Body
Background:
The Persimmon Club is a new business that is proposed at 8835 Davis Blvd.
In the Commercial (C) zoning district, a Specific Use Permit (SUP) is required to operate an indoor entertainment facility.
Site Design:
The Persimmon Club will occupy a proposed 6,000 square-foot building at 8835 Davis Boulevard.
On September 29, 2023, a Site Plan was approved for 8831 Davis and 8835 Davis. 8831 Davis was completed and fully built out, while 8835 Davis was not completed. The Applicant proposes to build a “twin” of the existing building at 8835 Davis. Exterior materials, architectural elevations, building orientation, signage, and lighting will match as closely as possible to the existing building.
The Unified Development Code (UDC) parking requirement for “Commercial Amusement (Indoor)” is three spaces per 1000 square-feet of gross floor area, bringing the total requirement for this applicant to 18. There are approximately 44 parking spaces provided on the property.
Business Details:
The Applicant has stated The Persimmon Club is a member-driven golf performance club. The business will offer simulator-enabled practice, professional instruction, fitness/mobility and Pilates programming, short game development, private pro-studio access, quiet rooms for work calls and meetings, and a private large meeting room for groups. All activities will be indoors.
The business will have at least 1 employee on-site.
