Summary
Committee members asked about the status of the Gibbins pickleball courts and a proposed indoor facility; staff said the Gibbins ribbon-cutting is scheduled for Sept. 8 and the indoor project has not yet applied for a building permit and needs design changes to meet local standards.
Council members asked for an update on local pickleball facilities. Mayor Papa Pecanci said the Gibbins courts are on track for a ribbon-cutting at 1 p.m. on Sept. 8. Community development staff said a proposed indoor pickleball facility has not yet submitted a building permit and that the project's building design would not meet the city's commercial architectural standards in its current form.
Nick Bond said site-planning concerns and a building design described by staff as "a big metal building without windows or articulation" would require revision to comply with Port Orcharddesign standards. Staff said the applicant revised some site elements but had not filed for a building permit as of the meeting. No formal action was taken.
