HBA Members Work with Gresham to Update Design and Development Review Standards

The City of Gresham is working on several concurrent projects aimed to streamline development code and offer clarity to housing application requirements in the city. The changes are meant to be targeted and update the tree code and stormwater facilities, residential design standards, and public works standards. This project has been an ongoing conversation with builders that the City of Gresham hosts at its monthly development forum meetings. Areas of particular interest are how to encourage more street tree success among the city’s budding middle housing projects, while also ensuring that single-family homes are not being adversely impacted by state-required application standards.
