Summary

Portland legalized up to six-units with no mandatory parking on most formerly single family lots citywide. There are no parking requirements in the central city for any use. Multi-family residential, citywide, is effectively exempt from parking mandates (if the project participates in a mandatory inclusionary affordable housing program or is 30 or fewer units near transit). All non-residential uses are exempt within 500 feet of frequent transit or 1000 1/4 mile of a transit station (this covers nearly all commercial zones in the city). Most uses have parking maximums and the maximums in the Downtown are fairly restrictive.
