Parking garage expansion variances at 1925 W. Dempster Street

AI-assisted researchHow this was researched and checked

The Zoning Board of Appeals voted 6–0 to recommend that the City Council approve major variances (VA-26-07) for a parking garage expansion at 1925 W. Dempster Street: exceeding the maximum building height for the zoning district and departing from the design standards for sixty-degree parking spaces. Staff told the board that the applicant was withdrawing a third request, for light fixtures above the maximum height, and would design the fixtures to meet code. The City Council makes the final decision on major variances; this record does not show that action.

Documented status: Committee recommendation (recorded in draft minutes), Apr 23 2026. Evidence dated . Later outcomes require a later source.
