Great development/investment opportunity zoned for four units up to 35 feet tall, plus an existing home that is a diamond in the rough just waiting for a remodel. The existing home is in need of some rehabilitation, but is by no means a tear-down; and it has an absolutely *AMAZING* hand-crafted Timberline Lodge-style back deck. Or you can remove the home and build four matching units; either way works. Property entrance is from driveway off of 129th Avenue -- not Burnside.

D
Residential Multi-Dwelling 1 Zone
The RM1 zone is a low-scale multi-dwelling zone that is generally applied in locations intended to provide a transition in scale to single-dwelling residential areas, such as the edges of mixed-use centers and civic corridors, and along or near neighborhood corridors. Allowed housing is characterized by one to three story buildings that relate to the patterns of residential neighborhoods, but at a somewhat larger scale and building coverage than allowed in the single-dwelling zones. The major types of new development will be duplexes, triplexes, rowhouses, courtyard housing, small apartment buildings, and other relatively small-scale multi-dwelling and small-lot housing types that are compatible with the characteristics of Portland's residential neighborhoods.
