Health and fitness center special use at 136 N Northwest Highway

AI-assisted researchHow this was researched and checked

After a public hearing on January 13, 2026, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended that the City Council grant special use SU-26-02 so that applicant Amy Fontana could open a health and fitness studio at 136 N Northwest Highway, with the consent of the building's owner, Uptown Station LLC. The draft ordinance lists the parcel as 09-26-424-006-0000. The Council's own action is not part of this record.

Documented status: Committee recommendation (recorded in draft minutes), Jan 13 2026. 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, Jan 13, 2026 (Planning and Zoning Commission recommends 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.
