401 S 6th St, Kerman, CA 93630

Rare development opportunity in one of Fresno County's fastest growing communities. This 26,250 square foot corner parcel at W Stanislaus Ave and S 6th St in Kerman is zoned R-3 High Density Multifamily Residential, allowing multi-unit development by right with no conditional use permit or public hearing required. Approval is processed administratively through the City's Site Plan Review process per Kerman Municipal Code Chapter 17.80. The R-3 zone permits densities of 20 to 24 units per acre with a 45 foot height allowance and 50 percent lot coverage per the current zoning code. The City previously granted conditional site plan approval for a 36 unit development on this site in 2021. That approval has since expired and a new application would be required. Per the HUD Opportunity Zones map, this property is located in a census tract identified as OZ Eligible - Rural, meaning the tract qualifies for potential nomination as a Rural Opportunity Zone under the new permanent OZ 2.0 program. California's nomination window is now open and final designations by the U.S. Treasury are expected in late 2026, effective January 1, 2027. If designated, rural Opportunity Zones carry enhanced investor benefits including a 30 percent basis step-up and a reduced 50 percent substantial improvement requirement. Designation is not guaranteed. Kerman continues to attract new commercial investment along the Whitesbridge Ave corridor and housing demand remains strong as the city grows west of Fresno.
