URGENT UPDATE: The Blaine City Council is calling for immediate public input on a proposed fitness facility by Thumos LLC. Residents are invited to voice their opinions during a crucial hearing scheduled for 7 PM on January 21, 2026, at the Blaine City Hall Council Chambers. This meeting is a vital opportunity for community engagement regarding the fitness center, which seeks a conditional use permit at 1630 91st Avenue NE, #108.
Community members have until noon on January 21, 2026, to submit written comments via email to [email protected] or by mailing them directly to the Planning Department. Concerned citizens are encouraged to attend the hearing in person to contribute their thoughts live.
The proposed site is located in a Light Industrial (I-1) zoning district, making this public discourse essential before the council deliberates on Thumos LLC’s application. A staff report detailing the application will be posted three days prior to the hearing at BlaineMN.gov/Agendas, providing residents with critical information to inform their comments.
For those unable to attend in person, the city provides multiple ways to participate. The meeting will be broadcast live on local Comcast channel 799 and streamed on the city’s official website. Recorded sessions will also be available for review, ensuring that every voice can be heard, even if residents cannot attend the live event.
The city is committed to making the process accessible. Residents who require assistance, such as an interpreter or other auxiliary services, are encouraged to contact Pat Robinson at the Planning Department no later than January 16, 2026.
This initiative reflects Blaine’s dedication to civic engagement and transparency in local governance, inviting all stakeholders to participate in shaping the future of their community. Residents are urged to take action now—this is a pivotal moment for the city of Blaine.
