Parking and loading for residential uses should be obviously separated from delivery parking and loading. Mechanical systems, entrances, hours of operation, and lighting must be designed to reduce impact on tenants in noise, vibration, odor, etc. Separation of waste and recycling facilities and waste pickup on site between residential and commercial uses. If a single waste and recycling center is provided, it should be in the commercial area of the project in order to screen the noise and smell of waste collection activities from residents.

The project should show that careful thought has been given to appropriate segregation of commercial and residential utilities. The appropriate level of utility segregation is left to the discretion of the mechanical designer, including the following:
� Improved insulation between uses in demising walls. � Separate residential and commercial metering for all utilities. � Proper separation of commercial and residential drain, waste, HVAC, and vent systems.. For instance, residential drains should not be subject to flow through any possible obstructions from commercial uses, such as sand traps, grease traps, etc. Food service and toilet fan exhausts from commercial uses should be separated from residential exhausts and entail deliberate noise and odor reducing practices.
