As communities throughout Oregon recover from the pandemic, there is an increasing need for addressing parking congestion in downtowns and busy residential areas throughout the state. Further, new planning rules under the Climate Friendly and Equitable Communities (CFEC) program restrict the ability of many jurisdictions to require minimum parking counts for new development.
To help Oregon cities navigate parking-related challenges arising from the CFEC program and the State’s growth generally, Studio Davis is currently working with the Department of Land Conservation and Development on this “instruction book” for how to manage parking. The project includes a significant component of outreach to jurisdictions throughout the state, and ultimately will produce a comprehensive document intended to assist cities in managing parking regardless of their size, resources, and current management.
