How can you run a small warehouse in a residential street? What about zoning?
- noobermin 5y agoZoning in the netherlands is nowhere as onerous as it is in America.
- everyone 5y agoA big reason the Netherlands is such a great country is that that it's well planned out. They must have a shittone of planning rules and procedure to achieve that. They do promote mixed use development, mixing business and residential. But a warehouse is more industrial, I assume they dont want to mix residential and industrial?

- noobermin 5y agoSure, I guess I don't know whether these qualify as warehouses or shops, I suppose that's the ambiguity the start-ups are trying to exploit.
- kwhitefoot 5y ago> assume they don't want to mix residential and industrial? Why not? Residential buildings and light industry can exist in close proximity without too much trouble as long as everyone behaves properly.
- Ekaros 5y agoI think big issue is that these warehouses and dark kitchens actually take out of the retail space otherwise available, thus making the services to those in immediate vicinity worse.
- Nasrudith 5y agoWouldn't that only hold if they displaced existing actually utilized retail services. A "Viking Hat Tube Attention Grabber" store doesn't contribute to services if nobody actually shops there.
- Nasrudith 5y agoIsn't zoning primarily based upon traffic patterns and emissions as a rationale? A warehouse isn't usually a high traffic area. (Distribution center is the orientation there, implying more throughput and less storage relatively speaking.) Compliance aside the real question should be why are they zoned that way, and should they be? The ancient "kingdoms of land, sea, and air" taxonomy was abandoned for a reason.
