Being pessimistic here but I foresee a slippery slope in creating a legally habitable space: drywall and sprinkler systems for the first floor commercial-use area, several staircases, headroom code with knee walls taking up half the floorplan, water and electric services, etc..
I'd think it would be less headache to build a small insulated office on the first floor, and leave the overhead for storage.
