"The "live-work" zoning class will allow small-business owners to work at home by putting a shop or office on the ground floor and their living quarters upstairs. Mixed-use zoning will reverse old policies that had discouraged developers from building homes, stores and offices in a single complex. The new multifamily zoning class will allow for high-rises with neighborhood businesses, such as coffeehouses, barbers, florists or laundries, on the ground floor."
