2024 Docket Process

The docket process is a procedure for receiving and evaluating proposals to amend the Comprehensive Plan and development regulations. While SeaTac generally opens the Comprehensive Plan to amendments biennially, in odd-numbered years, the schedule for the 2024 amendment process will align with the Envision SeaTac 2044: Comprehensive Plan Update Project, which started in 2023, and will be completed by year-end 2024.

The 2024 docket process is intended to allow individuals or entities to propose changes to the Comprehensive Plan or City development regulations so they can be considered in conjunction with the policy and development code topics that will be raised as part of the larger Envision SeaTac 2044 project. 

Final Docket of Proposals for Consideration in 2024

On January 23, 2024, City Council established the Final Docket of Comprehensive Plan and development regulation amendment proposals to be further analyzed as part of the Envision SeaTac 2044 major Comprehensive Plan update and process. Council adopted a resolution approving the Final Docket after reviewing the Preliminary Docket proposals submitted by the City and public and considering the staff evaluation and PED Committee recommendation on proposed amendments to include on the Final Docket.

The Final Docket includes the following proposals. 
All proposals from the Preliminary Docket were included in the Final Docket. (To see the staff evaluation report on the preliminary docket proposals click here.)
