EXHIBIT “B”
RECOMMENDATION NO. 2021-RC-0004
TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
SUBJECT: PC 21-01
Special Use Permit
Tony Whittenhall
1092 Carolina Drive, Unit 3
DATE: March 2, 2021
DECISION: The Plan Commission/Zoning Board unanimously recommended approval of the
special use permit for the SUBJECT REALTY by a vote of seven (7) “yes” and zero
(0) “no”, subject to the following conditions:
1. No outside storage of vehicles, equipment, or machinery shall take place
on the property; and
2. All motor vehicle care work shall occur within the building.
RECOMMENDATION
After holding a public hearing and after review of the requested special use permit, the Plan
Commission/Zoning Board of Appeals recommended approval of the special use permit according
to the following findings of fact:
(1) Is necessary for the public convenience at that location or, the case of existing nonconforming
uses, a special use permit will make the use more compatible with its surroundings:
The use of a motor vehicle care center is best suited for an industrial or highly commercial
area. The subject property is located within the City’s Manufacturing District, which is an
appropriate location for this use, and is not near any residential properties. Although the site is
not highly visible, the proposed operation will not allow “off-the-street” customers, rather it
will be appointment only. This eliminates the need to be located on a highly traveled and
highly visible location. Furthermore, the overall site and building are relatively small and due
to their size have limited potential industrial uses.
(2) Is so designed, located and proposed to be operated that the public health, safety and welfare
will be protected:
The proposed use of the subject property will not adversely impact the public health, safety and
welfare of the community. Similar uses are located within the building as well as on adjoining
properties. No existing uses are nearby that would be incompatible with this type of use.

(3) Will not cause substantial injury to the value of other property in the neighborhood in which it
is located:
The proposed motor vehicle repair use will not cause substantial injury to the value of other
property in the neighborhood in which it is located. The use will occur inside an existing
industrial building with very limited parking outside of the building. The proposed use will
complement the other small, nearby industrial uses in the general area.
(4) The proposed special use is designated by this code as a listed special use in the zoning district
in which the property in question is located:
Per Section 11.2-4(GG) of the West Chicago Zoning Code, a Motor Vehicle Care Center is
listed as a Special Use.
