U-Haul Auto Rental at Colony Square Shopping Center
Summary
A new U-Haul neighborhood dealer would bring truck and trailer rentals to The Colony for the first time, saving residents trips to Plano or Dallas. Commissioners back the business but are worried customers returning trucks won't stay inside the small rear storage area next to single-family homes.

Impact analysis
No city infrastructure spending is planned; the property owner is funding its own lighting and site improvements at the aging center.
Colony residents would gain a local U-Haul option and the shopping center gets a new tenant as the owner reinvests in the property.
Neighbors behind the center could be affected if rental trucks and trailers overflow the designated storage area near their back fences.

A U-Haul rental operation is coming to 5201 South Colony Blvd, with vehicles stored in a marked, masonry-screened area behind the center and customer parking moved to the front so renters don't walk through the truck court.

Trucks would be stored about 80 feet from the nearest home, behind a masonry wall and fencing, next to existing bus and USPS vehicle storage. The main open question is whether returning customers will actually keep vehicles inside the marked storage spot.
