A new vehicle repair shop is set to breathe life into one of Show Low's vacant buildings, as the Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously approved a conditional use permit for Subi Row LLC. The decision came during the meeting on August 12, 2025, where the applicant, Sarah and Adam Ulibag, outlined their plans for the facility located at 1641 East Dusep Clubs.

Commission members expressed enthusiasm about revitalizing a vacant space rather than constructing new buildings. "It's nice to see somebody moving into one of our vacant buildings," one member noted, highlighting the importance of reducing the number of empty properties in the area.

The shop will primarily focus on servicing and repairing Subarus, with plans for performance modifications as well. The Ulibags assured the commission that while they will offer upgrades, the main focus will be on general service for the growing number of Subaru vehicles in town.

Concerns about vehicle overflow and parking were addressed, with the Ulibags confirming they would utilize a fenced area behind the shop for additional vehicle storage. They anticipate being able to park up to 20 vehicles in that space, ensuring the front area remains clear for customers.

The commission's approval comes with a seven-day appeal period. If no appeals are filed, the permit will take effect, allowing the Ulibags to move forward with their plans.

In other discussions, the commission reminded the community to remain vigilant about safety, especially with the school year starting and an increase in local traffic. The next Planning and Zoning meeting is tentatively scheduled for September, as the commission continues to address community needs and development.
