Ground-floor professional office special use at 2 N Northwest Highway

AI-assisted researchHow this was researched and checked

After a public hearing on November 9, 2021, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted on a motion to recommend that the City Council approve a special use for a real estate brokerage office on the ground floor at 2 N Northwest Highway. A staff memorandum to the Council reports that the Commission failed to reach affirmative findings and declined to recommend approval; the draft minutes' roll call lists three ayes and four nays, although the sentence after it says the motion was approved. The City Council's own action is not part of this record.

Documented status: Committee recommendation (recorded in draft minutes), Nov 9 2021. 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, Nov 9, 2021 (Planning and Zoning Commission declines to recommend approval).

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.
