ITEM SUMMARY:
The petitioner, Karen’s Truck Repair, is requesting approval of a Special Use Permit to develop and
operate a Motor Vehicle Repair Shop at 1880 Arthur Drive in the M Manufacturing District. The subject
property is located immediately to the east of the DuPage Airport at the southeast corner of Arthur
Drive and Howard Drive. The property is approximately 4.2 acres and is vacant. The property has
frontage on both Arthur Drive and Howard Drive. The uses in the immediate area are industrial uses.
The petitioner is an existing West Chicago business currently located at 1090 Carolina Drive. The
business has outgrown this space and the petitioner is proposing to develop the subject property and
relocate the business. The petitioner is proposing a 17,000 square foot truck repair facility with 20
parking stalls for customers and employees. Behind the structure the petitioner is proposing a parking
lot for trucks to be parked temporarily while waiting to either be serviced or to be picked up by their
owner. Access to the site is proposed off Arthur Drive as well as Howard Drive. The subject property
will be heavily screened on all sides with landscaping including shade trees, ornamental trees,
evergreens, and shrubs. A ten 10 foot tall solid privacy fence will be installed around the portion of the
property where trucks will be temporarily kept to screen vehicles from public view. All required
landscape yards and screening requirements have been satisfied.
At their June 3, 2025 meeting, members of the Plan Commission voted unanimously (4-0, with three
absent) in support of the proposed Special Use Permit.
ACTION PROPOSED:
Discuss and recommend approval of the proposed Special Use Permit for a Motor Vehicle Repair
Shop at 1880 Arthur Drive.

RECOMMENDATION NO. 2025-RC-0010
TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
SUBJECT: PC 25-10
Special use for a Motor Vehicle Repair Shop.
Karen’s Truck Repair
1880 Arthur Drive
DATE: June 3, 2025
DECISION: The Plan Commission/Zoning Board unanimously recommended approval of the special use for a
Motor Vehicle Repair Shop for the SUBJECT REALTY by a (4-0) vote.
RECOMMENDATION
After review of the requested special use for a Motor Vehicle Repair Shop for the SUBJECT REALTY, the Plan
Commission/Zoning Board of Appeals (PC/ZBA) recommended approval based on 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:
(This standard should be interpreted as indicating whether or not the proposed use is good for the public at
that particular physical location, and not whether or not the use itself is needed there).
The use of the Motor Vehicle Repair Shop is proposed on a property in the M Manufacturing District in an
area that has several nearby uses associated with warehousing and distribution. The location will
accommodate its market of truck repair by being in close proximity to these existing uses.
(2) Is so designed, located and proposed to be operated that the public health, safety and welfare will be
protected:
The property will have extensive screening between a mixture of landscaping and solid fencing to screen
from public view. The commercial use of a motor vehicle repair shop is compatible with industrial uses in the
area and will complement and serve as a
(3) Will not cause substantial injury to the value of other property in the neighborhood in which it is located:
The use of the property for a Motor Vehicle Repair Shop will be consistent with the previous legal
nonconforming use that occurred for 40+ years as well as the existing uses in the general vicinity, which are
predominately industrial.
