Planning Commission discusses pickleball courts and noise concerns for new subdivision

The Brentwood City Commission meeting on May 22, 2025, focused on the development of a new residential area that will feature amenities including pickleball and tennis courts. The discussion highlighted the importance of ensuring that potential buyers are aware of these facilities, with developers promising to include information in their advertising materials.

Commission members expressed concerns about noise levels associated with pickleball courts, particularly for residents living nearby. A suggestion was made to require the use of equipment that minimizes noise, as approved by the U.S. Pickleball Association, to help mitigate complaints from homeowners. This recommendation would be directed to the homeowners' association (HOA) for consideration.

The meeting also addressed the timing of the development, noting that the first section of the project will be completed before the next phase begins. This approach aims to provide early access to the amenities for residents in the northern section of the development.

Additionally, the commission discussed the upcoming Parade of Homes event scheduled for October 4-19, which will showcase the new residential area and its features. The meeting concluded with a focus on the importance of balancing community amenities with the concerns of existing residents.
