MIXED USE

     Sensi-Density advocates the creation and implementation of a mixed use zoning designation.The objective of the mixed use zoning designation is to encourage the compatible mix of commercial and residential uses.Currently the zoning ordinances seek to separate industrial and residential functions. With the implementation of this strategy, commercial areas will be unable to have only a single function - they will have to have a residential component. Where most commercial areas become desolate after the shops close, mixed use areas have a 24 hour vitality due to their residential component in which people are able to participate in a diverse range of activities.

Single story single use building

Potential Multi-functional structure

     A single storey, single function building can be transformed to a multi-storey, multi-use building that will contribute to the vitality of the community.
