May 9, 2019—Wheeling, Ill., trustees halted plans to move Chicago Auto Repair to the village, as most agreed its Wolf Road site could not meet code requirements, according to a story by Journal & Topics.

In order to move to the building on N. Wolf Road, owners of Chicago Auto Repair requested a parking variance of 17 spaces and special use site plan approval to run an auto repair shop in a commercial/residential mixed use district, according to the story.  

Plans for the shop included five lifts for repairs and operating hours from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturdays, according to the story.

Trustees Monday voted against (4-3) both requests.
