STAFF ANALYSIS:
FILE NO.: Z -5055-F
On May 16, 1989, the Planning Commission approved the original conditional
use permit to allow for development of the Chenal Country Club on this R-2
zoned, 22+ acre tract. The approved plan allowed for the multi -phase
development of facilities including a club house, pool, tennis courts, putting
greens and parking. The C.U.P. for the adjacent golf course had been previously
approved. Since the date of the original approval, there have been several
revisions to the plan. All of the subsequent changes involved relocating
elements or expanding buildings; all within the 22+ acre tract. Although most
elements of the plan have been completed, some are yet undeveloped; including
some of the parking and tennis courts.
The applicant is requesting an additional modification to the approved plan. The
pool and tennis building which had been shown west of the pool is now to be
relocated to the north side of the pool and will be used as a snack bar with
kitchen. Two additions are planned to the clubhouse to accommodate additional
locker areas, a fitness area and expansion of dining facilities. No changes are
proposed to other elements of the plan. The clubhouse expansion will add
23,000 square feet. The new poolhouse/snackbar building is 1,650 square feet
and the pool and tennis building which is being removed from the plan is 8,500
square feet.
Staff is supportive of the request to allow for modifications within the existing
Chenal Country Club property. To staffs knowledge, there are no outstanding
issues. There is no bill of assurance issue.
