Washington Township officials are reviewing a proposal that could bring a second United Dairy Farmers restaurant to the Miami Valley. The company submitted a zoning application to reclassify roughly 18 acres at 1960 Austin Road, a site that would also accommodate an automotive fueling station.
Details of the proposed development
The application calls for the land to be rezoned to a permitted use that allows both a fast‑food restaurant and a fuel pump facility. Access to the property would be provided from Success Lane and Washington Church Road, with a secondary entrance from Austin Boulevard, according to the township’s zoning records.
Impact on the community
If approved, the new United Dairy Farmers would become the second location in Washington Township, joining the existing restaurant off Far Hills Avenue. Residents can expect additional dining options and convenient fuel services, which align with the township’s goal of supporting local businesses and providing amenities for families and commuters.
Public hearing and next steps
The Washington Township Zoning Commission will hold a public hearing on November 17 to consider the rezoning request. Community members are encouraged to attend and voice any concerns or support for the project. The commission’s decision will determine whether the development proceeds.
Why this matters
Local zoning decisions like this one directly affect the character and economic vitality of the township. By reviewing the proposal in an open forum, officials uphold transparency and give residents a chance to weigh in on growth that could create jobs and increase tax revenue while preserving the area’s family‑friendly atmosphere.
We will continue to monitor the outcome of the hearing and report on any further developments regarding United Dairy Farmers’ expansion in Washington Township.
