Commission approves Wings of Love adult day care at 1654 Marden Drive with six conditions

Beavercreek, Ohio — The Beavercreek Planning Commission approved PC25-4, a conditional use permitting an adult day care run by Wings of Love Services at 1654 Marden Drive, in a 4-0 vote. The commission attached six conditions that address parking, pickup/drop-off procedures, vehicle storage and screening of any future waste receptacle.

Applicants Bianca (realtor, Coldwell Banker) and Jana(n)/Janine Adams (identified in the packet as the applicant) described the plan to relocate Wings of Love from Linden Avenue to the 3,600-square-foot, single-story building currently used as a chiropractic office. Jana(n) Adams said the program serves lower-functioning adults and seniors, ages roughly 40 to 85, and that the organization plans to remain small, serving about seven to ten clients during weekday hours of 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.; the agency also operates a home-health program with office hours through 5 p.m.

City planner Colin Carville told commissioners the building has roughly 27 off-street parking spaces, including two ADA spaces, and staff recommended conditions to ensure pickup/drop-off occurs from designated spaces and to provide a six-foot fence buffer on the northern property line so agency vehicles can be stored out of direct view.

Commission discussion covered vehicle circulation, the applicant’s vans and 10-passenger vehicles used for client pickup and drop-off, the frequency of staff training sessions (about one Saturday every three months per the applicant), and the applicants’ plan to park company vans overnight on site. Commissioners and staff also agreed to add a condition requiring that, if a commercial dumpster becomes necessary in the future, it be sited and screened so it does not reduce the existing number of parking spaces.

Action and vote: the commission voted 4-0 to approve PC25-4 with six conditions. Roll call recorded Mister Jones: yes; Mister Fountain: yes; Mister Francis: yes; Mister Self: yes.

Clarifying details in the record: existing lot layout and 27 parking spaces, proposed client capacity (7–10 clients; applicant stated current capacity at about 10), hours of primary program operation (8 a.m.–3 p.m., weekdays), occasional monthly/quarterly staff training, and applicant’s fleet (two 9–10 passenger vans plus smaller vans). Staff noted that significant operational changes (substantive hours or capacity increases) would likely require further review by the commission.

The conditional use approval allows the applicant to proceed with relocation following building repairs and the pending purchase contract; the parties noted the property sale is pending the commission outcome. The planning commission record includes the staff report, the applicant’s program description, and one written public comment the commission received and reviewed prior to closing the hearing.
