The City of Bloomington is planning two meetings for different stakeholder groups to gather feedback for an analysis of properties zoned R-3B, High Density Multifamily Zoning District, and located adjacent to Downtown. Houseal Lavigne Associates, the firm that recently assisted the City with major revisions to its zoning ordinance, will be onsite to conduct the meetings:
Focus Group for Regeneration Stakeholders (Westside)

12-1:30 pm
Mid Central Community Action
Large Conference Room
1301 W. Washington St.
Bloomington, IL 61701
Located along the Gold Bus Transit line
Focus Group for Preservation Stakeholders (Eastside)
Tuesday, July 23
3-4:30 pm
Bloomington Public Library
Community Room
205 E. Olive St.
Bloomington, IL 61701
A short walk from the Purple Transit stops and the Downtown Front Street Transfer Center
This analysis stems from resident questions and concerns expressed during the March 11, 2019 adoption of the City’s zoning ordinance. The R-3B zoning district allows for a density of up to 70 dwelling units per acre as well as a variety of housing types, including single-family homes, townhomes, duplexes, and apartments. The district also allows some retail and service uses like a pharmacy, salon, or laundry mat with a special use permit. The gathering of feedback is the first part of a multistep process to access the regulations, which is anticipated to last the next several months.
