Written with the help of AI from the Beavercreek Planning Commission agenda, Wednesday, November 4, 2026 and the meeting video.
What commissioners took up
This recap is based on the meeting video and the agenda. The Beavercreek Planning Commission met Nov. 4 at 6 p.m. with two public hearings: PUD 26-1 SSP #2, the Raider Row Multi-Tenant Building, and PC 26-6 ASRA, American Legion Post 763. A PUD is a planned unit development, a custom zoning district. An ASRA is an administrative site plan review, a check of a project’s site plan against city standards.
Raider Row: a commissioner moved to approve the specific site plan with 19 attached conditions, and the commission held a roll call vote. The agenda materials do not include a record of the result, so this recap does not report an outcome.
American Legion Post 763: the video available ends while commissioners were discussing a proposed added condition, so the final action on that case is not covered here.
Raider Row Multi-Tenant Building
Woodard Development, 505 South Jefferson Street, Dayton, asked for approval to build a 7,994-square-foot multi-tenant retail building on 1.653 acres on the north side of Colonel Glenn Highway, about 300 feet east of Presidential Drive. The site sits just east of the Chick-fil-A that is under construction. The developer said he expects about four tenants, with entrances on the north and south sides and a drive-through routed around the south side so it does not block pedestrian access from Wright State on the north.
A city planning staff member said the site plan shows 84 parking spaces, with the building set back about 107 feet from Colonel Glenn Highway. The main access is from Presidential Drive, and there is no access to Colonel Glenn. A grass mound and buried utilities are why no sidewalk connects the site directly to Colonel Glenn.
Staff added a condition moving a planned cross-access point, which links this parcel to the vacant parcel to the east, from the southeast corner to the northeast corner. Staff said the change keeps the connection but keeps drive-through traffic from mixing with cars crossing from the east. Staff said the move costs about one parking space overall. Other conditions require a landscaping plan for the south-side patio as tenants move in. Staff recommended approval with the 19 conditions, saying the project meets PUD rules and adds landscaping and four-sided architecture to the Colonel Glenn corridor.
Commissioners asked about the south-side drive aisle and the drive-through. The developer said both the drive-through and the two-way aisle are 25 feet wide, and the drive-through will be marked with striping rather than curbing. He said no electric vehicle chargers are planned. One commissioner raised concerns about dumpster placement along Presidential Drive and the cross-access. Staff said dumpsters need a long straight approach for trash trucks and that the crosswalks would be painted, with thermoplastic markings an option.
On Chick-fil-A, the developer said moisture on that site was addressed with geotechnical work and the site was raised. He said construction is on schedule to finish around the end of the year and left any opening date to the company. He said the tenant mix will be heavy on food and beverage, aimed at Wright State students, faculty and staff, and that no ground signs are planned. A staff-proposed sign condition sets minimum standards in case tenants want ground signs later. The developer also said the remaining parcel to the east has not been planned and could hold a single- or multi-tenant building.
American Legion Post 763 addition
An architect for the Legion asked to build an 838-square-foot storage addition with a covered patio at the rear of the post at 3200 Dayton Xenia Road, on 0.6390 acres. He said it would replace two sheds, a fenced patio and an open dumpster. The dumpster would move to an enclosure that matches the building.
A staff member said the addition adds two rooms, one for storage and one for food and beverage service equipment. The building would be repainted from its current pink to an earth tone, and two parking spaces would be removed, taking the lot from 38 spaces to 36. Staff recommended approval with 11 conditions, including a maximum building capacity of 105 people tied to the parking count.
Commissioners asked how the covered patio would be used. The architect said it is meant as an outdoor patio, probably a smoking area, with a grill, and not for equipment storage. A commissioner proposed a 12th condition barring outside storage of mechanical equipment or vehicles without approval from the city planning and development department, and asked staff whether it would prohibit a grill. The video available ends before that proposal was resolved.
Public comment
The news editor of the Wright State student newspaper asked whether the soil problems at the Chick-fil-A site were resolved and when it would open, what tenants are planned and whether the building would be a strip mall or community-oriented, and whether Raider Row would stay a walkable area with raised sidewalks. The developer answered the soil, opening and tenant questions, and staff said crosswalks would be painted on.
Commissioners said they received one written letter in support of Raider Row, from Wright State’s public policy and external affairs office. No one spoke and no written comment was received on the American Legion case.
Items not covered in the video
The agenda also listed PUD 02-1 MOD 8/26, a major modification for The Greene pylon sign that was tabled in October, and subdivision S-26-5, Wrightwood Springs, Sec. 1. The video available for this recap ends before either item. The next meeting date was not mentioned.
