What are the CFEC Rules? 

The state passed new Climate-Friendly and Equitable Community (CFEC) rules to help reduce climate pollution, especially from transportation. The new rules require cities over 10,000 to reform parking standards, plan for mixed use “climate-friendly” areas where residents, workers, and visitors can meet most of their daily needs by walking, bicycling or riding transit, and create more equitable and accessible communities, especially for those traditionally underserved and who experience discrimination.

What does this mean for Central Point? 

Parking Reform – Starting January 1, 2023, less parking will be required for several uses and within a half mile of a bus line. More reform will occur on or before June 30. There is a summary of the January 1st parking reforms in the supporting documents below, as well as a presentation provided to City Council, Planning Commission the Citizen's Advisory Commitee on the overall scope of reforms. 

Climate Friendly Areas (CFAs) – Over the next year potential locations for CFAs will be identified and evaluated with community input. In 2024, the city will determine what amendments to the development code and zoning maps may be needed to comply with the rules to establish new CFAs.
