This comes over a month after the city’s planning commission voted unanimously recommended that the city council deny the company plans to rezone the land for a location with a drive-thru restaurant and fuel pumps.

A public hearing was held on the issue in Kettering in late October.

Ryan Homsi, Kettering City Planner, told News Center 7 last month that the proposal was “not in line with the comprehensive plan of the city.”

The decision from Kettering also came after Centerville voted against a similar proposal from Sheetz.
