I know this is an old thread, but I'm responding to @DJMIXMASTER 's post from a few days ago.
First, check the lot is genuinely recognised by the game as empty: change it to a residential lot, and if the icon you get looks like a house then you need to use the bulldoze tool on it. If the icon looks like an blank rhombus then it's already empty.
Next, change the lot back to a community. If you still can't place the build, try changing the zoning of the lot to 'Visitors Allowed' or 'No Visitors Allowed'. You'd think you'd have to change it to match whatever your build is zoned as, but for some reason that doesn't work for me: it has to be VA or NVA.
The lot type should change to the appropriate zoning (dive bar, park, whatever) automatically when you place your build. If it doesn't, you can do that yourself after placing.
Best of luck.
