Helotes council approves Slam Pickleball at 14108 Bandera Road
Summary
Council approved a proposal for Slam Pickleball, an indoor pickleball facility at 14108 Bandera Road, after a presentation described the plan and staff confirmed no zoning variances were required.
Helotes — The City Council approved item 9 on Jan. 22 to allow an indoor pickleball facility, Slam Pickleball, at 14108 Bandera Road.
An unnamed representative described the project as two connected buildings (B and C) forming indoor courts with one competition-style court and three practice courts, a soft court surface for players with joint issues, and a central concession selling mainly bottled beverages. The presenter said the operation would be a mix of membership and hourly rentals.
Council members said the project fits existing zoning with no additional variances required. Council member Sanders, after touring the facility, expressed enthusiasm and called the development a local benefit. "I'm excited that legacy will begin to reach its potential when it was built several years ago," Sanders said, praising the local developer involvement. Planning staff confirmed the item involved conceptual design only and no changes to previously approved zoning.
The council voted to approve item 9 as written.
What happens next: The applicant may proceed to implement the project consistent with the approved concept and any required building permits and inspections. (Council action: item 9 approved.)
