I think we will need to wait and see how community type objects can be used on the residential rental lots. I don't think we'll be able to run restaurants and such, but maybe a sort of community kitchen may work. On the plus side, you could make lots of money selling food on the lot if the apartments don't have any kitchens. So far I have started building an apartment complex on the large empty lot in Del Sol Valley and I plan to include shared amenities like a pool, gym, laundry room, a dance studio and an arts and crafts and play room. There will also be a shared roof terrace.
I already have combined lots like suggested above, a mix of community and residential do work in most cases, for the active visitors. The kind of lots where the point would be a crowd of NPCs would not work. And, those objects will not attract NPCs at all because the lot is not tagged accordingly.
I have a few cc items that allow my sim to purchase stuff like magazines, perfumes, cakes, food etc on any lot, even at home. So they will help creating a store on a residential rental lot, I think. As long as my sims are allowed to visit that lot, they can also spend time at the ground level community lot. But yes, we'll soon know a bit more.
