SB 5723 Washington Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Concerning covenants, conditions, and restrictions of an airpark.

SB 5723 clarifies that city-owned property (and code city-owned property) is not bound by airpark land use restrictions that are stricter than the city's current zoning rules. The bill directly affects municipal governments and their property holdings by overriding conflicting airpark covenants with local zoning authority. Key provisions add new sections to state law stating such property must follow the city's zoning ordinance instead of more restrictive airpark rules. This is a procedural clarification, not a new policy, ensuring city-owned land aligns with local zoning standards. The bill is currently in committee review with a scheduled public hearing.
