Council approves combined development plan for Chipotle at Brant Pike and Miami Valley Way
Summary
The Huber Heights City Council approved a combined basic and detailed development plan for a roughly 2,300–2,385 sq ft Chipotle at Brant Pike and Miami Valley Way (CBDP 26-11). Planning staff and the applicant said the site will share Casano's driveway, include about 31 parking spaces, and a slightly taller entrance sign; council voted 8–0 to adopt the ordinance after waiving a second reading.
Huber Heights City Council on June 8 approved a combined basic and detailed development plan (CBDP 26-11) for a new Chipotle near the intersection of Brant Pike and Miami Valley Way, identified as parcel P70039120138. Planning staff told council the restaurant would be about 2,300–2,385 square feet, provide roughly 31 parking spaces, and share an existing driveway with the neighboring Casano's; staff recommended approval with two conditions: installation of a bike rack per the Brant Pike Revitalization Overlay District and compliance with fire-department requirements.
"The plan significantly conforms to the Brant Pike overlay standards," planning staff member Aaron Sorrell said during the public hearing, noting staff worked with the applicant to adjust tree locations and landscaping. Jonathan Evans of Evans Engineering, representing Blaze Properties Huber Heights LLC, told council the applicant had no objections to the staff conditions and described the Chipotle lane as a prepaid pickup window. Adjacent property owner Gloria Smith, who owns the Casano's building, asked about construction staging and whether her customers could use the shared curb cut; staff and the applicant said construction staging would primarily use the new curb cut and that the shared driveway would remain available after construction.
Council waived the second reading and adopted the ordinance by roll call, 8–0. Council members asked about timing and next steps; staff said the developer must record a plat, complete the subdivision and close on the property before filing building permits. The planning commission had unanimously recommended approval of the revised plans dated May 11 with the two conditions listed above.
