SUBJECT: SPLN-23-03-000o66 — Panther National at Avenir — Golf Clubhouse
The following comments are based on the above referenced petition submitted to the City on
March 7, 2023 and found sufficient on March 10, 2023.
Planning and Zoning
On all applicable development plans, please remove the depicted boundary line of the
clubhouse. Staff recommends the Applicant identify the proposed affected area
associated with development of the clubhouse within the Golf Course Tract 1. Please
ensure that the affected area boundary includes all improvements associated with the
proposed clubhouse. Please be advised that should the property be subdivided, in the
future, Code Section 78-592 would apply.
2. Staff has concerns regarding the circulation within the subject site. There are
opportunities to enhance the design of the entrance into the site, and circulation for
vehicles, golf carts, and pedestrians. See also Engineering comment *46.
3. On all applicable development plans, please provide a boundary line for the future
golf villas. In addition, please ensure the naming convention for this portion of the
clubhouse site is consistent across all development plans. For example, the Site Plan
identifies this area of the site as "Future Golf Villas", the Landscape Plan identifies it
as "Future Villas", and the Civil Engineering plans identify it as "Future Residential
Units".
4. Please provide a signed -and -sealed parking study providing justification for the
parking demand and analysis for the proposed number of parking spaces, and
specifically to justify golf cart parking.

Comment Memo

5. The incorporation of the future residential villas on the clubhouse site further
emphasizes the relationship between the clubhouse site and the Lifestyle Center
parcel. Staff strongly encourages the Applicant to enhance the intersection
connecting these two parcels on Panther National Boulevard to provide for traffic
calming and pedestrian connectivity.
6. The Applicant has previously stated that the use of golf carts throughout the Panther
National community will be promoted. The current site design provides for a long
parking row for golf carts at the northern end of the parking lot and at the rear of the
clubhouse. To minimize golf cart and vehicle conflicts, Staff suggests the Applicant
explore providing a golf cart only parking area that is separate from the vehicle
parking areas.
7. At the drop-off area on the west side of the proposed clubhouse, please provide a curb
(i.e. valley curb), bollards, planters, or other type of physical barrier to prevent
vehicles from driving on to the 12-foot-wide and 25-foot-wide sidewalks next to the
drop-off area. (Planning and Zoning, Engineering, Police)
8. The Applicant has incorporated a tower element and identified it as a "viewing/wine
tower". Please provide more information as to the use and operation of this amenity.
9. Please be advised that the height of "viewing/wine tower" exceeds the maximum
allowable building height pursuant to the Avenir Development Standards and Code
Section 78-184. Please address.
lo. Please remove any development plan sheets that were approved with the Golf Course
Site Plan petition (SPLN-20-12-000043) and are not being modified with the subject
petition.
11. Within the Site Data on Site Plan sheet 1, please update the petition number (SPLN-
23-03-000066).
12. The building square footage is inconsistent between the Site Data, on Site Plan sheet
1, and the architecture plans. Please address.
13. On Site Plan sheet 1, the Open Space calculations within the Site Data is inconsistent
with other development plans. Please address.
14. On Site Plan sheets 1 and 2, please remove the "Littoral Planting Requirements" table.
This information should be provided on the Landscape plan. See also Forestry
comment #41.
15. Please update the golf course layout based on the most recent construction plans. See
also, Forestry comment #41.
