Some ground in Sde Dov is not zoned for one thing. The מסחר, תעסוקה ותיירות class puts commerce, employment and tourism on the same lot, which is how a district gets a building with shops at the bottom, offices above and a hotel next door without three separate planning fights.

This is the flexible ground. For an operator it is also the most negotiable: what a specific unit becomes depends on the design plan for that lot rather than on the zoning alone.

## What the plan fixes

- The commerce class permits retail, employment and tourism uses on the same lot. _(Shavnu masterplan page, 2026-08)_
- About 125,000 sqm of commerce is budgeted district-wide, beside about 330,000 sqm of employment. _(Plan TA/4444 validation sheet, via Shavnu, 2020-03)_

## Good to know

### Zoning is not the design plan

The class sets what is possible; the lot's approved design plan sets what is actually built.

### Ask which floor

On mixed ground, the use often changes by level. Confirm the floor, not just the lot.
