Creswell Development Code for Lot Coverage and Impervious Surfaces – Residential Districts

This code designates coverage standards for Lot Coverage and Impervious Surfaces. It provides for an allowable lot coverage increase beyond limits described in 2.2.120 when driveway and/or parking surfaces are paved using a City-approved porous/permeable paving surface. Coverage may increase by a ratio of one-half square foot for every one square foot of required parking and/or driveway area that is paved using a City-approved material (i.e. allowing stormwater filtration) or one-half square foot for every one square foot of City-approved water quality treatment area (e.g. vegetative swale or biofiltration) on the development site. Lot coverage bonuses will require approval through site design review.
