NBCC Tennis Property
Pickleball Courts
Entitlement Amendment
Project Description
The 145-acre Newport Beach Country Club Planned Community District (PCD) is in
the Newport Center Planning Area and is comprised of the existing Golf Club
Property and the Tennis Club Property, both located in the Ll Statistical Area of the
2006 General Plan.
The Tennis Property Sub -Area is represented as Anomaly 46 in the General Plan Land
Use Element with a Land Use Designation of MU-H3/PR with a California Coastal
Development Permit and all subject to a Development Agreement. The existing
approved entitlements also consist of NBCC Planned Community Zoning with the
Bungalows & Lofts, Villas, and Tennis Club/Spa/Fitness PC Sub -Areas and Vesting
Tentative Tract Map No. 15347.
The approved entitlements consist of 63,336 square feet of nonresidential floor area
(0.43 FAR) for the hotel units, concierge & guest center, tennis & pickleball
clubhouse, and spa & fitness center, and 20,632 total square feet of residential floor
area (0.14 FAR) for five residential dwelling units. The proposed density/intensity of
both uses comply with the FAR limitations identified in the Coastal Land Use Plan.
The entitlements also include 8 tennis courts.
Proposed Amendment Project:
• Seven (7) of the eight (8) approved tennis courts will be preserved as twenty-
six (26) pickleball courts as shown on the revised Master Plan.
Impacts:
A parking study is being conducted by LSA to analyze the parking impacts of 26
pickleball courts. This parking study is expected to be completed on or around
October 31, 2022.
The Fiscal and Economic Impact Study, completed by Kosmont in August 2022,
indicated that the approved entitlements will have a total economic impact of
$26,315,091 annually for the City of Newport Beach and support 179 jobs. This also
results in $1,267,200 in annual tax revenue for the City of Newport Beach.
The proposed project is consistent with and supportive of the policies and goals of the
Land Use Element of the 2006 General Plan and the certified Local Coastal Plan.
Vesting Tentative Tract Map 15347 as presented, addresses relevant findings within
Sec. 19.12.70 of Title 19 (Subdivisions) of the Municipal Code, and is consistent with
the Tennis Club residential, boutique hotel and ancillary commercial uses permitted by
the MU-H3/PR designation.
Implementation:
The NBCC Tennis Property will be ground leased to a hotel developer who will be
required to build the planned improvements substantially similar to the site
improvements, Tennis & Pickleball Clubhouse, Spa & Fitness Center, and Villas A &
B shown on the Construction Documents, and the Bungalows and Lofts shown on the
Schematic Drawings. The developer will also be required to complete these
improvements in one phase and to maintain the current operator of the Tennis &
Pickleball Club, Grand Slam, as the operating Tenant. There will be no physical
change to the 26 existing pickleball courts to be legally approved by this entitlement.
Grand Slam will keep the Club open during construction per the Phasing Plans.

Dear Seimone:

(949)251-2025
Attached is the revised Master Site Plan for the NBCC Tennis Property reflecting pickleball
courts replacing all of the previously proposed tennis courts, except for the new Bollettieri
Center Court. The attached Master Site Plan shows 26 pickleball courts, with 4 of the existing
pickleball courts changed to 2 stadium pickleball courts per the request of Grand Slam/Sean.
We retained LSA Associates to do a parking study to determine the number of parking spaces
needed for pickleball courts. Ken Wilhelm of LSA confirmed again that there is no data
nationally for parking count for pickleball courts. Therefore, LSA is conducting a survey at the
Tennis & Pickleball Club to determine the number of parking spaces needed per pickleball court.
We expect to have the parking survey completed within 2 weeks which would give LSA the
necessary parking data to finish their formal report. Plan B Amendment has 38 surplus parking
spaces plus the additional 30 Corporate Plaza -West parking spaces Grand Slam has obtained for
use on weekdays and the 554 Corporate Plaza -West parking spaces on weekends.
All the best,
Jonathan Bailey
