Commission forwards Destination Pickleball rezoning to City Council with conditions
Summary
The commission recommended approval of a planned development zoning for Destination Pickleball near Texas Parkway, imposing conditions on allowable uses, setbacks, landscaping and parking and forwarding the application to City Council for final action.
The Missouri City Planning and Zoning Commission on Dec. 10 voted to forward a planned development rezoning for Destination Pickleball to City Council with staff-recommended conditions including building setbacks, landscaping buffers along Texas Parkway, parking limits, and a list of excluded retail uses.
Staff said the roughly 3-acre site is largely consistent with the 2017 comprehensive plan and the ongoing plan update; staff recommended restricted LC-3 retail uses, indoor and outdoor sports and recreational facility uses with accessory food and alcohol sales limited to accessory restaurant/cafe use, and exclusions of certain uses such as standalone packaged-liquor stores, auto repair, car washes and gun sales.
Applicant Cindy Lou, the proprietor, described the project as a community-focused pickleball facility with 12 indoor courts, one roofed outdoor championship court, lounge and cafe space, coaching and programming, and a projected regular daily patronage "between 100 and 200 visitors a day" on typical days. "We expect to draw players from the greater Houston metropolitan area as well and hopefully make Missouri City proud," she said.
Commissioners focused questions on parking, occupancy and hours of operation. Staff and the applicant said the plan shows 91 parking spaces, and staff proposed limiting maximum occupancy to a figure closer to just over 400 (staff indicated exact occupancy calculations are to be finalized to align with minimum parking standards). The commission closed the public hearing and voted to approve the plan development application with conditions and forward a positive recommendation to City Council.
The item will return to City Council for final action at a later meeting date; the Planning & Zoning Commission's vote was a recommendation based on the conditions discussed at the Dec. 10 hearing.
