Sullivan's Gulch, located between the Lloyd District and Hollywood, is a rail-corridor and hillside Portland neighborhood with a sunken freeway trench and pockety residential streets. The neighborhood’s energy concentrates around NE Broadway & NE 28th Ave, where sidewalk patios, indie boutiques, and late-night bites cluster under a steady stream of foot traffic. The Zipper anchors the area with a food hall feel, while The Hollywood Theatre and Laurelhurst Theater keep marquee lights on after dark. Early-20th-century bungalows and small apartment courts line the slopes above I-84. Bike routes and frequent transit stitch together parks, cafes, and corner markets. The gulch itself reads as a dramatic cut through the grid, shaping sound, views, and movement.

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.
