The co-owners of the motor vehicle service station at 1200 West Touhy Avenue (parcel 09-26-319-014-0000) asked to rezone it from the retail and office district, where the station is a nonconforming use, to the general commercial district. After a public hearing on October 24, 2017, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval; the staff memo to the City Council reported the vote as 8–0. Any sign changes would need separate review.

Documented status: Committee recommendation (recorded in draft minutes), Oct 24 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.

Properties named in the records

What remains unresolved?

No condition or deadline is published for this item. That is a limit of the published research, not evidence that none exist.

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, Oct 24, 2017 (Planning and Zoning Commission recommends approval of the rezoning).

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.
