Public Meetings - Park Ridge, Illinois

The Appearance Commission of Park Ridge, Illinois, met on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, at 7:00 PM in City Hall Council Chambers. Commissioners Manningley, Stewart, Druco, and Lingan were present; Commissioner Kelly was absent. The meeting began with roll call and approval of the September 30, 2026 minutes as edited (one correction adding a vote tally to the consent agenda motion). Consent Calendar - The following cases were placed on the consent agenda and approved unanimously: GA-26-04 (New Garage at 421 Leonard), SF-25-10 REVISION (Single-Family Residence at 215 Stanley), SF-26-11 REVISION (Single-Family Residence at 13 N Merrill), SF-26-13 (Single-Family Residence at 829 Hastings – note: the application incorrectly listed 839, corrected during the meeting), CI-26-13 REVISION (Commercial Project at 42 Main St, Signage), and CI-26-15 (Commercial Project at 112 Main St, Signage). Public Comments & Testimony - John Sandrick, a 54-year resident at 409 S Clifton, expressed strong disapproval of the proposed homes at 525 and 529 S Clifton. He stated the two designs are “practically identical” and “cookie cutter,” calling it “shameful” for the block, which otherwise features a variety of new and remodeled homes. He urged the commission to exert more authority to prevent such lack of variety. Discussion Items - SA-26-13: Single-Family Alteration at 638 Ottawa – Commissioner questions about the proposed addition’s flat roof and visibility were clarified by the applicant: the addition is in the rear, not visible from the street, and is designed to accommodate a bathroom and laundry for elderly owners. Motion to approve as presented passed unanimously. - SF-26-09: Single-Family Residence at 421 Leonard – Commissioners raised concerns about excessive verticality due to uniform board-and-batten siding, the trending white-and-black color scheme, and lack of side windows. Applicant agreed to two revisions: add horizontal lap siding on the gable roofs and widen the board-and-batten spacing on the front bays, and increase transom window height. Motion to approve with those revisions passed unanimously. - SF-26-12: Single-Family Residence at 1306 Grove – Concerns were raised that the bright white exterior would not be compatible with the neighborhood’s warmer tones (browns, yellows, reds). The owner, who initially wanted white, agreed to choose a warmer, non-white color. Also noted that the garage is side-loaded due to an oddly shaped lot. Motion to approve subject to changing the exterior color to a warmer tone (not bright white) passed unanimously. - SF-26-14 (525 S Clifton) and SF-26-15 (529 S Clifton) – Both cases were pulled from the consent agenda in response to public comment. The applicant highlighted differences: 525 is all brick with cream tones and metal roof, while 529 is siding with a wraparound porch and different window colors. Commissioners felt the designs were sufficiently distinct. Motions to approve each as presented passed separately, both unanimously. Other Business - The commission discussed the growing trend of white-and-black modern farmhouse designs, noting that many new homes presented are of this style, leading to a lack of architectural variety. Commissioners acknowledged the difficulty of enforcing color/material preferences under current guidelines, which lack “teeth.” They agreed to continue raising the issue but recognized limited ability to reject projects if applicants insist. - Discussion also covered an earlier case where a front “exercise room” with a garage door was approved to circumvent guidelines about garage dominance. Commissioners expressed concern about such loopholes and the need to update guidelines. - Staff provided an update on mural guidelines: the appearance commission will serve as a recommending body for murals on public buildings only (city, parks, schools). No applications are expected soon. Key Outcomes - Consent agenda (6 items) approved unanimously. - SA-26-13 approved as presented (unanimous). - SF-26-09 approved with revisions (unanimous). - SF-26-12 approved with condition to change exterior color to a warmer, non-white tone (unanimous). - SF-26-14 approved as presented (unanimous). - SF-26-15 approved as presented (unanimous). - Meeting adjourned.

The Planning and Zoning Commission met on Tuesday, October 27, 2026, at 7:00 p.m. in the City Hall Council Chambers, 505 Butler Place, Park Ridge. Chair Hanlin presided. Commissioners Schubert, Hutchinson, McMillan, Coogan, Hanlin, Papracky, and Shepherd were present; Commissioners Karstens and Gilpin were absent. The Commission approved minutes, unanimously approved a continued site plan review, discussed B-4 Uptown land-use options, and received a City Council liaison report. Consent Calendar - The Commission unanimously approved the October 13, 2026 meeting minutes without amendments. Public Comments & Testimony - No members of the public came forward for non-agenda public comment. During the 245 Vine Avenue case, only the applicant's team spoke. Development Case: ZPR-26-10 - Site Plan Review at 245 Vine Avenue - This continued case was originally scheduled for the July 28 meeting. The applicant appeared before the Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) on July 23 for two variances: an additional townhome (two were permitted; three were proposed) and a parking variance. The parking variance became moot under the People Over Parking Act. On October 19, the City Council overturned the ZBA's negative recommendation and approved the additional townhome use; the Commission's review was therefore limited to site plan standards, not the use itself. - The project would replace the existing two-story, four-unit apartment building, which has no garage, with three new two-story townhomes on an 8,200-square-foot lot. The building footprint is about 4,200 square feet. Each townhome would have two bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, 1,300 to 1,450 square feet above grade, a full basement, and about 250 square feet of private outdoor space. A detached three-car garage with one exterior parking space is proposed at the rear, accessed by a driveway. - Applicant's attorney Brianna Skelly, on behalf of property owner Patrick Coyle, requested approval. Architect Ramon Contreras testified that the project would meet landscaping requirements. Commissioner questions focused on missing landscape-plan details, and the motion included a landscaping compliance condition. - A motion to approve the site plan as described in the staff memorandum and attachments for ZPR-26-0010 passed unanimously, 7-0, with the condition that the applicant comply with all landscaping requirements. Discussion Item: Potential Permitted Land Use Types in B-4 Uptown Subdistricts - Staff Planner Claudia Hampel explained that medical/dental clinics are currently permitted in B1, B2, and B3; a special use in B4 Uptown Core and Uptown Commercial; and unavailable in the Transitional subdistrict. Examples include therapists, IV hydration/vitamin clinics, Botox establishments, dentists, physical therapists, and family medicine. Permanent makeup is classified as a personal services establishment, not a medical/dental clinic. - Existing non-conforming medical/dental uses in B4 would continue to operate under Section 15 of the zoning ordinance regardless of any future change. - Staff presented three flexible considerations: (1) allow medical/dental clinics as a special use in Transitional; (2) keep special-use oversight on ground floors but allow different regulation for above-ground floors, similar to personal services and office regulations; and (3) create a distinct medical retail or med-tail definition, a concept deferred during the Uptown Master Plan process. - Staff noted that she found about seven medical/dental special-use applications in the last five years, but many inquiries come informally from realtors and property owners and never become formal applications. - Commissioner Hutchinson asked whether a future separate text amendment about medical and adult-use cannabis co-location could intersect with this discussion; staff confirmed it is a completely separate use and would not be affected by this item. - Commissioner positions generally favored consideration two, with continued special-use oversight for ground-floor medical/dental uses, and asked staff to explore consideration three. Commissioners also discussed the difficulty of enforcing retail-percentage definitions and the need to research how other communities handle definitions and enforcement. - No formal vote was taken. Staff will bring back a broader proposal, likely at the first January 2027 meeting, covering a possible medical-retail definition and enforcement approaches. City Council Liaison Report - City Council Liaison Joseph Steinfels reported on the October 19 City Council and Committee of the Whole meetings: - Commissioner Karstens was reappointed to the Planning and Zoning Commission. - The Mayor issued a proclamation recognizing Community Planning Month. - The Historic Preservation Commission presented a property-by-property study of the pretzel area of historic interest; no formal historic district was proposed, and the City Council's moratorium on historic district creation remains in place. - The City Council rejected the ZBA's negative recommendation on the 245 Vine Avenue major variance and approved the third townhome; the parking variance was stricken under the People Over Parking Act. - The Committee of the Whole discussed adding public parking to the substantial community benefit list because the People Over Parking Act removes parking requirements. A legal question exists about whether municipalities can enforce a developer's promise to provide parking; the city attorney and director are reviewing it, and the issue may come back to P&Z for a recommendation. - A new lease has been entered for the Uptown Metro train station vendor after the previous lease fell through. - A proposal for a hotel and multi-unit residential building on Third Street will be presented at the November 4 City Council meeting. - An affordable housing and inclusionary zoning discussion is expected at City Council; if it leads to zoning code changes, the matter would return to P&Z through a public hearing. - P&Z members raised questions about applicants negotiating changes at Council hearings and about resident concerns regarding repeated continuances. The city planner noted that substantive changes could be referred back to the Commission. - The liaison said the eminent domain matter is moving through Cook County court, likely on a roughly two-year timeline. - The liaison also announced a Veterans Day ceremony on November 11 at 11:00 a.m. at Hodges Park. Key Outcomes - Approved the October 13, 2026 minutes unanimously. - Approved ZPR-26-10 at 245 Vine Avenue unanimously, 7-0, with a landscaping-compliance condition. - Directed staff to continue working on a B-4 medical/dental clinic text amendment, including a possible medical-retail definition and enforcement research; no binding action was taken. - The Commission adjourned by unanimous motion. Upcoming P&Z meetings were listed as November 10 and December 15, 2026, subject to change.

The Farmers Market Committee of Park Ridge, Illinois, met on Wednesday, October 21, 2026, in the City Hall Finance Conference Room, 505 Butler Place. Members present included Stephanie Goodridge, Karen Grunshaw, Katie Daniels, Jessica Curry, Deanne Dermopolis, Brenda Holcomb, Dee Weinke, Amy Nedich, and Wally O'Keefe. The committee approved the September 16, 2026 minutes with amendments, honored outgoing members, discussed and approved revised market rules and the vendor application, and reviewed marketing, operations, and old business. Public Comments & Testimony - No citizens appeared to speak on non-agenda items. City Liaison Report - The City Liaison thanked outgoing members Brenda Holcomb and Karen Grunshaw. Brenda, who joined the committee around March 2021, was credited with the new market logo, banners, poster contest, and social media presence. Karen was recognized for many years of service, including 5 a.m. setup to 2 p.m. teardown, advocacy for farmers, and continuing the SNAP program. A commemorative sign was presented to Karen. Market Master and Market Manager Reports - Karen reported that the new market tents have drawn positive comments and reduced setup work. She noted that Danielle prefers vendors to handle cleanup while staff manage storage. - Karen reported that Rata from Kaditch collapsed at the market due to dehydration, recovered after receiving fluids, and returned home. She recommended committee members visit the market in its final two weeks before voting on vendors. - The last market will include face painting and balloons. One or two potential food vendors are being tried out in the roughly 40–45-foot space left by Berry Berries. Discussion Items - Rules of Operation: Proposed changes had been reviewed with city attorneys; yellow highlights marked additions and red marked deletions. Members discussed removing the sales tax number requirement from the rules while keeping it on the application, out-of-state scale inspections, and logo-use language meant to protect the market from unauthorized or harmful use. The committee clarified that the business-license requirement applies only to businesses located in Park Ridge, allowing out-of-town vendors to be accepted. - Vendor Application: Members reviewed the current online application. They agreed to remove question 18, update dates for 2027, refine vendor-type wording, and state that unapproved items are prohibited. Electricity instructions under vendor space fees should be made more prominent. Space requests should be specific, with four or five spaces reserved for farmers only; market masters retain discretion. Returning vendor applications should be due by January 11, with payment due by January 31. - Application Process: Members debated opening new vendor applications in November. Karen expressed concern about stringing applicants along until March decisions, while other members argued earlier applications helped secure desirable vendors and allowed rolling decisions. Staff hoped to have the updated application online by November 1 if approved. Research on other markets, including Evanston, Glenview, Oak Park, Mount Prospect, and Arlington Heights, found most opened applications after the first of the year. Action Items - A motion to approve the Rules of Operation as amended was seconded and passed unanimously by voice vote. - A motion to approve the Vendor Application as amended with the evening's noted changes was seconded and passed unanimously by voice vote. Sub-Committee Reports - Finance: No formal report; the committee noted it is 'spending the money.' - Marketing & Communications: Boulevard banner replacement was deferred to January 2027 to preserve budget cushion, with all 20 boulevard banners to be replaced then. Members received updates on designer Mark Burns, magazine contacts, public works coordination, and printers. Poster contest materials were distributed to schools, park districts, and the library. A vendor contact email must go out before November 5. - Operations: No report. - Special Events: The final market will include face painting and balloons. Old Business - Banner placements at schools: Elementary District 64 responded positively, allowing banners at Emerson and possibly Roosevelt. The high school district declined fence advertising and general banner placement, but offered space in its weekly parent newsletter; the committee will continue discussions. - The Centennial Park District pool was secured for promotional banners. Ice rink overhead banner placement was discussed but deferred. - Picnic tables will remain with the park district at Cumberland Park for now. The committee plans to begin earlier discussions with the park district about future market use. - An indoor winter market was raised as a possible long-term consideration. Key Outcomes - Minutes of September 16, 2026, approved as amended. - Rules of Operation approved as amended for the upcoming season. - Vendor application approved as amended, with a staff target to post it online by November 1, 2026. - Returning vendor applications are due January 11, 2027; payment is due January 31, 2027. - The committee recognized outgoing members Brenda Holcomb and Karen Grunshaw. - Boulevard banner replacement was deferred to January 2027. - There was no new business, and the meeting adjourned.

The Park Ridge City Council Committee of the Whole met Monday, October 19, 2026, at 8:15 p.m. in City Hall Council Chambers. Seven alderpersons were present and Mayor Maloney was absent. No minutes were available, so this summary is based on the agenda and transcript. The meeting included one public comment, departmental reports from planning, public works, police, fire, administration, and finance, and approval of an FOIA policy, a train station lease, and the 2027 insurance renewal. Public Comments & Testimony - EJ Peparaki, 1217 Powder Road, expressed concern about the state's People vs. Parking Act and its effect on street parking near transit. He explained that the act means developers are not required to provide parking within half a mile of a transit station, and he urged the Council to enforce zoning ordinance square-footage standards to encourage developers to provide on-site parking and to anticipate future development cases before ZBA and City Council. - No other members of the public spoke. Procedures and Regulations - No formal action or discussion items were listed, but discussion covered vape shop regulation, historic surveys, and PUD parking incentives. - The department head said a Planning and Zoning memorandum was provided for the night, and historic survey outcomes and preservation planning could be added to a future Committee of the Whole agenda. - Ald. Lawrence asked whether the vape shop product review scheduled for December 7 could be moved up in light of national deaths linked to vape products. Staff noted a new state law addressing hemp-derived THC products; the city attorney said synthetic cannabis products may only be sold through licensed dispensaries starting November 12. The transcript also contains an earlier reference to the law taking effect November 1, a discrepancy not resolved on the record. Ald. Moran expressed concern that some shops violate state law and that enforcement and compliance will be a challenge. - Ald. Steinfels asked whether on-site parking could be added to the planned unit development (PUD) public benefit list to address the People vs. Parking Act. The planning director initially said it might already be on the list; at the close of the meeting, Ald. Steinfels said it was not listed and asked that the city manager investigate adding it as a standalone item. Public Works - No action or discussion items were listed. - Public Works Director Hosson announced the city's annual pumpkin compost drop-off will be Saturday, November 7, from 9 a.m. to noon at the Public Works Service Center. Residents should remove candles and decorations and use the dumpster instead of the community compost bins. - In response to Ald. Steinfels, public works said alley construction for the SSA between Harrison, Belle Plaine, and Columbia is delayed while awaiting ComEd tree trimming and line de-energization. Public Safety – Police - No action or discussion items were listed. - The Police Chief noted the recent death of Detective Frank Loria, who gave 22 years of service to the city, and thanked the community for support. - Department highlights included the ongoing Citizen Police Academy, homecoming coverage for Maine East and Maine South, and an ongoing feasibility study with Cortigan Clark. - In September 2026, there were 81 e-bike enforcements and five citations, all issued to underage riders. The Volunteer Corps contributed 79 hours in September and 726 hours year to date. - A complimentary letter praising Officer Leia was read into the record. - The drug take-back event will be Saturday, October 24, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.; only dry substances are accepted, and liquids and syringes are prohibited. Public Safety – Fire - No action or discussion items were listed. - Chief Sorensen reported highlights from the 2026 Q3 report: call volume was steady, with a plus-19 call variance from Q2 to Q3; the department received mutual aid 273 times and provided mutual aid 250 times. The tower ladder was out of service for periods, leading to additional coverage from Niles. - Responses to residential health care facilities remained consistently at approximately 13 percent. - Training highlights included about 45% of personnel hired since 2020, acquired-structure training on North Prospect, training at Lutheran General's build-out, and tactical walkthroughs at several facilities. - The dispatch transition involving Red Center was delayed beyond the expected October timeframe. Administrative Services - Action item: The Council approved, 7-0, a Resolution adopting the City of Park Ridge Freedom of Information Act Policy. - Staff explained the city had not previously had a formal written FOIA policy; the new policy outlines FOIA officer responsibilities, response procedures, and timelines. - FOIA statistics cited: city-side FOIA requests were 452 in 2025 and 473 so far in 2026, on track for about a 20% increase; police department requests were 900 in 2025 and 750 so far in 2026. - A discussion item on the HR monthly report was presented for review; no department head report followed. Finance and Budget - The Council agreed to take this section after Administrative Services, out of the published agenda order.

The rate increase was a modest 2.7%. - There was a brief discussion about whether the premium had been budgeted; staff confirmed they adjusted the 2027 budget based on the invoice, and the city was under budget for 2026. - Budget workshops are planned for November 16 at 6 p.m. and December 1, possibly requiring action to move the regular council meeting start time from 7 p.m. to 6 p.m. Key Outcomes - Approved the FOIA policy resolution by a 7-0 roll call vote. - Approved the Uptown train station lease with Awesome B Inc. d/b/a Sip & Bite by voice vote. - Approved the $1,226,822.11 CY 2027 workers' compensation and liability insurance renewal with IML RMA by voice vote. - No action was taken on police, fire, public works, or procedures items. - Next steps: historic survey outcomes may be added to a future meeting; the vape shop regulatory review is expected to continue into 2027; Ald. Steinfels requested that the city manager investigate adding off-street parking as a standalone PUD public benefit for the next council meeting.

On Monday, October 19, 2026, at 7:00 p.m., the Park Ridge City Council met in regular session at City Hall Council Chambers. Mayor Maloney was absent, and Alderperson Moran served as temporary chair. A quorum was present. The meeting included approval of minutes, appointments, a proclamation, a consent agenda item, public comment, several committee reports, a presentation on a historic survey, and action on a zoning variance. Consent Calendar - Approved the October 5, 2026 City Council and Committee of the Whole minutes (unanimous). - Approved appointments: Scot Karstens to Planning & Zoning Commission (term through 2030); Nicole Wyatt to Animal Commission (term through 2029); Jill Hetzel to Community Health Commission (term through 2029) – all approved unanimously. - Mayor Maloney’s proclamation designating October as "Community Planning Month" in Park Ridge was read. - Approved a purchase order with Red Line Works, LLC for $29,199.17 for emergency lighting, siren installation, and cabinetry for the Battalion Chief’s vehicle (FD 100) as part of the consent agenda (unanimous). Public Comments & Testimony - Manuela Gucca, a resident at 1091 Northwest Highway, reported repeated traffic accidents on that street, including an incident where a car entered her garage. She requested action to improve safety. The chair recommended she contact her ward alderperson for coordination with public works and public safety. Discussion Items - Holiday Lights Budget Amendment (Finance & Budget Committee): The council considered an amendment to the FY2026 General Fund Budget in the amount of $23,070 to fund holiday light installation. One alderperson (not named in transcript) voted against, stating the display could have been done within the existing budget and that adding rooftop lights was not worth the cost. The motion passed with a voice vote showing aye and nay; no roll call taken. - Intensive Historic Survey of L. Hodges Addition (Historic Preservation Commission): City Planner John Scopletti and consultant Erica McGuire (McGuire Glaskin Associates) presented findings from a survey of 193 principal buildings in the area bounded by Butler Place, El Plain Avenue, Cortland Avenue, and the Union Pacific Railroad. Key findings: 10 properties are eligible for individual City of Park Ridge landmark status; 121 properties contribute to a potential City Historic District; 3 properties are eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. The survey also noted a 20% demolition rate in the area. Recommendations included creating an interactive web map, design guidelines, and requiring historic impact studies before demolition. The draft report is with the State Historic Preservation Office for final approval. Council members discussed next steps, noting a pending moratorium on demolitions. No vote was taken; the presentation was informational. - Zoning Variance for 245 Vine Avenue (Zoning Board of Appeals): The council considered an ordinance for a three-unit townhome development with reduced off-street parking. Two variances were initially requested: (1) relief from parking requirements, and (2) relief from minimum lot area (lot size allowed 2.75 townhomes; applicant proposed 3). Due to the Illinois "People Over Parking Act," which exempts properties within a half-mile of transit from local parking regulations, the parking variance was moot. The council first approved a motion to remove any parking-related conditions from the ordinance (voice vote, unanimous). The remaining lot area variance had been recommended for denial by the ZBA (4-3 vote). The applicant’s representative, Brianna Skelly (also a Park Ridge resident), argued that the property’s irregular trapezoidal shape (50-foot width, varying depths) and proximity to railroad tracks constituted a hardship, and that the proposed townhomes are more compatible than a by-right four-unit multifamily building (which would require no parking). Several members of the public spoke in favor of the variance, citing the project’s quality and the fact that the applicant voluntarily included a three-car garage and one on-site parking space. One citizen expressed concern that neighboring lots of similar size would then also seek variances. After deliberation, council members noted that the zoning code’s townhome density formula (2.75 units) may be outdated and that the attached parking mitigates potential parking spillover. The motion to approve the final reading of the ordinance (including the lot area variance) passed by a roll call vote of 7-0. - Other Committee Reports: - Farmers Market Committee: Two markets remain; vendor applications for 2027 open by end of November; next meeting October 21 at 6:30 p.m. - Library Board: The consortium expanded to 34 member libraries (adding Rolling Meadows and Waukegan); National Friends of the Library Week (October 18-24); fall book sale October 23-25. - Community Health Commission: "Walk Run Park Ridge" program active; aldermanic walks scheduled; "Stop the Bleed" event held with 39 participants (sold out). - Planning & Zoning Commission: Next meeting October 27. - Youth Services Commission: Next meeting October 22 at 6 p.m. Key Outcomes - Approved minutes, appointments, proclamation, and consent agenda item (all unanimous). - Approved FY2026 General Fund Budget amendment for holiday lights ($23,070) with one opposing vote. - Approved ordinance for zoning variances at 245 Vine Avenue (three-unit townhome development) – roll call 7-0. - No formal action taken on the historic survey presentation; further discussion will occur via the Historic Preservation Commission and City Council. - Several committee reports were received and filed.
