Planned development for townhomes and a medical office building at 1440 Higgins Road

AI-assisted researchHow this was researched and checked

The applicant brought concept plans for redeveloping the garden center site at 1440 Higgins Road to the Planning and Zoning Commission on June 13, 2017 and August 8, 2017, then applied for a planned development of townhomes and a commercial building. After a public hearing on November 14, 2017, the motion to recommend approval failed. The staff memo to the City Council reported the vote as 0–9. The roll call printed in the draft minutes does not match that result, so the tally here comes from the memo.

Documented status: First reading (recorded), Dec 4 2017. Evidence dated . Later outcomes require a later source.

What was requested, recommended, approved, contracted, reported paid and completed?

Amounts are read from the cited pages and added up by code. A recommendation, an award or an authorized amount does not establish that money was paid.

No amount is published for this item.

Contracts, payments and completion

No contract, payment or completion record is published for this item. Approval alone does not establish completion.

Which parcels, agencies, businesses and projects are explicitly connected?

Official identifiers and exhibit listings connect records. A name, an address or distance alone only suggests a connection.

Permits at this address since the first recorded event

No approval, award or execution is recorded, so permits are counted after the first dated event, Jun 13, 2017 (Commission reviews an earlier concept plan without a vote).

Computed by code from the building permits in the Park Ridge property release (the county permit feed), as of Nov 1, 2026. A permit shows that work was authorized, not that it was completed, and no permit recorded does not establish that nothing was built. A parcel matched by address is nominated by the address written in the record; that does not prove the record concerns it.
