I don't have a problem with any of it. What I have a problem with is aliens taking over our brains. That said, my point was that it's not a 'mixed' use - it is two SEPARATE uses for two separate improvements, which involves two SEPARATE H&BU analyses, no? (as opposed to a mixed use, which is a single improvement with multiple uses - and is still ONE H&BU analysis - namely that the (one) improvement has a H&BU of multiple uses, as verified by legal constraints (including ONE zoning), physical constraints, etc.) In which case, it IS more challenging than one H&BU Analysis. Think of it this way - which is more challenging, building one home, or building two homes? I didn't say I couldn't do it, nor did I say I don't have the mental capacity to wrap my brain around what would be involved. I said that (a) it's not a mixed use - it is two separate uses, and (b) H&BU analysis IS more challenging. I just don't see why you and George think that means I don't know what I'm doing?
Regarding overlays, I don't see it as the same issue. With an overlay, you're still doing a H&BU analysis on ONE improvement, which is legally constrained, not only by the base zoning, but by the overlay as well. Again - the discussion here is about two SEPARATE uses...
