It makes sense if it's something like a loading zone. But 30-40 stalls in the rear are not really more accessible than a parkade and aren't adding a lot to the overall parking.
I don't think it would be proposed or allowed around here, and the city is nicer for it. It's not the end of the world, but it's subpar for an area like that. It looks like a design from 20 years ago or for midrises in a city 1/4 the size or for a semi-suburban area like mixed-use development in Clayton Park.
Consider the walk along Cogswell on the south side. It's maybe 50% streetwall, and 50% roads or parking.
