Oregon Parking Lot Design Code Updates
Case Study & Cost Comparison
In 2022, the State of Oregon adopted new Climate-Friendly and Equitable Communities (CFEC) rules for land use and transportation planning. The rules require cities and counties to update their zoning codes to include additional standards for development, with implementation phased for jurisdictions over time. These will include requirements aimed at reducing the heat island effect of vehicle parking.
This case study, developed in partnership with Perlo Construction, details a cost comparison for the three typical options under CFEC using the Gresham Vista Business Park (GV5) project by Specht Development.
