Building sizes

Is it possible to change the building model, including it's size and footprint? I'd like to implement this:

 

Low Wealth § High Density Commerce — I kinda dislike low wealth high density commerce. Those buildings cost too much to be suitable for low wealth shoppers, and real life equivalents that come to mind are large bazaars and indoor/outdoor markets — that could take up 2 building slots just like high density industry. Solution: Make bazaars and be rid of the high-rise §HC. 

High Tech Industry — It would be nice if there was some reasonable return on investment for high tech industry. Medium tech is definitely worth it, both for pollution and profit. But high tech doesn't help all that much more: it is also considerably more sensitive to taxation. So I propose making high tech buildings smaller. Low Density becomes 1/2 the size of medium (little squares), medium density takes the low density building models, and high tech takes the medium density building models. The max density industry could still use the large models.

As you can see a lot of things need to be reworked besides just the model which is the main thing thats really kept me from going balls out on all the resizing - Its just too much work.

    Thanks! Its not clear to me that the lot sizes are changing at all in your images, just the model sizes. I'd need both.

     

    Anyone got details on how to do that?
