URGENT UPDATE: The Blaine City Council is calling on residents to voice their opinions on a proposed fitness center by Thumos LLC. A crucial public hearing is set for January 21, 2026, at 7 PM, where community members can directly influence the decision regarding the conditional use permit for the facility located at 1630 91st Avenue NE, #108.
Residents have until noon on January 21 to submit written comments via email at [email protected] or by mail to the Planning Department. This is a vital opportunity for the community to express their views on the proposal that has ignited local interest and concern.
The hearing will take place at the Blaine City Hall Council Chambers, providing a platform for live feedback. For those unable to attend in person, the meeting will be broadcasted on Comcast channel 799 and streamed live on the city’s official website, ensuring everyone can stay informed and engaged. Recorded sessions will also be available for later viewing.
The application from Thumos LLC has prompted discussions around its location in a Light Industrial (I-1) zoning district, necessitating public commentary and transparency. A detailed staff report will be accessible three days prior to the meeting at BlaineMN.gov/Agendas, offering insights into the specifics of the proposal.
Residents requiring special assistance, such as interpretative services, are encouraged to contact Pat Robinson at the Planning Department by January 16 to ensure inclusivity in the process.
This initiative underscores the city’s commitment to civic engagement and transparency in governance. With community voices shaping the future of local developments, the upcoming hearing is not just an event—it’s a chance for residents to impact their environment directly.
As the date approaches, residents are urged to prepare their thoughts and participate in this significant civic moment, reinforcing the importance of community involvement in local decision-making.
