Zoning administrator approves four-day Major League Pickleball tournament with modified parking conditions
Summary
A four-day Major League Pickleball tournament at Lifetime was approved with the same off-site parking and shuttle requirements as the weeklong event; staff added conditions to avoid conflict with a nearby volleyball camp on overlapping dates.
San Clemente City Zoning Administrator Adam Octavia adopted a resolution on May 22 approving a temporary use permit for a four-day Major League Pickleball tournament at the Lifetime facility and required the same off-site parking and shuttle arrangements the city approved for the PPA event.
Project planner David Carrillo told the zoning administrator the Major League Pickleball event is scheduled June 26'29 with expected daily attendance of about 700 guests and operating hours of 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Staff noted that using the outlets for spectator parking and shuttle service would keep the site within the code's limit for special-activity days (the Lifetime site will have 11 special-activity days in 2025; the limit is 24).
Beaches, Parks and Recreation staff reported a partial overlap with a volleyball camp running June 23'27; staff included a condition prohibiting tournament parking on Calle Agula adjacent to the park on June 26 and 27 to reduce conflict between events. Carrillo said conditions otherwise mirror the previously approved temporary use permit.
Octavia found the project categorically exempt from CEQA under Guidelines section 15304 and adopted Resolution ZA25-013 approving Temporary Use Permit 25-195 for the Major League Pickleball tournament, with the same direction to reflect outlets parking as the primary spectator parking and to require finalized traffic-management and shuttle plans prior to the event.
