AI-assisted researchHow this was researched and checked

After a public hearing on May 26, 2026, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended that the City Council grant special use SU-26-06 for a medical/dental clinic at 31 S Northwest Highway, where applicant Michael Kogelis described an optical store offering limited eye exams. The draft minutes page with this vote is not in the text record, but the staff memo to the Council reports the recommendation as 8–0. The draft ordinance lists parcels 09-35-205-033-0000 and 09-35-205-020-0000.

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.

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, May 26, 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.
