ADA Parking Striping in Veneta, Oregon: Bringing Your Lot Up to Code

A restripe is the cleanest chance a property owner gets to bring a parking lot into ADA compliance. When the old lines have faded out, the lot is effectively a blank slate — and that is the moment to confirm your accessible spaces actually meet the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design and Oregon's ORS 447.233, instead of simply repainting an old and possibly non-compliant layout.
Veneta sits in the Fern Ridge area at the western edge of the Willamette valley, where dry summers fade paint and heavier-than-average Coast Range winters keep slow-draining lots damp for months. Lots along Highway 126 and the town center wear markings on a predictable seasonal cycle. Each restripe is therefore a recurring opportunity to get the accessible layout right rather than just refreshing the old lines.
This guide covers what a compliant restripe involves. For the statewide framework, start with our ADA parking compliance guide for Oregon.
Bringing a lot up to code through striping comes down to four things: count, dimensions, aisle marking, and signage.
The 2010 Standards require a minimum number of accessible spaces based on total capacity — about one per 25 at smaller sizes (1 for 1 to 25 total, 2 for 26 to 50, 3 for 51 to 75, 4 for 76 to 100), rising from there. A restripe is the right time to recount, because older Veneta lots were often striped before current ratios applied and come up short.
At least one in every six accessible spaces, rounded up, must be van-accessible. Even a small lot with a single accessible space needs that space to be van-accessible. Van spaces need an 8-foot space with an 8-foot aisle, or an 11-foot space with a 5-foot aisle.
Standard accessible spaces are at least 8 feet wide with an adjacent 5-foot access aisle. The full layout must be measured and chalked before paint. Our 2026 ADA striping requirements guide details each dimension.
Each aisle must be striped, usually with diagonal hatching and "NO PARKING" lettering, and may be shared between two adjacent accessible spaces. The full specification is in our ADA access aisle striping spec.
In Veneta, both the paint and the timing affect how long your compliant layout stays compliant. Summer sun fades standard water-based latex paint, and because faded accessible symbols and aisle markings can themselves be cited, durability directly protects compliance. For the accessible portions specifically — the blue space borders, the International Symbol of Accessibility, and the aisle hatching — more durable oil-based traffic paint or thermoplastic is worth the higher up-front cost, holding color far longer. Reflective glass beads improve visibility on dark, wet winter nights.
Timing favors the valley's dry summer. Striping needs dry pavement above 50°F, and Veneta's reliably dry, warm summer gives a window from late spring through early fall. The trade-off is the heavier, longer Coast Range wet season, so schedule accessible restriping for the summer window before the rains return.
A restripe temporarily clears the layout, which is the right moment to fix problems that are expensive to correct on a fully striped lot:
Slope and drainage are the items paint cannot fix. On Veneta's flat Fern Ridge lots, low spots that collect water are a frequent problem; if an accessible space ponds, regrading is required, and a professional layout flags it before paint goes down.
Striping and signage go together. Each accessible space needs a sign with the International Symbol of Accessibility mounted at least 60 inches above grade to the bottom of the sign, a "Van Accessible" plate where required, and Oregon's fine-amount plate. A restripe that refreshes ground markings but leaves signs faded, too low, or missing the Oregon fine plate is only half compliant.
The accessible portion of your lot carries the most liability, so it is the part most worth getting right. Cojo Excavation & Asphalt restripes Veneta and Lane County lots to current ADA layout standards — measuring, verifying counts and dimensions, and applying durable paint.
These standards are general guidance; a site-specific review confirms your exact obligations and is something we recommend before any restripe.
