Cedarhurst Neighbors Raise Alarm Over Rezoning, Urge City to Reconsider Plan | Letter to Editor

Cedarhurst residents are opposing Burien’s plan to rezone their neighborhood from Residential to Industrial as part of the city’s North of NERA project. Homeowners worry that even under “legally nonconforming” status, they’d lose property rights—including the ability to expand homes, rebuild after damage, or refinance—effectively phasing out single-family residences over time. A neighborhood meeting was held April 29 to organize opposition.
