I spend most of my time in Colombia, South America. Although I am not sure how the taxes work, much of what you suggest is basically how the barrios are organized. You simply choose a barrio that suits you. The downside of a busy street is traffic noise. The upside is that you can open a small store in your garage. I don't think they have ever heard of zoning laws. You just choose a neighborhood where the combination of businesses and residences produces a vibe you like. In fact, one of the charms of Colombia is that most people get along most of the time with virtually zero law enforcement.
