I’m not sure people who make suggestions around the use of real estate consider just how little freedom they are implicitly saying property owners should have. Remember, all the best parts of the city were built pre-zoning.
Based on that the project was approved with ground floor retail in it?
Generally the mixed zoning does not require any particular mix, and all-residential is also OK.
The only question is whether they got concessions from the city based on the presence of retail. But, in this case, I think they have been building within the zoning regulations, and there were no additional changes sought from council.
