Council hears two small-business conditional-use proposals; planning commission recommended approval
Loading...
Summary
Council reviewed conditional use permit requests for Banh Mi Corner (restaurant) and Cars R Us (wholesale auto dealer office). Planning staff said both received plan commission recommendations; an audience member questioned Cars R Us notice procedures, and staff explained zoning differences and notification rules.
Two separate conditional use permit proposals were presented at Tuesday’s council meeting and generated limited public comment.
Banh Mi Corner would occupy an empty space in the West Greenfield Town Center (6780 W. Greenfield Ave.) under C-3 commercial zoning. Planning staff said plan commission recommended approval; the restaurant would include about 32 indoor seats and intends to operate roughly 9 a.m.–7 p.m. and hoped to open in March.
A separate request for a light motor vehicle sales use at 10920 W. Lincoln Ave. (Cars R Us) was described as an office-based wholesale automotive dealer with no outdoor vehicle lot, no maintenance, and a maximum of two employee parking stalls shown on the site plan. Plan commission recommended approval with a condition limiting the use to an office-based wholesale operation. A nearby resident said they were not notified about an earlier landscaping business occupying the building; staff explained that permitted light-industrial uses do not always require public hearings and that the conditional-use requirement applies specifically to the dealer use.
Outcome: Both hearings were closed with no council action recorded at the meeting; staff said they would follow up with neighbors who raised notice concerns.
