Committee hears special‑use request to site U‑Haul rentals at former BP on Lincoln Way
Summary
A special‑use request was presented for 101 S. Lincoln Way (former BP) to host up to six U‑Haul vehicles (one display and five parked in the rear). Planning staff said the site’s 13 parking spaces meet zoning counts and the plan commission approved with a condition forbidding truck parking on John Street.
The Committee of the Whole reviewed a special‑use application June 15 to allow motor‑vehicle rental activity at the former BP station, 101 South Lincoln Way.
Planning staff said the owner proposes to display one U‑Haul and keep five additional rental vehicles behind the site where a car wash was demolished for code violations. "They were at the last plan commission," staff said, and the commission approved the project but requested a condition prohibiting parking on John Street.
Staff noted the site currently has 13 parking spaces and said that count meets the zoning ordinance for the proposed vehicle display plus the five parked rental units. A trustee asked whether the units were trucks or trailers; staff replied the application shows six vehicles total.
The owner of the property was not present for the meeting. The committee did not take a final vote tonight; staff presented the application and answered questions.
What’s next: staff will process the special‑use record and any required conditions before forwarding the item to the village board or returning it to the plan commission if additional changes are requested.
