Riverland West Sports and Recreation MPUD

Lives adjacent to the proposed site; says GL Homes sold homes on promises of a city park and asked the council to reject the rezoning.

Valencia Grove resident near the western berm urged GL to install noise mitigation fencing, citing 10-12 decibel increases measured near existing pickleball courts.

Said pickleball noise from dozens of outdoor courts would destroy the quality of life she moved to Riverland for; asked council not to pass the rezoning.

Asked why noise mitigation wasn't addressed, questioned the summer timing that keeps snowbird residents away, and warned of home value impacts.

Pointed to a GL Homes YouTube video announcing the sports club two weeks before the rezoning application and signage implying it's a done deal; asked for relocation away from homes.

Read a memo from an absent summering neighbor suggesting all pickleball courts be indoor, or outdoor courts placed farthest from homes with landscaping and walls as sound barriers.

Measured loud pickleball noise 300-400 feet from existing courts despite berms; asked that the zoning not be changed or the facility relocated.

Urged the council to slow growth, raise impact fees, stop being a 'yes city,' and stop accepting developer campaign donations.

President of the Grove residents group said GL 'sold us a dream' and questioned why the facility must infringe on existing homes when so much land is available.
