Good point, Aguirre. Indeed, the limit could have the perverse effect of reducing both restaurants and retail, if the lack of restaurants makes the area less attractive for retail because of reduced foot traffic.

Given that, we might as well recognize this for what it is, which is a limitation of commercial areas, and zone accordingly to ensure clusters do not develop. Then we can also make sure the zoning laws maintain the obligation to provide parking for every unit so that the residents who now have to drive to go shop and eat will be able to park their cars.
