Oh, I didn't even notice the big area to the north. I was talking about 
the small commercial lot off 48th. Since the two large areas do in fact 
share parking with absolutely no separation, it's probably best to treat 
them as one parcel and use the more prominent landuse value (or should 
it be commercial by default, since retail is a subset of commercial?). 
Then you can indicate the actual uses of each building (which may be 
mixed; an office building might have a cafe on the first floor).

(By the way, the commercial parking to the north still goes slightly 
into the retail area. Maybe Mapnik calculates the area and draws from 
biggest to smallest?)

An area (parking lot, pedestrian, whatever) should only be one piece if 
it's all connected. Since you can't enter the retail parking lot and get 
to the small south commercial parking, they should be two separate 
areas, close *but not touching*.
