Bloomington’s
Development Review
Process
Speed of Process
   Process has always been fast
   In 1990s, Plan Commission meetings
    3 weeks apart. In spring, sometimes 2
    weeks apart.
   1990s – Typical processing time for
    zoned development – 30-40 days;
    rezoning – 90-120 days
Predictability of Process
   1980s/early 1990s – process
    extremely unpredictable
    – Environmental Commission
    – Outdated ordinance/comprehensive plan
    – Staff overwhelmed; didn’t coordinate with
      other departments
    – Result: Large number of rezoning cases
      for suburban residential development;
      industrial/commercial upzones
Steps to become more
predictable
   1991 comprehensive plan
   1993 Environmental Review Coordinator
   1995 zoning ordinance
    –   Plat Committee for subdivisions
    –   Hearing Officer for simple variances
    –   Overlay zoning for density instead of PUDs
    –   Staff delegation for PUD final plans
   1998 – Overhauled Development Review
    Process – hired consultant
1998 Changes
   Development Review Committee
   Development Review Schedule
    – 40 days for zoned property
    – Plan Commission meetings 4-5 weeks
      apart
    – Rezoning cases – 120 days
2002 Comprehensive
Plan/2007 UDO
   Architectural standards for downtown development
    (no design review committee)
   Plan Commission review limited to:
    –   Downtown
    –   Large residential; nonresidential site plans
    –   Projects near SR3
    –   Use Variance recommendations; rezonings
   Council – Right-of-way vacations; rezoning; PUDs
   Most code deviations handled by Plan
    Commission/BZA
How Bloomington’s process
became more predictable
   Objectively evaluated development review
    process – DRC
   Limited interest group involvement
    (environmental, bike/ped, historic)
   Updated codes/comprehensive plan
   Extremely experienced development review
    staff
   Just say ‘No’ to bad discretionary
    development proposals
Form-Based Zoning
Code
   Bloomington doesn’t have one; downtown
    development code is essentially form-based
   Many core neighborhoods have been placed into
    Conservation Districts with form-based guidelines
    for construction
   Will be discussing form-based code with
    comprehensive plan update
   Will likely be Bloomington’s next zoning code
   Doesn’t solve development review process
    challenges
