Floor area ratio variance at 420 S. Lincoln Avenue

Lincoln Avenue that exceeds the maximum floor area ratio. The board's findings cite an existing basement that counts toward floor area because more than half of its height is above grade. The vote was 7–0; the board is the final authority on minor variances.

After the decision: permits at this address
Permits dated after Jul 23, 2026 (Zoning Board of Appeals approves the minor variance).
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.
