Beavercreek City Council took several formal actions on zoning, budgets and infrastructure priorities in a single meeting, approving site plans and budget amendments, advancing transportation project submissions and amending park rules to prohibit smoking and vaping.
Major land‑use approvals
- PUD 88‑18 (Bubba’s 33): Council approved a major modification permitting a new 7,105‑square‑foot Bubba’s 33 restaurant at 2799 Center Drive (the former TGI Bridal site). Planning staff said the developer revised landscaping and circulation; planning commission had recommended approval with 13 conditions. Outcome: approved (motion and second; voice vote). Identifier: PUD 88‑18.
- PC 25‑7 (Tutti’s Bar & Grill): Council approved an administrative site plan review for a 1,350‑square‑foot covered patio at 3982 Colonel Glenn Highway. Planning commission and staff recommended approval; the applicant indicated the covered patio is not an enclosed space and will comply with separation requirements for outdoor fire features if used. Outcome: approved (motion and second; voice vote). Identifier: PC 25‑7.
Budget and appropriations
- Ordinance 25‑21 (supplemental appropriations and revenue certifications for FY2025): The council approved multiple amendments to appropriations and interfund transfers to address higher auditor/treasurer fees, liability insurance increases, ARPA fund expenditures, senior center ADA grant receipts and other items. Staff said ARPA appropriations were higher because stormwater and other capital projects were carried in ARPA rather than general fund. Outcome: approved in a single reading by roll call. Vote (recorded yes): Council member Curran; Council member Little; Council member Garcia; Council member Schwartz; Vice Mayor Bales; Mayor Adams.
Transportation and capital projects
- Resolution 25‑28 (PDAC submissions): Council authorized submission of two regional interchange projects to the Dayton Regional Priority Development and Advocacy Committee (PDAC): the Grange Hall Road/I‑675 (“folded diamond” alternative) application (detailed design, environmental, right‑of‑way and construction; estimated total roughly $51.3 million) and a request for Factory Road at US‑35 design/right‑of‑way funding (application request $15 million; full interchange previously estimated much higher). Staff said they will seek letters of support from regional partners and may request ODOT to be recipient organization for federal funds. Outcome: approved.
- Resolution 25‑29 (Dayton‑Senior Road resurfacing): Council approved an interagency agreement to participate with Greene County for resurfacing Dayton‑Senior Road. Greene County will lead and seek federal funds; the city’s estimated local share is about $26,000–$125,000 depending on the reimbursement structure. Outcome: approved.
Grants and equipment
- Resolution 25‑30 (ODOT transit grant): Council authorized staff to submit an ODOT grant application for state/federal transit funds to replace two senior‑center vans. The request is for $256,000 with a 20% local match of about $64,000; staff said the match will come from senior‑center donations and a Greene County Council on Aging grant. Outcome: approved.
Parks rule change
- Ordinance 25‑20 (rewrite of Chapter 95, Parks and Recreation): Staff presented a substantially revised parks code that modernizes definitions (electric‑assist vehicles, unmanned aircraft systems, etc.), aligns park firearms language with Ohio Revised Code, clarifies alcohol permitting for events, and establishes drone guidance tied to FAA rules. Council amended the draft to prohibit smoking and vaping in parks by adding language to Section 95.32(g) and moved the ordinance to a second reading. Outcome: amendment adopted; ordinance moved to second reading.
Licenses and other administrative actions
- Liquor permits: Council accepted two liquor permit notifications from the Ohio Division of Liquor Control without comment — a new permit for 7134 C Street LLC d/b/a Scramblers and a transfer for Stitches and Scars LLC. Outcome: accepted without comment.
How council recorded votes and conditions
Most land‑use and administrative approvals were adopted by motion and voice vote after public hearings or staff presentations; the supplemental appropriations ordinance (25‑21) was adopted by recorded roll call (all yes votes recorded in the minutes as noted above). Several approvals incorporated planning‑commission recommendations or conditions; Bubba’s 33 was approved with the staff‑listed conditions for site plan compliance.
What to watch next
- Staff will follow up on right‑of‑way and easement research on stream ownership for stormwater projects (from a separate drainage study presented the same evening) and pursue funding sources for high‑cost stormwater work. - The parks ordinance will return for a second reading with the smoking/vaping prohibition incorporated; staff flagged the need for public notification and implementation details (signage and enforcement).
