The existing building uses in the Lloyd District are mostly commercial retail and office spaces with a small amount of residential, especially along the main streets. Because there are so many people commuting to work in this area, providing an adequate amount of housing could allow for less travel time to and from the offices, as well as connecting citizens to nearby retail, commercial, and restaurant destinations.

There are some major hotels in the area which support the tourist attractions of the Lloyd District and a scattering of small restaurants and coffee shops, mostly consisting of chain businesses. The amount of parking is overwhelming and taking away from a pedestrian oriented building front at street level. There is an obvious need for population density, and these maps begin to show where development needs to happen. The district is also missing a cultural identity that could be expressed through fine dining, art, and other cultural exhibitions rather than the fast food commercial bits that are existing.
