Bloomington, Minn., Code of Ordinances § 9 § 9.07
ON-SITE (Bloomington Housing Opportunity and Preservation Ordinance)
Operative Text
In consideration of and as a way of providing the developer with tools and flexibility to meet the requirements of this chapter, a developer may meet its opportunity housing requirement by the construction of all required opportunity housing units on the site of the proposed residential development. (Ord. 2019-16 , passed 2-25-2019)
Bloomington, Minn., Code of Ordinances § 9 § 9.07 establishes one pathway through which a developer can satisfy the city's opportunity housing requirement: by building all of the required affordable units directly on the same site as the proposed residential development. This on-site option is framed as a tool offering flexibility, rather than a mandate, within the broader framework of the chapter's requirements. The rule does not prohibit other compliance methods; it simply defines and permits this particular approach.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Bloomington, Minn., Code of Ordinances § 9 § 9.07, developers and property owners pursuing residential projects have the option to fulfill their opportunity housing obligations entirely on the development site itself. Operators who choose this path generally ensure that the number of on-site affordable units meets or exceeds the chapter's required threshold before seeking project approvals. Keeping detailed records of unit counts, locations, and affordability designations within the development is a common practice for demonstrating compliance with this on-site option.

Bloomington, Minn., Code of Ordinances § 9 § 9.07 is relevant to prospective residents because it is one mechanism by which affordable opportunity housing units are created within new residential developments. When a developer uses this on-site option, affordable units should be physically located within the same development as market-rate units. Tenants who believe a development is not meeting its opportunity housing obligations may consider contacting the City of Bloomington's planning or housing department, or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization, to understand what units should be available and how to access them.
