Edmond Parking Permeable Surfacing Code

The City of Edmond Code of Ordinances § 23.20.050 lists examples of commonly used LID practices include bioretention and infiltration basins such as inverted vegetated islands within parking lots, rain gardens, vegetated rooftops, rain barrels and cisterns, and permeable pavements. The City encourages the use of Low Impact Development and recommends that such practices be incorporated into proposed and existing site development. The science, engineering, methodologies, and technologies associated with LID are continually being developed and updated. For the current Best Management Practices (BMPs) suggested for consideration, refer to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency website, the design criteria and engineering construction standards of other communities, and recent publications by the City of Edmond, trade organizations, and others. Additionally, § 22.6.1 states that all site area used for parking space and aisle purposes shall be paved with a sealed surface pavement or engineered permeable pavement, and maintained in such a manner that no dust shall be produced by continued use.
