The Richfield City Council gave preliminary approval Monday night to changes that will pave the way for redevelopment on the corner of 74th and Lyndale Avenue South.
Three lots that make up the southwest corner of the intersection -- 7421 and 7401 Lyndale and 609 74th Street -- would get new land-use designations and zoning as a result.
Woodlawn Terrace mobile home park, Audio Perfection and a house now sit on the properties.
Mark Nichols of Bloomington is proposing to move his business from Bloomington to the 74th Street lot. His company makes electronic music boxes for ice cream trucks.
Nichols said Monday night the business doesn't have walk-in retail traffic because most of its customers are from out of state.
The council will take a final vote on the land-use changes at its Dec. 13 meeting.
