• <br />• <br />COMMERCIAL AREAS/BUSINESSES <br />(Page 26 of the Comprehensive Plan) <br />Plan Elements <br />Based on the lack of a vacant land resource and the adequacy of <br />commercial services in the general market area, the City of <br />Falcon Heights does not intend to create additional commercial <br />areas. Instead, it intends to improve and redevelop existing <br />commercial business areas, particularly the Snelling/Larpenteur <br />Commercial Core, in a manner that is in keeping with competitive <br />contemporary retail/service standards of design and quality for a <br />community oriented business district while minimizing impacts on <br />ad' <br />acen <br />t resi <br />denti 1 r <br />a a eas. <br />J ~....I,~ al~fl 't~~....1~~P.n'1" n'~ #-.hF?... rc'~ ~r~ t-n, <br />The Land Use Plan establishes three categories of <br />commercial/business use including the Snelling/Larpenteur <br />Commercial Core, Neighborhood Convenience and Limited Business as <br />follows: <br />Snelling/Larpenteur Commercial Core This embraces all four <br />quadrants of the intersection of Larpenteur and Snelling Avenues <br />where it is the intent of the City to see the core improved as <br />the community's only major commercial/shopping center. It is <br />intended that the core maintain its mixed use character, that it <br />• be substantially upgraded and redeveloped, as appropriate, to <br />An exception may include the expansion of the Prior Avenue <br />Limited Business area westerly to Cleveland Avenue should the <br />University choose to divest itself of these agricultural lands. <br />This would provide for an additional 20 acres of limited <br />commercial development. <br />
