The City has set design standards and other regulations to make it easier for you to develop multifamily housing in Salem. Adopted in March 2020, the changes:

  • Provide greater flexibility in how multifamily design standards can be met
  • Reduce the number of design standards for small multifamily housing projects
  • Simplify the regulations for three and four-unit projects
  • Reduce parking requirements for multifamily projects of all sizes

The changes are based on input from local officials and the public, including neighborhood association representatives, developers, and others. Outreach included focus groups, a survey, and public meetings.
