This was included to protect the surrounding residential neighborhoods in the event that a redevelopment proposal for the SE corner is proposed beyond the existing commercial zone. 3) Economic Development, Policy #5 In the event that a portion of the State Fairgrounds property becomes available or an LRT station is located in the proximity of the Snelling and Larpenteur intersection, allow the entire area, but not a portion, of Hollywood Court to be redeveloped with mixed uses as part of the Snelling and Larpenteur retail core. 3 •
