City of Bloomington, Indiana – Kerry Thomson, Mayor

City Council

2014 Ordinance 14-05

To Amend Title 20 of the Bloomington Municipal Code Entitled “Unified Development Ordinance” (Defining “Standardized Restaurants” and Treating Them as a Conditional Use in the Courthouse Square and University Village Overlay Districts of the Downtown)

2014 Amendment 01 (Adopted)

Amendment 01

This amendment is sponsored by Councilmember Neher and increases the scope of the Plan Commission’s recommended ordinance to include a Conditional Use review process for what are known as “Standardized Businesses.” The proposed amendment regulates not only restaurants, but all commercial businesses that provide standardized products and services. This amendment also modifies the Conditional Use criteria to be utilized by the Board of Zoning Appeals so that the Board’s review focuses on steps a petitioner may pursue to assure that the project visually complements the surrounding area and the particular overlay district rather than on conditions largely beyond their control.
