REQUESTED ACTION
Major Site Plan Amendment - Ocean Village Pickleball Courts - 2400 S. Ocean Drive
SUMMARY
Project #: 23-07000026
This Major Site Plan application is the result of that reconsidered design and siting based on a sound study by an acoustic specialist, PSM LLC Pickleball Sound Mitigation, which is included in this Major Site Plan submittal as background and support for the Major Site Plan at the request of Staff. This Pickleball amenity has been designed to meet and exceed the City of Fort Pierce Code of Ordinances Sound Level Limitations (Section 26-40) for Residential Uses. While Section 26-40 sets a residential threshold of 60dB between the hours of 7:00 am and 11:00 pm, it was the POA’s direction to the acoustic specialist to design the courts to not exceed 50dB at the units nearest the proposed courts. The proposed site plan, landscaping and court buffering materials meet that higher standard, as discussed in the sound study by PSM LLC.
The Pickleball amenity includes:
• Five (5) Pickleball Courts
• Seating for 75 residents to watch or wait for open courts
• Shade sails to mitigate heat in the seating areas
• Bike Parking
• Landscaping to screen the fenced courts from view of residential units
• No lighting, as evening play will not be permitted
• Stormwater upgrades to address the new, impervious court area and paver seating area
