Commission authorizes Sunday permit for La Puerta Sports Park on May 31
Summary
Following staff review and neighborhood notice, the commission unanimously approved a one‑day Sunday permit for Claremont Girls Fast Pitch to use La Puerta Sports Park on May 31, citing municipal code requirements and no public objections during the notice period.
Staff described a request from Claremont Girls Fast Pitch to use La Puerta Sports Park on Sunday, May 31, for a softball tournament and recommended issuing a permit after required public notice.
Legal and procedural context Eric I., recreation and human services manager, told the commission that ordinance 94‑15 (Title 11 of the Claremont Municipal Code) governs Sunday use of La Puerta Sports Park and requires notice to residences within 300 feet at least 10 days before the meeting. Staff said the park can accommodate up to about 10 teams (roughly 120 participants) and that the last Sunday permit of this type was issued in 2011.
Neighborhood notice and response Commissioners asked whether neighbors had been notified and what feedback was received. Staff said residences within 300 feet were notified with the date, time and location; no phone inquiries or public objections were received.
Motion and approval Commissioner Roselle moved to accept the staff recommendation and authorize the Recreation and Human Services Department to issue the permit; Commissioner Scott Tu seconded. The commission approved the permit unanimously.
Next steps Staff will issue the permit and the event is scheduled for Sunday, May 31, from 8 a.m. to approximately 7 p.m.
