799 E Jefferson is a 3.57-acre, fully unimproved parcel zoned E-1 (Employment) at the south end of Ashland, Oregon — a flat, build-ready commercial site at the gateway to the city's primary employment corridor.
The Site. The parcel is level (2–3% grade), free of structures, and carries no environmental cleanup history of record and no CC&Rs encumbering title per the Ticor preliminary report. It sits within FEMA Zone X (minimal flood hazard) and the soil and contour records confirm level, build-ready ground. The lot reads as a long, narrow triangle with frontage on two public streets: 190 feet along E Jefferson Avenue at the north (primary access) and 868 feet along Washington Street on the southwest face, with curb-and-gutter already in place at the Jefferson corner and signage permitted on site. The dual frontage gives a developer room to separate truck movement, customer access, and any residential entrance on a single site.
Utilities & Services. Full City of Ashland services are available: municipal water, sewer, and electric (Ashland Municipal Electric), with natural gas via Avista and high-speed connectivity including Hunter fiber to 2.5 Gbps. The property is inside the urban growth boundary. (Buyers should verify all service connections, capacity, and tap fees directly with the City and applicable providers.)
Zoning & Allowed Uses. E-1 supports the broadest commercial use spectrum permitted anywhere in Ashland — including distribution and warehouse, light manufacturing, assembly and fabrication, retail, professional and medical office, restaurant and food service, health and fitness, and institutional or community uses. Under the City's Residential (R) Overlay, the same parcel also carries residential development of up to 15 dwelling units per acre — approximately 53 mixed-use units across the site — when paired with ground-floor commercial, with standard site review and no special-use permit, density bonus, or income restriction required. Buyers should confirm specific intended uses and development standards with the City of Ashland Community Development Department (reference Ashland Land Use Ordinance §18.2.2.030).
Location & Access. The property sits on Interstate 5 between Portland and San Francisco, in the southwest quadrant of Ashland's employment district. I-5 Exit 14 (OR-66 / Ashland Street) is approximately 1.1 miles north via Jefferson Avenue, Tolman Creek Road, and Ashland Street. Downtown Ashland, Southern Oregon University, and Asante Ashland Community Hospital are all within roughly five to eight minutes; the City of Medford and Rogue Valley International–Medford Airport are reachable in about twenty.
The Corridor. Jefferson Avenue is Ashland's working employment corridor. Within a half-mile of the site is an established cluster of owner-operated manufacturers, distributors, and warehouse/distribution operators, alongside retail anchors including the adjacent 777 Jefferson Goodwill — together employing more than 200 people across multi-decade operations. The corridor draws on a deep regional labor pool of roughly 21,500 in Ashland and more than 220,000 across the Rogue Valley.
