Neighbors,

This message is for informational purposes only.

The City of Bloomington Common Council invites all interested
community members to attend the Wednesday, September 10, 2025, 6:30
pm, Council Deliberation Session to participate in an open dialogue
about housing options in Bloomington. This is a discussion session
only—no decisions will be made during this session.

Facilitated conversations with Councilmembers, Planning staff, and
Housing and Neighborhood Development staff will revolve around the
individual experiences of participants, their housing needs and how
their current housing is or is not meeting those needs.

Further conversation will explore local experiences related to housing
types including short-term rentals (ex. Airbnb’s), accessory dwelling
units (ADU’s), and the integration of various housing options into
traditionally single-family home neighborhoods.

The purpose of this session is to share experiences and viewpoints
with policy makers with the end goal of Unified Development Ordinance
(UDO) changes that will benefit the Bloomington housing market by
facilitating creation of attainable housing that meets the needs of
our residents and hopeful residents. All experiences are valued as
part of this conversation, across spectrums of tenant, landlord, or
owner-occupant. Whether you have lived in Bloomington for 50 years or
only moved here last week, your perspective can provide insight into
this discussion.

The Council will hold this session on Wednesday, September 10, 2025
starting at 6:30 pm in City Council Chambers (City Hall, 401 N. Morton
Street). The meeting may also be accessed at the following Zoom link
