Page 3 of 4 or Dennis Drive. Conditions of approval for the tennis court lighting further specify that the lights are prohibited from being on between 10 p.m. and 7.a.m. daily, with an automatic timer required to ensure adherence to this requirement. And, as detailed on Page 4 of 6 of the Planning Commission Agenda Report (Attachment 2), the applicant was also required to install screening vegetation, which has matured to a height of 6-9 feet since it was planted. Regarding the appellants’ ability to attend the prior appeal hearing, the PMC prescribes timelines for scheduling hearings for appeals (PMC 18.144.030), requiring such hearings to be scheduled within 40 days of the appeal being filed (August 4, 2025). While staff made its best effort to schedule the hearing at a time both the appellant and applicant were available, the hearing was ultimately scheduled on September 10, 2025, to meet the PMC timelines and staff’s reasonable ability to prepare the Agenda Report and provide the required public hearing notice during the 40-day period. Design Review Considerations and Conclusion PMC Section 18.20.030 sets forth the scope of review criteria to be addressed in reviewing projects subject to design review. These criteria are included in the draft Resolution (Exhibit A). As described, the Planning Commission denied the prior appeal and upheld the Zoning Administrator’s approval, based on the consideration of the proposed tennis court lighting conformance to the PUD approval, and design measures, supported by appropriate technical analysis, all of which indicate that the project would minimize potential off-site impacts to neighboring residences. As described in Exhibit A and based on the information and analysis provided in this Agenda Report, staff recommends the City Council make the required findings to affirm the Planning Commission's approval of ADR Case No. P25-0236 EQUITY AND SUSTAINABILITY Not applicable, as this item is a routine matter of City Business.
