City of Portland Amends Frontage Improvement and Dedication Requirements

On April 12th, the City of Portland’s Bureau of Transportation released new administrative rules which guide thresholds for how frontage improvements and dedication requirements are approved. This new administrative rule, TRN-1.30, describes the two thresholds used by PBOT to determine when frontage improvements or right-of-way dedication are required, including how each threshold is calculated, what’s required when the thresholds are met, and exemptions. According to the city, this new rule “largely reflects current practice, with some updates including to better align with the city’s Transportation System Development Charge program and to reflect recent policies including middle housing”.
