The City of Bloomington is opening the floor to public opinion concerning a notable alteration in local zoning ordinances. On January 30, 2024, at 6:00 p.m., the Bloomington Planning Commission is set to hold a public hearing, inviting residents to voice their perspectives on proposed amendments to the RS-1 and R-1A Zoning Districts. The meeting will take place both in person at the Council Chambers within the Bloomington Civic Plaza and electronically through various channels offered by the state's provisions.
Those interested in participating have numerous avenues to do so. To observe the proceedings, residents can attend in person, tune into BTV on Comcast channels 859 or 14, or stream the meeting online at the City's official channels. For individuals wishing to contribute testimony via phone, a specific process has been laid out by the City, involving calling in, entering an access code, and using a "raise your hand" feature to indicate a desire to speak. Voice your opinions or ask questions directly is encouraged but to facilitate a smoother experience, the City requests submission of email or voicemail testimony by noon on the same day of the hearing.
To review the meeting agenda, access materials related to the public hearing, or simply gather more information, interested parties can visit the City's announcement page.
For further queries or to submit your comments in writing, the city has directed residents to reach out to Nick Johnson, Planning Supervisor. He can be contacted at the Bloomington Civic Plaza address, by phone, or via email at [email protected].
