Palm Springs Surf Club gets Planning Commission Approval
Pono Acquisition Partners LLC, the group behind the Palm Springs Surf Club, presented more details of their grand plan to the Palm Springs Planning Commission last week. The Commission approved, so Cheyne Magnusson and the rest of the team will move forward with design and construction.
The presentation included some beautiful new renderings from Gracia Studio.
The 5-0 vote to approve the project came with conditions around noise pollution, architecture and building material reviews.
The approval meeting also touched on concerns about water use, but Eric Munoz, chief development officer on the project, addressed those by pointing out that the Club will use less water than the previous property inhabitants (Wet n’ Wild).
Local high school students who are part of the East Valley Board Riders also attended the meeting and spoke out in favor of the project.
The $50 million project will cover 21 acres. Outside of the state-of-the-art wave pool (exact technology TBD), the Club will feature a lazy river, children’s play area, gym, spa, restaurant, and other amenities to keep everyone entertained outside the wave pool.
Cheyne and the team hope to be pumping waves for public use in 2020.
