Rezoning of 1036 Higgins Road to general commercial

AI-assisted researchHow this was researched and checked

The owner of 1036 Higgins Road (parcel 12-02-300-118-0000), a restaurant site with a nonconforming drive-through, asked to rezone it from the retail and office district to the general commercial district ahead of a multi-tenant commercial project with a drive-through. After a public hearing on August 14, 2018, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 8–0 to recommend approval with the findings of fact as submitted. Site plan review was still required.

Documented status: Committee recommendation (recorded in draft minutes), Aug 14 2018. 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.

Open questions

No open question is recorded for this item.

What does the evidence suggest, and what would change it?

No conflicting records are published for this item.

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, Aug 14, 2018 (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.
