The Urbanizing Area Plan is the key policy guide for land use and development in the 36-square-mile area of unincorporated land immediately surrounding the City of Bloomington. This plan serves as a guide for Monroe County Staff, the Plan Commission, Board of Commissioners and other government entities as they assess the character, location, and extent of public investments and private development proposals in the Urbanizing Area. The Plan’s policies
and recommendations will be implemented over time through public and private decisions, such as capital improvements carried out by the County, and zoning or development proposals initiated by property owners and conducted through the public review process.
