Plan Commission Divided on Techny Car Wash
Some neighbors object to the proposal due to concerns about traffic, noise and environmental issues.
The following is from the Village of Northbrook, regarding a proposed car wash at 2370 Waukegan Road:
Waterway Gas Station & Car Wash – The Plan Commission held its second public hearing regarding a revised request for approval of special permits to allow a gas station/carwash on the subject property.
A number of individuals from the audience spoke regarding the proposal voicing concerns regarding traffic, noise, lighting, and other potential environmental issues.
Commissioners were divided regarding the appropriateness of the use on the Subject Property. Though divided, the Commission ultimately directed staff to prepare a resolution recommending approval of the revised proposal subject to the hours of the proposed car wash being limited to 8am and 8pm, and the provision of additional landscaping around the proposed loading area.
The Commission is scheduled to vote on the resolution at its July 15 meeting.
