At-a-glance: Beavercreek council approves rezoning and conveyance, backs PACE and opioid settlements; several ordinances move to second reading
Summary
On Sept. 8 Beavercreek City Council approved a rezoning for a 121-home RPUD, approved a conveyance of city land for a bikeway right-of-way, approved a PACE resolution for Dayton Raiders swim club HVAC improvements, and voted to join two opioid-settlement resolutions; several energy and assessment ordinances were moved to second reading.
Beavercreek City Council took multiple formal actions on Sept. 8. Key outcomes included approval of a rezoning for a 121-home residential planned unit development, approval of a conveyance of a city-owned parcel needed for a bikeway right-of-way, approval of a petition to use property‑assessed clean energy (PACE) financing for the Dayton Raiders swim club HVAC project, and council authorization to join two national opioid‑settlement agreements. Council also moved several related ordinances to a second reading for later adoption.
Summary of actions (as recorded at the Sept. 8 meeting):
- Ordinance 25-15: Rezoned 54.2852 acres from R1/A1 to RPUD 25-4 to allow 121 residential units. Approved on voice vote.
- Ordinance 25-16: Declared certain city-owned property surplus and approved conveyance of land at the southwest corner of Grange Hall Road and Research Boulevard to secure a right-of-way for a planned bikeway. Approved on voice vote. Staff said dedicating the right-of-way now avoids future conflicts if the land sells before project construction.
- Resolution 25-21 and Ordinances 25-18 & 25-19: Council approved a resolution of necessity enabling a PACE (property assessed clean energy) petition for the Dayton Raiders swim club to finance HVAC upgrades, and moved the accompanying ordinances to second reading so the project can meet financing deadlines. Staff said the program imposes no cost on the city; assessments are placed on the property tax bill and repayment follows the property.
- Resolution 25-22: Authorized the city manager to execute documents to participate in the Purdue Pharma thirteenth amended chapter 11 plan of reorganization (U.S. Bankruptcy Court, SDNY, case number 19-23649). Approved by council vote.
- Resolution 25-23: Authorized city participation in the secondary manufacturers’ national opioid settlement (listing multiple corporate defendants in the settlement documents). Approved by council vote.
- Ordinance 25-14 (Grange Hall Road TIF): Moved to a second reading after a public hearing (separate, detailed discussion recorded); council directed staff to return with the ordinance for final adoption.
What this means: The PACE action allows a private property owner (Dayton Raiders) to finance energy-efficiency upgrades via third‑party financing repaid through a special assessment on the property tax bill; staff emphasized the city bears no financial liability. The opioid-settlement resolutions permit Beavercreek to accept its share of national settlements negotiated through bankruptcy and other agreements. The rezoning and conveyance actions clear land‑use and right‑of‑way issues needed for the Grange Hall development and a planned bikeway; the TIF ordinance remains under consideration and will return for final votes.
Ending: Most items were approved on voice votes; several ordinances were scheduled for second readings as required by statute or to meet financing timing. Council did not adopt any direct tax measures at the meeting.
