6/3/2026 Beavercreek Planning Commission Meeting

The City of Beavercreek Planning Commission held a meeting on June 3, 2026, primarily focused on a conditional use application (case PC26-2) filed by Beaver Creek Lodging LLC for the Birch Hill Hotel property. The applicant sought approval to operate the property as an apartment hotel, a use conditionally permitted in the B3 zoning district, with a hybrid model proposed to address parking concerns. Extensive testimony was provided by the applicant and property management regarding operational history, police call data, parking capacity, and compliance with new licensing regulations, including a 182-day occupancy limit for hotel rooms. The Planning Commission discussed the disproportionate number of police dispatch calls related to the property compared to other hotels, the impact on surrounding properties, and the implications of the new licensing ordinance. After deliberation, the Commission voted 4-1 to approve a resolution denying the conditional use application based on the detrimental effect on surrounding properties and city resources. Additionally, the Commission appointed the vice chair as the representative to the Beavercreek Community Reinvestment Area Housing Board and discussed scheduling a training session for the board members.
