GENERAL DESIGN GUIDELINES FOR TYPICAL LOW WATER-USAGE IRRIGATION SYSTEM:
THE IRRIGATION SYSTEM SHALL CONSIST OF A LOW VOLUME TYPE DESIGN, IMPLEMENTING
THE USE OF DRIP LINE, OR POINT SOURCE EMITTERS FOR SHRUB PLANTING, AND BUBBLER TYPE NOZZLES FOR TREE IRRIGATION. ‘HYDROZONING’, SEPARATING PLANT MATERIAL BASED ON
WATER USE (LOW, MODERATE OR HIGH) SHALL BE INCORPORATED AS PART OF THE IRRIGATION DESIGN. USE OF FILTERS, PRESSURE REGULATION, CHECK VALVES AND OTHER
WATER EFFICIENT COMPONENTS, SUCH AS RAIN SENSORS WILL CONTRIBUTE TO SYSTEM EFFICIENCY AS WELL. WEATHER BASED 'SMART' CONTROLLERS (USING CURRENT OR
HISTORICAL WEATHER DATA) SHALL BE USED FOR IRRIGATION SCHEDULING, AIDING IN
IRRIGATING ONLY WHEN NEEDED, IN TURN CONTRIBUTING TO WATER CONSERVATION AND OVERALL PLANT HEALTH.

Tennis Court Adequacy
Proposed Tennis Program
• 10 regulation tennis courts
• 225 total members
• 22.5 members per court
Industry & Peer Context
• Planning and facility studies indicate clubs operate sustainably at significantly higher ratios (up to 60 members per court) than proposed.
• A ratio of approximately 22–25 members per court reflects low-intensity use and ample court availability.
Comparable Southern California Precedent
• Los Angeles Tennis Club, one of the most historic, prestigious, and exclusive private tennis clubs in Southern California, operates at approximately 25 members per court, demonstrating that this ratio is consistent with high-quality, private club standards.
Conclusion
• At 22.5 members per court, the proposed tennis facilities provide more than adequate capacity to serve the planned membership, with sufficient availability during peak and off-peak periods.
Huntington Club Improvements
• Will generate $500,000+ of annual revenue to the City through local sales tax and use tax
• Planning Staff spent hundreds of hours to make unanimous Finding and Recommendation for Approval
• Planning Commission voted unanimously 7-0 to approve the Plan • Plan is desired by the property owner, Golf Realty Fund • Plan is desired by the Tenant and Club management, Camaraderie Clubs
• Will enhance and elevate the Club and Member experience
