Control over developed building types

[pksohn]

As SEMCOG, I want to be able to control the types of buildings that get developed in a parcel level simulation, so that building types are more predictable in later processes like household allocation.

From email:

Exiting proforma model assigns new development with random building types. For example, for residential development, SF, MF and Condo buildings are randomly assigned to the new constructed buildings. This could cause some problem in later stage of model run if building types are used in the household allocation or other process. Therefore, it would be preferable to have some logical way to assign building types instead of random. At this stage we are not quite sure what the best practice to assign building types and if it is a problem to assign building types based purely on new building characteristics.
