Actually, your town sounds pretty normal and the groupings of buildings seem
to make sense. McDonalds would want to be close to where its customers live
so next door to an apartment would be a bonanza. A gas station near homes
also makes sense (although stations are usually "on the corner"). The bank
could be located in an industrial area but a business district makes a
little more sense. And the flower and gun shops are both businesses so they
naturally would be in a main market area.
For me, although I am building a "modern" town, I am trying to develope a
sense of how the town developed. My main building (currently in the
construction phase) is the town hall (modeled after the main building of my
alma mater). Around the town hall are businesses and older row houses.
Further out, I plan to build more residential areas including a housing
subdivision and a gas station. There will also be a more modern business
district behind the town hall with high rise office buildings and
appartments/condos. I have built in some "zoning" in my plans simply by
considering how the town "developed".
