<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">The nonprofit land trust filed a site plan with the city of Bend this week for 21221 SE Hurita Place, a half-acre lot east of SE 27th Street. The 1,100 square-foot homes will
be built under the city’s cottage code, which allows small, single-family houses to be clustered together. The affordability of the homes hinges on Kor’s ground-lease business model, which has become more popular in Central Oregon over the past decade.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
