Ok, you want to have one way for the whole building. I dont think this
would work.
What differs a full 5 level multi-story parking and a
4 level parking on top of one shop level? Why use rooftop instead of
multi-story?
Where is the border when to use rooftop and when multi-story? Majority
of levels used not for parking?
Suppose a way with the tags:
building=yes
building:levels=5
amenity=parking
parking=rooftop
shop=department_store
How much of the building is the department_store, how much parking?
What about a amenity=school? we cannot reuse the amenity tag on the same
way.
I would suggest two overlapping ways:
building=yes
amenity=parking
parking=multi-story
building:levels=5
building:min_levels=2
layer=1
and
building=retail
building:levels=2
shop=department_store
If we have only the roof used, we could map it as surface with a
min_height and layer.

translucent should be IMO only indoor (aka tunnel) ways.
