Montavilla, located between Mount Tabor and Gateway, is a residential and commercial Portland neighborhood with a walkable main street and a classic streetcar-era grid. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around SE Stark Street near SE 80th Avenue, where taverns, coffee counters, vintage shops, and small galleries keep the sidewalks active. Montavilla Brew Works, Academy Theater, and Bipartisan Cafe act as local pillars for pints, films, and late-night pie. Early-20th-century bungalows and cottages mix with brick storefronts and newer infill along the arterials. Tree-lined blocks lead to pocket parks and community gardens, while the nearby MAX line adds a steady transit rhythm. The annual Montavilla Street Fair turns Stark into a pedestrian promenade of makers and music.

The Commercial/Mixed Use 2 (CM2) zone is a medium scale zone intended for sites in a variety of centers, along corridors, and in other mixed use areas that have frequent transit service. The zone allows a wide range and mix of commercial and residential uses, as well as employment uses that have limited off-site impacts. Buildings in this zone will generally be up to four stories tall unless height and floor area bonuses are used, or plan district provisions specify other height limits. Development is intended to be pedestrian-oriented, provide a strong relationship between buildings and sidewalks, and complement the scale of surrounding residentially zoned areas.
