A proposed hotel and apartment project near Touhy Avenue came back before the Park Ridge Planning and Zoning Commission on Nov. 10.
The meeting agenda listed a continued public hearing on the project and included dozens of written public comment documents on the item. Meeting results were not yet available in public records.
The proposal calls for a five-story, 95-room hotel and a three-story residential building with 24 units at 809 W. Touhy Ave. and several adjacent properties along Third Street and Garden Street, according to a city summary. The applicant is seeking a map amendment and a special use for a planned unit development.
The commission first reviewed the proposal on Aug. 25, then continued the public hearing to Sept. 29 to let the applicant address questions raised during the initial review, the city said. At the Sept. 29 meeting, the commission voted on both applications.
A motion to recommend approval of the map amendment failed on a 4-4 vote. The commission voted 6-2 to recommend denial of the special use request. The applications advanced to the City Council on Nov. 4. After the applicant submitted additional revisions, the council referred both requests back to the Planning and Zoning Commission because the changes differed from the plans commissioners had previously reviewed, according to the city.
The commission's next scheduled meetings are Dec. 15 and Jan. 12, 2027, subject to change, at City Hall, 505 Butler Place.
