ITEM SUMMARY:
Dan Gunsteen of CW Development of West Chicago LLC d/b/a Extreme Clean Car Wash
is requesting approval of a Final Planned Unit Development (PUD) for Lot 2 of the Bluestone
Properties PUD and a Special Use Permit (SUP) to operate a Motor Vehicle Laundry at 511 E
Roosevelt Road. The 1.07-acre property is located on the north side of Roosevelt Road, approximately
500 feet west of Route 59, and is zoned B-2 General Business District with a Planned Unit
Development. The site is currently vacant. The City's Comprehensive Plan designates the property for
Commercial use, consistent with surrounding land uses.
The petitioner is proposing to develop the site with a 5,788 square foot single-lane carwash facility with
an ancillary vehicle vacuum area. The car wash is proposed to operate seven days a week, 7:00 a.m.
to 8:00 p.m., with summer hours extended to 9:00 p.m. No sound amplification will occur on the
property. Site access will be solely off Roosevelt Road through an existing restricted right-in/right-
out/left-in driveway. A secure gated emergency access lane off Dayton Avenue will be restricted to
emergency vehicles only. The proposed development includes significant landscaping, fencing for
screening and sound attenuation, and flat cut-off LED lighting in compliance with all illumination limits,
including a maximum of 0.1 foot-candles along the north property line adjacent to residential.
The applicant previously received City Council approval for this request in 2021; however, the subject
property was never developed and that approval has since expired.

The Plan Commission conducted a public hearing on April 7, 2026. No members of the public spoke on
the proposal. By a vote of 5 ayes and 0 nays, the Plan Commission recommended approval of the
request and adopted findings of fact supporting the recommendation, as set forth in Exhibit “B” to the
attached draft ordinance.
ACTION PROPOSED:
Discuss and provide a recommendation to the City Council regarding the Final PUD and Special Use
Permit request by Dan Gunsteen of CW Development of West Chicago LLC d/b/a Extreme Clean Car
Wash to operate a Motor Vehicle Laundry at 511 E Roosevelt Road in the B-2 General Business
District.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
The Development Committee recommended approval of the proposed Special Use Permit.
 Attachment:  Draft Ordinance 26-O-0006
