Adult-use cannabis dispensary special use at 1036 Higgins Road

AI-assisted researchHow this was researched and checked

Nirvana Management Corporation applied for a special use for an adult-use cannabis dispensing organization in an existing commercial building at 1036 Higgins Road in the general commercial district, a site where an earlier applicant had received Council approval and then withdrawn. After a public hearing on July 26, 2022, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended that the City Council approve the special use. The vote was 8–0. The source is draft minutes. The Council's own action is not part of this record.

Documented status: Committee recommendation (recorded), Jul 9 2024. Evidence dated . Later outcomes require a later source.

No amount is published for this item.

Contracts, payments and 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, Jul 26, 2022 (Planning and Zoning Commission recommends the special use).

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.
