Board approves special use for hand carwash at 6350 W. 135th Street over regulatory concerns
Summary
The Zoning Board recommended approval for a hand carwash and detailing shop at 6350 W. 135th St.; commissioners raised concerns about vehicle queuing and noise mitigation (four overhead doors to be kept closed). The vote was 4–2.
A petition by Amer Alayan sought a special-use permit for a hand carwash and detailing shop at 6350 W. 135th Street (PIN: 24-32-300-013-0000). The applicant’s representative described a facility with four overhead doors at the front (designed to be kept closed to muffle noise), six employees, and a primary reliance on appointments to avoid vehicle lines.
Commissioners questioned traffic flow and the potential for vehicles to queue onto adjacent streets. The board voted to recommend approval; recorded roll-call votes were Aye — John Hanley, Robert Starzyk, Jack Shanahan, Todd Probasco; Nay — Jim Hughes, Thomas Gregory. Alderman Patrick Scully asked a clarifying question about staffing (how many employees); minutes record the plan for six employees.
