Small Retail or Office Building The Small Retail/Office Building is a commercial building that is generally located at street intersections or as transitions between higher intensity commercial uses and lower intensity residential uses. The ground floor space can be used for office, personal service or retail uses. It is especially appropriate for incubating neighborhood-serving retail and service uses and allowing some adjoining streets and multi-modal corridors to expand as the market demands. Stacked Flats Stacked flats building type is a medium-sized structure that consists of less than 12 side-by-side and/or stacked dwelling units, typically with one shared entry. This type of building can include a courtyard apartment. This residential building type is appropriately-scaled to fit within medium-density neighborhoods or as transitions between neighborhoods and commercial corridors. It enables appropriately-scaled, well-designed infill residential and is important for providing a broad choice of housing types and promoting walkability.
