The Planning Commission serves as an advisory body and will be gathering public input before making a recommendation to the City Council, which holds the authority for the final decision on the application. This process allows for community engagement and considers the impact of new developments on the town's commercial landscape and its inhabitants.

Blaine residents have multiple options to view the proceedings, including live broadcasts on the city's cable channel, available on Comcast channel 799. The public can also livestream the meeting at BlaineMN.gov/Video or access recorded meetings at the same link or through BlaineMN.gov/Agendas. For those requiring an interpreter or other assistance, it's recommended to contact Pat Robinson at the Planning Department by Thursday, July 3, 2025.
