On a 5-4 vote, Amendment 5A passes, making ADUs allowable only as a conditional use. Voting in favor: Hoffmann, Sandberg, Cate, Kinzie, St. John.
On a 8-1 vote (Susan Sandberg voting against), Plan Commission approves amendment 5B, allowing by-right ADUs w/ up to 2 bedrooms and a maximum 840 square foot size. That cap was added during the meeting. Commissioners are now discussing an amendment making ADUs a conditional use.

Overflow crowd at @citybloomington city hall for the UDO (new zoning code) public hearing. Hard stop at 9:30 p.m. but there are two other hearings scheduled — Aug. 29 and Sept. 5 — if you can’t get a spot tonight.

At last night's @citybloomington Redevelopment Commission meeting, the project manager for the 4th St. garage said they're exploring a metal "wrap" as the public art component. My curiosity led me down the Google rabbit hole and eventually to this: cntraveler.com/galleries/201…
Bottled water at the Uptown until they get the all clear from @citybloomington to use tap water again. Work continues on the water main break at Kirkwood and Washington. bsquarebeacon.com/2019/07/21…
Dave acquired a “grabber-claw device” to do the #TrashTagChallenge. I use it to pet our cat.

Took a little road trip and ended up at Salt Creek Brewery near Bedford. Enjoying a “Bradweiser” (that’s Brad in the hat) while awaiting a pork tenderloin with tator tots. Life is good.
