To me, there are 2 basic types of mixed use buildings. mixed_use_urban And mixed_use_house There are so many different combinations of retail, residential, hotel, and commercial (and in come cases, attraction) That as long as there is some kind of residential space (apartments/condos), then it would be mixed_use_urban. This is especially true if the public facing part (the bottom floor or the side towards the street) are non-residential use (a business/shop/not parking). The second kind is very rare to see in America, but Japan is covered with them - half-n-half houses: a mixed_use_home. A house where a room or section of the ground floor is a business, and is accessible from the house side, as there is a Japanese-style house entrance (with the raised floor and slippers) for the owner to go between the business and their private residence. This is not an adjoining building, but a private residence with a small business inside. My dry-cleaning shop, most beauty salons/barbers, my favorite cafe, my physical therapist, most tobacco shops, and other small, family owned and operated businesses can be operated out of a home in the middle of a residential area or along a road that cuts through an area (so many barbers!) or along a busy road - but are usually not found along side the bigger mixed-use-urban buildings. The homes are standard 2 story houses, and the business usually takes up 1/2 of the bottom. As these are so different from the multi-floor urban-mixed 3-25 story apartment buildings with shops, where the tenants are separate (the people living there are not the operator of the shop downstairs, nor do they share access between them). So i suggest those two building types to denote these two basic types of mixed use.
