Beavercreek planning commission approves McDonald’s at Green Crossing with conditions
Summary
The commission approved PUD 541 major modification 4‑0 to allow a new 4,192‑sq.‑ft. McDonald’s at 4380 Indian Ripple Road, replacing a vacant Burger King; approval is subject to 20 staff‑recommended conditions and will proceed to city council.
The Beavercreek Planning Commission voted 4‑0 on Dec. 3 to approve a major modification (PUD 541 mod 11) allowing construction of a 4,192‑square‑foot McDonald’s at 4380 Indian Ripple Road, a redevelopment of the existing Burger King pad within the Green Crossing center.
Applicant Vanessa Stickel and McDonald’s construction manager Colin Wisniewski presented the site plan and elevations, saying the project would reuse much of the existing pad and conform the design to PUD requirements. "We believe this project is compliant reinvestment with an existing pad that aligns with Green Crossing and your conditions of approval," the applicant said while noting acceptance of the listed conditions.
City planner Colin Carville recommended approval subject to 20 conditions and explained the parking calculation: using staff methodology, the customer area yields a requirement of roughly 11 spaces plus one per employee on the largest shift; with an anticipated 10 employees on peak shift, staff rounded the minimum to 21 spaces and the applicant is providing 31 including three ADA spaces. "They are providing 31 spaces, which exceeds the requirement," Carville said.
Commissioners asked detailed questions about operational features including the trash enclosure gate material (applicant stated pressure‑treated wood), drive‑through stacking and three pickup windows, and whether stacking could encroach on handicap access during peak meal times. McDonald’s said the design includes a bypass lane and dedicated pull‑forward parking to reduce stack overflow, and staff noted city code and on‑street enforcement options if stacking affected public streets.
A commissioner moved to approve the site plan major modification with the 20 conditions; the motion was seconded by Mister Tarrant and adopted by roll call (Miss Colombo — yes; Mister Fountain — yes; Mister Meyer — yes; Mister Self — yes). The commission’s approval will be forwarded to city council for final action.
