Focus on land use The City of Bloomington is updating its comprehensive plan, a guide to regulate development and redevelopment, coordinate infrastructure improvements and meet housing and community service needs. An important component of the Comprehensive Plan 2000 is the Land Use Element. Forecasts future household, population and employment levels. Designates the land uses allowed in each part of the city. Identifies strategies to guide redevelopment and land use decisions.
Future land use directions Significant market pressure for redevelopment exists within Bloomington.
The Land Use section of the Comprehensive Plan will set guidelines for that redevelopment so that it occurs in a manner that complements existing development and avoids overtaxing the public infrastructure. Promote continued economic development for the City and the region. Mitigate existing land use conflicts and avoid future land use conflicts. Preserve sensitive environmental areas. The Land Use section of Bloomington's revised Comprehensive Plan will be discussed later this year at public hearings before the Planning Commission and City Council.
