West Allis City Council approves conditional use permits for Toppers Pizza and CD 1 Price Cleaners

In the heart of West Allis, city officials gathered to discuss significant developments that promise to reshape the local landscape. The evening's agenda was packed with proposals, including a conditional use permit for Toppers Pizza, a new restaurant aiming to establish itself at 11045 West National Avenue. The proposed eatery, which will operate from 10 AM to 3 AM, requires a public hearing due to its late-night hours. Toppers Pizza, previously located in Crestwood Common Shopping Center, is set to occupy 1,500 square feet of a 2,400-square-foot building, focusing solely on carry-out and delivery services. The plan has already received the green light from the Plan Commission, with no objections raised thus far.

As the meeting progressed, attention shifted to another ambitious project: Hidden Lofts, a proposed development of 60 townhome units at the former Griffin's Hub Chrysler dealership site on South 108th Street. This project, estimated at $10 million, aims to revitalize a long-vacant lot. The design includes five buildings, each housing 12 units, with a mix of one- to three-bedroom layouts. The development will feature ample parking, landscaping, and pedestrian connections, enhancing accessibility to the surrounding area. The Plan Commission has also recommended approval, with ongoing discussions about traffic management and pedestrian safety.

The evening concluded with a proposal for CD 1 Price Cleaners, a new dry cleaning service set to open at 2367 South 100th Street. This location will be the first for the chain in West Allis, featuring a 5,700-square-foot facility with a mix of retail space and automated self-service kiosks for 24/7 access. The project promises to create jobs and improve the site’s aesthetics, with plans for landscaping and architectural upgrades. The environmentally friendly operation will utilize non-toxic solvents and promote recycling among customers.

As these developments unfold, West Allis is poised for a transformation that could enhance community services and improve the local economy. The council's decisions in the coming weeks will be crucial in determining the future of these projects, reflecting the city's commitment to growth and modernization.
