How does it relate to landuse, how > to building=building-type and established values? Landuse is a different issue. For example, my condo is in a commercial landuse area. Because the condo building includes two levels on commercial space, having residential units within the commercial landuse is acceptable. In fact, it is highly desired by city planners. It also means that I live in an area that has high allowable noise limits since it is zoned commercial. The problem I originally was trying to solve was how do you tag apartments in a multi-use building. If you had one or two retail shops in a apartment building, say a cleaners and video rental shop, the building could be tagged as building=apartment. However, when you get a building with whole floors dedicated to commercial tenants then you need an alternative. The solution Serge suggested works. The apartments, retail and other commercial spaces can easily be tagged. -- Clifford OpenStreetMap: Maps with a human touch
