34-891 — Recreational facility (private membership tennis and racquet club) with ancillary restaurant and bar in Palm Springs, FL
This case seeks approval of a Special Exception Use modification and variance for the Court Club, a private membership tennis and racquet club with ancillary restaurant and bar on 5.07 acres at 1591 Kirk Road. The applicant is requesting a variance from distance separation requirements (500 feet from schools and 1,000 feet from residential uses) because the property is adjacent to Palm Springs Community Middle School and residential neighborhoods. The project was previously approved on March 18, 2025, and this application clarifies operational characteristics as a private membership club to facilitate liquor licensing.
