Development proposals are under review in Pasco County for a new indoor pickleball facility at the proposed Wesley Chapel Athletic Club. Located on Old Pasco Road near Interstate 75, the facility would span approximately 49,950 square feet, making it significantly larger than existing indoor clubs in the Tampa Bay area. While pickleball is the primary focus, developers may also incorporate badminton and other racquet sports based on community interest. The site plan also includes retail space, ample parking, and potential medical offices, though such use has not been confirmed in the non-binding proposal. Before construction can proceed, rezoning and amendments to the county comprehensive plan are required to change the current land-use designation. Transportation assessments indicate the development would generate over 3,000 new vehicle trips daily, though road widening improvements are expected to help manage congestion.
Key Points:
- The project would cover a 6.87-acre parcel on the west side of Old Pasco Road.
