The Greater Bemidji Area Joint Planning Commission will hold its monthly meeting at 6 p.m. Thursday at Bemidji City Hall as it holds five public hearings.
The JPC holds public hearings and makes recommendations to the Joint Planning Board, which typically meets about two weeks later.
The public hearings to be held this week include:
- A rezone request from Bob Whelan to change the zoning for a parcel on Justice Road Northwest in Northern Township. He is requesting that the zoning be changed from low-density commercial multiple family.
- Upper Mississippi Mental Health is seeking an interim use permit that would allow it to offer mental health counseling at 505 Bemidji Ave. N.
