One agenda item of interest has to do with Ordinance No. 820, related to residents’ usage of cargo containers, trucks, RVs and other vehicles to store items that may be considered eyesores. According to the agenda packet:
“Some residents are using cargo containers, trucks, recreational vehicles, and other vehicles to store items, including garbage and refuse, in residential neighborhoods resulting in eyesores and potential habitat for vermin and other undesirable things. Such storage is prohibited for cargo containers in residential zones, and Burien should consider extending this prohibition to trucks (including but not limited to box trucks), recreational vehicles, and other vehicles.”
