 Density and Clustering. Commercial centers
should be medium- to high-density, with multi-
story buildings. Densities of 50 employees or
more per gross acre are desirable. As much
as possible the ground floor of buildings
should have activities and services that
involve frequent public interaction (such as
retail, professional services, civic offices, etc.),
with office or residential activities above,
which creates an attractive street
environment while accommodating dense
employment.
 Diversity. Centers contain a diverse mix of
office and retail space, banks and law
offices, public institutions (such as city hall,
courthouses, and other government
offices), entertainment and arts activities,
and other suitable industries. Increasingly,
commercial centers also have residential
buildings, either within or nearby.
