In addition to deliveries and waste handling that Patty cited, the current IDO would consider these "allowed" uses and permit a freestanding sign, 6' tall and 24 sq. feet in area in a residential neighborhood. At a minimum, a use specific standard should prohibit all freestanding signs. Conditional use review and decision criteria should require any signage to comply with Table 5-12-2 standards for R-1 zoning.
While a size limit of 3,000 sq ft is more reasonable than 5,000 sq ft, building footprint is not the only use specific standard that is relevant. Merely adding a use to 4-2-1 and specifying the geography it is allowed to occupy will not prevent significant adverse impacts on the surrounding area or mitigate material adverse effects that will follow including a commercial use in a residential area. At a minimum, any fundamentally different use from the underlying zoning category should only be a conditional use. Otherwise, this effectively changes R-1 to mixed-use.
The logistics of running a profitable general retail or grocery store out of a live-work situation is magical thinking! While there are many examples of 'corner stores' in years past--there was a store and a laundromat off the NW corner of Bandelier Elementary School--expecting that modality to work now is unrealistic.
What is a paired use?
General retail, grocery stores and restaurants typically require deliveries and big trash dumpsters. How does this fit into an R-1 neighborhoood?
So a small general retail use would be permitted to be zero-lot line and cover the entire site?
