae, and the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors. The materials cover expected useful lifespans ranging from 5 to 100 years for items such as roofing, flooring, and mechanical systems. These references are intended to support housing assessments and affordable housing planning decisions.

A 1980 King County ordinance amending the Highline Communities Plan to better accommodate senior housing, recognizing that elderly-focused multifamily housing generates less neighborhood impact than traditional multifamily development and should be evaluated on its own site-specific merits. The ordinance also updates cultural facilities policy to encourage public-private cooperation in developing a performing arts theatre in the Highline Community, including through the possible formation of a Park and Recreation District.

This 1973 preliminary technical report, prepared by the King County Office of Community and Environmental Development, examines community trends and characteristics in the SeaTac Communities Plan Study Area. It covers population and enrollment, housing, and economy and employment data, with a forecasts section noted as still to be written at the time of publication. The report serves as an early planning document providing baseline demographic and economic context for the communities surrounding Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.

This 1971 technical report, prepared by Theodore J. Schultz of Bolt Beranek and Newman Inc. for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), provides the scientific and technical background for noise abatement measures in HUD's housing programs. It supports HUD's guidelines for assessing noise exposure at residential sites, offering detailed evaluation procedures for determining acceptable noise levels near housing developments. The report was originally published in September 1970 and later revised to align with updated HUD noise exposure assessment guidelines.
