REQUEST: REVIEW OF ARCHITECTURAL AND LANDSCAPING PLANS
FOR CLUBHOUSE AND GOLF COURSE MAINTENANCE
FACILITY
LOCATION: WITHIN THE NORMAN GOLF COURSE, ON THE NORTH
SIDE OF AIRPORT BOULEVARD, BETWEEN MADISON
STREET AND MONROE STREET
ZONING: RL (LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL)
SURROUNDING
ZONING/LAND USES: NORTH: RL / PART OF NORMAN GOLF COURSE
SOUTH: RL / WEIKOPF GOLF COURSE
EAST: RL / PART OF NORMAN GOLF COURSE
WEST: RL / PART OF NORMAN GOLF COURSE
BACKGROUND:
The facilities are located within the Norman golf course, which is under construction.
In addition to the 18 hole golf course, the project will consist of a maximum of 365
residential units.
Clubhouse Project Request
The clubhouse is located near the center and contains 11,100 square of floor area.
The building is designed in a style described by the applicant as Australian territorial
and highlighted by a low sloped, dutch -gabled roof with dormer accents and wide
C:alrc rpt sdp 99-653 /,�
overhangs surrounding the perimeter of the building. The clubhouse includes a
proshop, cart storage, offices, restaurant with patio dining, and locker rooms. The
building has a central six sided core area with three radiating wings. The majority of
the one story high building is 18 feet high, with the exception of a false two story high
foyer in the center at 27'-3".
Building materials reflect the Australian territorial style consisting of beige 8" hardy -
plank colonial roughsawn horizontal siding, stacked 3" brownish -gold natural stone
wainscot, pilaster, and accent entry siding, brown wood stain for trim, trellis',
decking, and overhang post (with stone base), and tan with black accent concrete
paving and lintels. Most of the windows and doors will have wood trim surrounds.
The roof will be constructed of standing seam metal in "copper penney" color and
have a wood fascia.
The parking lot is on the north side of the clubhouse and contains permanent parking
for 109 cars. Overflow turf parking is shown to the north for an additional 120 cars.
The plans indicate 8,500 square feet of landscaping in the parking lot area.
A conceptual landscaping plan with a plant pallette has been submitted for the parking
lot area and around the clubhouse. The plants are primarily low water users or native.
Canopy trees are shown throughout the parking lot with palm trees used at the street
entry and immediately around the clubhouse. Entry monument signs are shown
adjacent to the street entry.
Maintenance Building Project Request
The two acre maintenance facility is located adjacent to Airport Boulevard, next to the
access street into the project. The maintenance building will contain 8,054 square
feet of floor space with adjacent covered patio area and canopy storage area. There
will be an equipment storage and repair area, offices, restrooms, and a break room in
the building. Outdoor facilities include material bins, fuel pumps, plant storage area,
and a small pump house.
The "L" shaped building and pump house are designed in the same Australian territorial
style as the clubhouse with materials and colors to match. The north and west facing
interior facing walls will use some exterior plaster with five metal roll -up doors in the
north wall. The one story maintenance building will be 19'-4" high. The 13 foot high
storage canopy will be located at the west end of the maintenance building adjacent
to Airport Boulevard. The canopy will be metal and painted to match the maintenance
building roof. The fascia will be two feet high with the bottom half beveled at a 45
degree angle.

C:alrc rpt sdp 99-653
Although a six foot high perimeter wall surrounds much of the site, along the south
and east sides of the maintenance building, the building wall will be exposed to the
street, and replace the perimeter wall.
A conceptual landscaping plan with plant pallette has been submitted indicating tree
and shrub locations. Generally, the perimeters shown heavy tree planting, especially
along the north property line, to screen the facility. The pallette is somewhat different
than that shown for the club house area. Plants are more lush and similar to those
used at PGA West.
FINDINGS:
As required by Section 9.210.010 (Site Development Permits) of the Zoning Code, the
Committee is required to review and comment on the following findings:
Architectural Design- The architectural design of the project, including but not limited
to the architectural style, scale, building mass, materials, colors, architectural details,
roof style, and other architectural elements are compatible with the surrounding
development and with the quality of design prevalent in the city in that the proposed
construction is attractive and will set the tone for development of the specific plan
area, which presently has no residences constructed or approved as of this time.
Site Design- The site design of the project, including but not limited to project entries,
interior circulation, pedestrian and bicycle access, pedestrian amenities, screening of
equipment and trash enclosures, exterior lighting, and other site design elements are
compatible with surrounding development and with the quality of design prevalent in
the city in that design elements have been coordinated to ensure compatibility between
proposed buildings and pedestrian elements.
Landscape Design- Project landscaping, including but not limited to the location, type,
size, color, texture, and coverage of plant materials, has been designed so as to
provide relief, complement buildings, visually emphasize prominent design elements
and vistas, screen undesirable views, provide a harmonious transition between
adjacent land uses and between development and open space, and provide an overall
unifying influence, to enhance the visual continuity of the project, complement
surrounding the project area, ensuring lower maintenance and water use, provided
additional trees are provided adjacent to the storage canopy area and outdoor plant
area of the maintenance facility, and the maintenance area plant pallette is modified
to conform with that of the clubhouse area.
In conclusion, the findings needed to recommend approval of this request can be made
with the following conditions of approval.
