Commission approved a zoning permit for the Monona Eastside Business Alliance to occupy a 615 sq ft office/incubator at the Bloom building with staff conditions on hours and parking coordination.

Planning staff summarized a zoning permit request from the Monona Eastside Business Alliance (Mesba) to occupy approximately 615 square feet on the ground floor of the Bloom building at 4603 Monona Drive as a low‑cost incubator and office. The use was reviewed under the Community Design District and staff recommended approval with conditions addressing visitor parking for board meetings and a staff review of a potential parking plan for larger events.

Commissioners supported the proposal and asked staff to ensure marketing materials clarify parking options and that any influx of visitors be coordinated with the Bloom club room and public works for on‑street stall management. A motion to approve staff conditions passed unanimously.
