The City of Beavercreek will host a second open house for its Plan Beavercreek initiative on Tuesday, September 16, 2025, from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Beavercreek Senior Center, located at 3868 Dayton-Xenia Road. Residents are invited to review and share feedback on a draft of the city’s future land use map - a key component in shaping Beavercreek’s long-term vision for development, sustainability, and community character. City staff, along with project consultants ZoneCo and OHM Advisors, will be in attendance to answer questions and gather input from the community.
The open house is designed to gather additional community input, identify areas that may need clarification, and incorporate revisions before the plan is finalized. City staff emphasize that ongoing public engagement is essential to ensuring the plan reflects resident priorities.
“We are incredibly grateful to the more than 100 people who shared their feedback during our first open house and outreach efforts,” said Randy Burkett, the city’s planning and development director. “Their input has been essential in forming the direction of this project.”
Community feedback has been collected through a variety of outreach methods, including the first open house held in June, an online survey through the Plan Beavercreek website, and meetings with the project’s steering committee. Key themes from initial responses include the importance of managing growth, preserving green space, promoting walkable development, providing diverse and affordable housing, and encouraging redevelopment that honors the city’s existing character.
With this input, the project team has entered the fourth of five phases: developing the plan. This stage focuses on translating community feedback and data analysis into a comprehensive draft of the city’s land use plan. City staff and consultants, in collaboration with the steering committee, are working to define goals, develop a future land use map, refine district boundaries, and identify key focus areas that support thoughtful and cohesive growth.
The September 16 open house will give residents an opportunity to view the draft map and share their feedback. Comments gathered at the event will inform final revisions, which will then be presented to the steering committee. The final draft of the plan and accompanying map will be submitted to the Beavercreek Planning Commission and City Council for review and discussion, allowing for additional input before a digital copy of the final plan is delivered to the city.
Once the land use plan is adopted, the Plan Beavercreek project will transition to its final phase: updating the city’s zoning code to ensure alignment with the community’s goals and vision established from the creation of the land use plan.
By involving the public at every stage, the City of Beavercreek is working to ensure the city’s land use plan and zoning code reflect the community’s values, aspirations, and future needs, while also establishing clear and defensible solutions for long-term growth and development.
