Mixed-use properties must contain at least one commercial unit (retail, office etc.) and at least one residential unit. If the primary use at the property is for commercial purposes, the property will fall under our mixed-use Tier 2 guidelines. The mixed-use property type can be classified in any tier depending on the percentage of the multi-family component and the type of commercial use.
Retail buildings are designed for retail sales and display and usually have display or decorative fronts. This retail classification encompasses a wide variety of uses including, but not limited to: markets, convenience stores, drugstores, department stores, big box retailers, barber shops, laundromats, etc.
Surrounding land use may have some effect on the subject property, it is best if the surrounding properties are similar, so that together they present a harmonious and complementary appearance.
