Pleasantview Planning Commission Holds Public Hearing on Back 9 Golf Franchise

The Planning Commission Meeting held on August 7 in Pleasant View, Weber County, focused on the development of a new franchise venture, Back 9 Golf. The meeting began with a question regarding the potential for retail sales or a pro shop within the facility. The franchise representative clarified that while they are starting to offer club fitting services, there are currently no plans for a full-scale commercial shop. However, they noted that if club fittings were to occur, sales tax would benefit Pleasant View if clubs were sold on-site.

Following this discussion, the commission moved to open a public hearing. Dean initiated the motion, which was seconded by Julie, and the motion passed unanimously. The public hearing allowed community members to voice their opinions and inquiries regarding the project.

During the hearing, a question arose about the possibility of serving food or having a restaurant at the facility. The representative confirmed that the space is not large enough to accommodate such services. However, it was suggested that patrons could bring their own food for events, a practice seen in similar venues.

Overall, the meeting provided clarity on the scope of the Back 9 Golf franchise and addressed community concerns regarding retail and food services. The commission will continue to evaluate the project as it progresses.
