LEAD AGENCY: City of SeaTac, Washington
PROPOSAL: City of SeaTac Central Business District (CBD) Subarea Plan and Zoning
Classification
DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL: This proposal involves the preparation of a policy plan and
implementing zoning classification for an area within the City of SeaTac proposed for
redevelopment as the City's Central Business District (CBD). The subarea plan, to be adopted
as an element of the Comprehensive Plan, will analyze land use, transportation, economic,
design, and other environmental elements. The Plan will define a geographic area for the city's
CBD, consider the subarea's redevelopment potential, develop goals and policies, and provide
for an implementation strategy. The CBD zoning classification will identify uses and establish
development standards for the CBD.
PROPONENT: City of SeaTac, Washington
LOCATION OF PROPOSAL: Specific boundaries of the Central Business District will be
determined through the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and the Subarea Plan/Zoning
Classification processes. In addition to the No Action Alternative, the EIS will analyze three
alternatives with differing geographical boundaries. The alternative covering the broadest
geographical area is generally bounded by 176th Street South, 24th Avenue South, 216th Street
South, and 32nd Avenue South. Specific area boundaries of the three alternatives may be
obtained by contacting David Cantey at the City of SeaTac Planning and Community
Development Department.
