Do your zoning codes allow for mixed-use buildings, in which a shop owner runs her business on the first floor and lives upstairs? Would current codes allow for a vacant home to be turned into a store? Are food trucks permitted in your community? Can people manufacture things within your city’s limits? Buying, renting or renovating a building for a new business can be extremely costly. If your community allows for the creative use of space, diverse income streams, and smaller options than the typical stand-alone store, you’ve lowered the barriers to entry for small business owners.
