Maximize land use compatibility by requiring buffering, screening and landscaping <br />between new commercial uses and residential areas and, wherever possible, between <br />existing commercial uses and residential uses to minimize conflicts. <br />9.

While both institutions provide most of their own services, much needs to be <br />done to minimize conflict and coordinate public service deliveries. Particular attention <br />needs to be given to transit and sanitary sewer coordination cooperation. <br />It is the current policy of the University to retain ownership of all of its land and that of <br />the State Fair to continue to operate in Falcon Heights. It is the City's intent to encourage <br />both but, recognizing that circumstances change, the City wishes to influence future <br />institutional policy directions to reflect the City's best interests.
