I think the planners/those approving the developments want the the ground floor “activated” with businesses/retail. I guess what’s the alternative? Just a foyer or a ground floor apartment?
I think more of the building's common amenities -- gyms, theatres, kitchens etc -- could be located at ground, especially in buildings where there's no special outlook to warrant them being at a higher level. That way you're getting activity and passive surveillance at street level (instead of vacant shopfronts) and extra apartments in the freed space above.
In saying that, I don't have a problem with commercial or retail in this location. The concern should be about its proposed ground level parking.
It's only 8 levels of apartments. Maybe shopfronts with a row of parking behind is more space-efficient than shops on all sides and a driveway to elevated parking. The post doesn't say how many parking spaces are needed or how they are arranged.

A balcony with no balustrade. Designed to ensure it's easy to get rid of drunk party guests? Especially if they try to steady themselves against the pole that isn't there.

The roofline has a different angle to the balcony. It makes the building look a bit leaning tower of Pisa to me in this mock-up.
