A medical office lot carries patients who may be in pain, elderly, on crutches, or arriving for a same-day appointment. It also serves providers and staff who park all day, lab couriers who come and go, and in many cases several tenants sharing one building. As a regional hub near the Idaho border, Ontario draws patients from across the Treasure Valley, so its medical lots can stay busy. Striping has to balance all of that so a patient never circles a full lot looking for a spot near the door while staff cars sit in the front row.
Medical plazas near SW 4th Avenue and East Idaho Avenue, off the I-84 Exit 376 interchange, operate in a high-desert climate where hot, dry summers cure paint quickly and winter freeze cracks the surface. This guide covers how to lay out a Malheur County medical lot and what the striping typically costs.
Patient appointments cycle through the day, so patient parking needs to be obvious and close to the entrance. Clearly striped standard stalls near the door keep the flow moving. In a busy plaza, an efficient layout that maximizes patient count near the entrance is worth the planning.
Medical lots carry a higher share of patients who need accessible parking. The ADA spaces should sit right at the clinic entrance with an unobstructed painted path of travel, sized and signed to ADA standards. Wheelchair-van loading needs the extra access-aisle width that compliant van spaces require.
Providers and staff park for full shifts, so their stalls belong at the rear or side, away from the patient entrance. A clearly striped staff zone keeps the prime spots open for the patients cycling through.
Lab couriers make quick stops, so a short-stay painted zone near the entrance keeps them from taking a patient stall. In a multi-tenant medical plaza, directional wayfinding arrows guide patients to the correct suite entrance, cutting down on confusion and wrong turns.
Industry baseline ranges shown below. Actual costs vary and may be significantly higher based on surface condition, paint type, layout complexity, and current market conditions.
| Service | Industry Baseline Range |
|---|---|
| Per-space restripe (existing layout) | $3–$6 per space |
| 100-space restripe | $550–$1,000 |
| New layout striping (100 spaces) | $900–$1,500 |
| ADA-compliant space (complete) | $200–$350 |
| ADA van access aisle | $75–$150 each |
| Directional arrows (each) | $25–$50 |
Bringing a medical lot into full ADA compliance, with the right number of accessible spaces, correct dimensions, van access aisles, and signage, is often the most significant cost component. A plaza with an outdated layout may need reconfiguration rather than a simple restripe.
Treasure Valley freeze and steady traffic crack and degrade asphalt. A lot needing crack fill, oil-spot treatment, or old-paint removal before striping costs more than a clean restripe.
A single-tenant office stripes simply. A multi-tenant plaza with several suite entrances, wayfinding arrows, and separate patient and staff zones has far more markings and labor.
Striping season runs late spring through early fall with dry weather and temperatures above 50 degrees. Medical lots can usually be striped in phases to keep patient access open while sections cure.
