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 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.
