the strict separation of uses–everything in its own corner–is also antithetical to mixed use development. Usually, one wants to grab a coffee or the dry cleaning on the way in- or out- of the station. Or you want to be able to walk downstairs (not across a large parking lot) to get a sandwich or meet someone for lunch. Ditto for residences–it’s nice to have the corner store commute (or the office commute) be by elevator…not having to walk first to the corner with the coffee/drycleaner, etc, then to the office…..
