Multnomah Village, located between Hillsdale and Garden Home, is a walkable and village-like Portland neighborhood with a compact main street and a wooded, creekside backdrop. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around SW Multnomah Blvd and SW 35th Ave, where bookshops, bakeries, pubs, and small galleries line the sidewalks. Landmark architecture leans Craftsman and mid-century, with tidy bungalows and low-slung ranch homes on leafy blocks. Village Books anchors the literary streak, while the Multnomah Arts Center adds studios, classes, and performances. Gabriel Park’s trails and fields shape daily routines, and nearby Tryon Creek State Natural Area brings a forested edge to the grid.

The RM2 zone is a medium-scale multi-dwelling zone that is generally applied in and around a variety of centers and corridors that are well-served by transit. Allowed housing is characterized by buildings of up to three or four stories with a higher percentage of building coverage than in the RM1 zone, while still providing opportunities for landscaping and outdoor spaces that integrate with residential neighborhood characteristics. The major types of new housing development will be a diverse range of multi-dwelling structures and other compact housing that contribute to the intended urban scale of centers and corridors, while providing transitions in scale and characteristics to lower-scale residential neighborhoods.
