Agenda Bill Title
Adoption of Ordinance No. 752, Legacy Storefronts Zoning Code Amendment
Summary
The intent of this Zoning Code amendment is to allow small historic storefronts located in residential zones to legally operate under limited circumstances. While these businesses were legal under past codes, current residential zoning prohibits new or re-established retail uses. The provisions would
enable productive use of structures that are part of Burien’s historic fabric to operate in a manner
that is roughly consistent with home occupancy businesses. Following the January 25, 2021 meeting, a couple of changes were made to the Ordinance. Those changes are included in the attached version.
