  • Share What will the city be doing in order to maximize the amount of homes for the small amount of empty lots in Bloomington? How many will be duplexes, and how many will be townhomes? Especially the lots along Humbolt and Lyndale would be a huge waste if they are built as anything other than townhomes. For these emerging developers, towhhomes should be a top priority, since they should be the gold standard for low-density owner-occupied houses in the Metro Area going forward. on Facebook Share What will the city be doing in order to maximize the amount of homes for the small amount of empty lots in Bloomington?

    The City and HRA have a mutli-faceted approach to increasing the diversity of Bloomington's housing stock. Currently, the Planning Division is studying the missing middle density housing that you are referencing. There will be updates to the zoning code as a result. The City update its single and two family zoning code standards a couple of years ago. This has been a driving force for this program and other projects the HRA has been involved in. An current example is the Habitat for Humanity project on Park Avenue. This lot previously occupied by a single family home will have two single family homes and 2 accessory dwelling units. 

    While it is hard to say exactly how many lots will become duplexes or townhomes the HRA and City of Bloomington are in continual conversation around how and where it is appropriate to increase housing density.

    There are a variety of programs out there. The HRA is partnering with Habitat for Humanity. They would be a good resource to check out for households making under $75,000. Their website can be found here: https://www.habitat.org/housing-help

    Thank you for your interest in the program. We are currently in the beginning stages of the development. In the future we will work with developers to construct the homes and we anticipate they will be responsible for finding qualified buyers. This likely wont be until late 2026 early 2027. We will provide un update on the Lets Talk page on when units are anticipated to be available.

    I believe this is in regards to the St. Marks redevelopment. There are 3 public hearings scheduled for the Land Use Amendment related to changing the land use from Quasi-Public to Low Density Residential. The Planning Commission will hold public hearings on July 24th at 6 PM and August 7th at 6 PM in City Council Chambers. Comments can also be submitted via email at Planning@BloomingtonMN.gov. The City Council will also hold a public hearing on August 25th. Details about those public hearings can be found here: https://www.bloomingtonmn.gov/atty/public-hearing-notices-and-proposed-ordinances 


    This is the first step of many in the redevelopment process. In the near future an additional approval will be necessary for platting the property into single and two-family lots. The final design of the lots has not been completed but check this site soon for future updates.
