AI-assisted researchHow this was researched and checked

After a public hearing on April 14, 2026, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended that the City Council grant special use SU-26-04 to Advocate Health and Hospitals Corporation for a horizontal expansion of the west parking garage at Advocate Lutheran General Hospital, 1925 W Dempster Street. The draft ordinance lists parcels 09-22-200-012-0000 and 09-22-200-032-0000. Height and parking-dimension variances went to the Zoning Board of Appeals separately.

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, Apr 14, 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.
