Four major variances for a home addition at 506 S. Home Avenue
AI-assisted researchHow this was researched and checkedOn June 2, 2025 the City Council approved, in four separate roll calls, the major variances in VA-25-12 for a two-story addition with an attached garage at 506 S. Home Avenue (09-34-218-013-0000): encroachment into the required rear yard, a floor area ratio above the maximum, a street-facing garage door wider than allowed, and an increase in the intensity of a nonconforming home. The garage door variance passed 5–1; the others passed without nays. The Zoning Board of Appeals held the hearing on May 22, 2025 and recommended all four, two of them on split votes.

After the decision: permits at this address
Permits dated after Jun 2, 2025 (City Council approves the four variances).
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.
