Council moves Wright State‑area rezoning to second reading and approves property acquisition and hazard‑plan measures

Beavercreek — In a group of administrative and legislative actions, Beavercreek City Council moved the rezoning of roughly 8.9 acres near Wright State University (PUD 26-1) to a second reading and approved several resolutions to keep planned infrastructure and redevelopment projects on schedule.

Developer and Wright State University representatives described plans for a tightly conditioned CPUD along Colonel Glenn Highway to add campus-oriented dining and retail uses. Staff noted coordination with neighboring Fairborn is underway so the two jurisdictions’ regulations align. Council voted to move the rezoning ordinance to second reading, allowing more detailed review at a later meeting.

Council also approved Resolution 26-10 to begin the appropriation process for minor permanent and temporary right-of-way from Dog Dock LLC needed for the Grange Hall Road pedestrian improvement project. Staff explained negotiations have been ongoing and that moving forward with appropriation preserves project funding and schedule if negotiations stall.

Administrative actions included approval of a one-year extension for an existing specific site plan and adoption of the Greene County 2025 natural hazard mitigation plan — a required action to maintain FEMA funding eligibility. Council asked staff to confirm a small data point in the plan’s drought table and to report back to council.

The motions were carried by voice votes or second readings as noted in the minutes; no additional public hearing testimony was prompted on these items.
