    Draft Existing Conditions and Zoning Limitations Report: North of NERA Rezone Project

    The City of Burien is studying whether to rezone a residential neighborhood along its eastern border with SeaTac for industrial or employment uses, as required by the Burien 2044 Comprehensive Plan. The area's small single-family parcels, limited road access, and proximity to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport — including airport-related land use compatibility requirements — constrain what kinds of development are realistically possible. This draft report documents those physical and regulatory limitations to guide future zoning decisions that balance job-growth targets with the neighborhood's existing character.

As the source for federal transportation grants, the Puget Sound Regional Council was charged with developing a system to meet the growing need for commercial aviation. When the search for a second airport failed, they authorized the Port of Seattle to build the Third Runway, with a mandate to develop a noise abatement and mitigation program. In their effort to stop the Third Runway, the ACC argued over every detail of the Port's efforts--including property buyouts and sound insulation. The dispute was meant to be settled by a three member Expert Arbitration Panel. This is their final report. It finds 2-1, that the Port's program was insufficient in several respects. Despite that, funding for the Third Runway was approved by the PSRC, and the 'Port Package' program, proceeded largely unchanged. Expert Arbitration Panel's final decision finding that the Port of Seattle had not shown sufficient reduction in real on-the-ground noise impacts to satisfy noise reduction conditions required for approval of a third runway at Sea-Tac International Airport. The majority decision concluded the Port's noise abatement programs were insufficient despite being impressive in scope.
