Virtually every city faces the problem of vacant storefronts that discourage neighborhood reinvestment. This valuable how-to guide provides ideas and design solutions for converting surplus commercial storefront space to residential uses. It identifies five common types of commercial buildings, discusses the pros and cons of converting each type to housing, and examines issues such as privacy, security, zoning, and historic preservation. Rich with photos, this report also includes sample drawings that guide you through the reinvention of the building's interior space. Before and after photos provide dramatic proof that these ideas can be highly successful in improving communities, providing housing, and preserving the best of the past. Includes five well-illustrated case studies.

As the reproduction cost of housing has increased, consumers have made intensive use of existing dwellings. Conversions of the housing stock have regained prominence as a source of supply. This book introduces the accessory apartment and assesses its potential as an emerging resource for meeting local and national housing needs. Although accessory apartments help meet some of the nation's housing needs, they are not entirely without problems. Some of these are environmental problems, such as physical alterations that are out of character with the design and appearance of surrounding structures, while other problems are cultural and ideological. The accessory apartment in a single-family house deviates from the image of housing, family, and neighborhood that prevails in American culture. It symbolizes a change in the way the single-family house is used and the kinds of people who live in it. These changes clash with the traditional meanings attached to the categories of residential zoning. Martin Gellen evaluates and answers the following questions throughout the text: How do we live with accessory apartments? Control their number? Ensure their soundness?--and maintain neighborhood standards? He focuses on the physical planning problems of conversions and examines the zoning issues they raise. This includes a realistic appraisal of the purposes of density and occupancy controls in exclusive single-family districts. The author provides new methods for regulation of density and occupancy which permit more flexible use of single-family housing to meet the housing needs of a more diverse population. Whether in an aging suburb or new tract, the accessory apartment is a current challenge. This book provides a clear headed approach toward a popular trend in the ever changing housing industry.
