Beavercreek approves McDonald’s plan at Green Crossing, subject to 20 conditions
Summary
The Planning Commission approved, by a 4–0 vote, a major modification to PUD 5 41 allowing a 4,192 sq ft McDonald’s at 4380 Indian Ripple Road; staff recommended approval with 20 conditions and commissioners asked about drive-through stacking and ADA access.
Beavercreek — The Beavercreek Planning Commission voted 4–0 to approve a major modification to PUD 5 41 that will allow construction of a new McDonald’s at 4380 Indian Ripple Road (Green Crossing). The proposal calls for a 4,192-square-foot restaurant on about 0.9 acres that will replace the vacant Burger King on the site; approval is subject to 20 conditions listed in the staff resolution.
Applicant Vanessa Stickel and McDonald’s construction manager Colin Wisniewski presented site plans showing updated elevations, a screened trash enclosure, roof parapet details and a two-window drive-through with a third pull-forward window intended to keep stacking moving. "We believe this project is compliant reinvestment with an existing path that aligns with Green Crossing and your conditions of approval, and we respectfully request your support," Stickel said.
City planner Colin Carville told the commission staff found the proposal consistent with the PUD and calculated parking demand using the city standard (1 space per 100 sq ft of customer area, plus one per employee on largest shift). Staff said the building includes about 1,036 sq ft of customer area, yielding a 21-space minimum requirement; the applicant proposed 31 spaces (including three ADA stalls), which staff said exceeds the requirement. Carville recommended approval "subject to the 20 conditions" enumerated in the staff packet.
Commissioners asked detailed questions about dumpster gate materials, window-signage coverage limits (code limits window signage to 50% of window area), service-door locations, CO2 closet placement and whether peak-hour drive-through stacking could interfere with handicap access. The McDonald’s representative said stacking would be managed with a bypass lane, pull-forward parking stalls and the third window to reduce queueing into the public drive aisle; staff suggested adding pavement markings or arrows to direct overflow into adjacent lot areas if needed.
A commissioner moved to approve the specific site-plan modification with the 20 conditions; the motion passed on a 4–0 roll call (Palumbo, Fountain, Meyer, Self voting yes). The commission noted final construction and permits remain subject to city council and administrative approvals where applicable.
