[Talk-GB] Tagging Residential Retail zones

2014-11-19 Thread tony wroblewski 
Hi All

How do people normally go about tagging a landuse area which has both
residential and retail buildings. In many areas buildings often are
both residential and retail, in that the upstairs areas are rented
apartments, and the downstairs is shop. I'm not sure how to go about
correctly tagging the surrounding landuse, but so far I've been doing
it predominately on what the majority of the buildings are, i.e. If
the majority of the buildings and shops then the area is retail, etc.

Yes, mostly I do retail only but that really a lazy answer. Occasionally I have 
created an additional way over the building and labelled it residential but 
really I should add a layer tag to the upper and the lower to make it clear. 
There will be plenty of places where its more convoluted than that. An awful 
lot of main roads in London have shops below residential lets.

Cheers
Andy

Most people seem to tag them as purely retail, but I did once code it as using 
both, with a ; between.

On the other hand, there is a tendency for councils to insist on retail units 
below large blocks of flats, which the developer would have preferred to be all 
housing, so, if you had just one type, the most accurate coding would be 
residential.

The case where I used a ; was only two or three storey, but was part of a 
complete social/affordable estate, and the housing above the shops was clearly 
part of the development as a whole.

 both residential and retail, in that the upstairs areas are rented 
 apartments, and the downstairs is shop. I'm not sure how to go about 
 correctly tagging the surrounding landuse, but so far I've been doing

Like most others, I tag it as retail only. As you point out It's not 
100% accurate, but I see it as more noteworthy - users are more likely 
to want to know where the local shops are rather than the nearest 
residential housing that's sat above retail outlets.
