1107 Jamboree Rd (APN: 440-132-40)
Pursuant to a ground lease with WRC Newport LLC, effective July 27, 2023, Champion Management
Group, Inc. (“Applicant”) will assume control of the six tennis courts and approximately 14 parking
spaces located at 1107 Jamboree Rd (APN: 440-132-40), shaded in red on the aerial photograph below
(“Project Site”). In addition to the 14 parking spaces located on the Project Site, the ground lease
includes 43 dedicated parking spaces located in the adjacent Hyatt parking lot, as shown on attached
Exhibit A, as well as access to overflow parking spaces as needed (e.g., for special events) located in the
Hyatt surface parking lot at the northwest corner of Jamboree Road and Back Bay Drive.
The Project Site, together with the property to the north (APN: 440-132-48), previously operated as a
single tennis club under Use Permit No. 1697. That club was originally known as The John Wayne Tennis
Club and is currently known as the Palisades Tennis Club (“Palisades”). The Applicant proposes to
continue the existing tennis operations on the six tennis courts comprising the Project Site, as follows:
• Use Permit No. 1697 – Applicant’s continued tennis use of the Project Site is subject to, and will
comply with, Use Permit No. 1697 and its conditions.
• Parking – The Applicant will have the exclusive use of 57 parking spaces combined between the
Project Site and the Hyatt surface parking lot located south of, and adjacent to, the Project site.
In addition, the Applicant has access to overflow parking spaces as needed (e.g., for special
events) located in the Hyatt surface parking lot at the northwest corner of Jamboree Road and
Back Bay Drive.
• Palisades Tennis Club Parking – The Palisades property includes no parking spaces. Palisades
has historically relied on the Hyatt for parking through a lease agreement. The existing parking
lease agreement between Palisades and Hyatt has expired. We understand that Palisades and
Hyatt are currently negotiating a new parking agreement that would provide adequate parking
spaces for Palisades’ remaining 9 full size tennis courts and 1 modified ball machine court.
However, this new agreement is not yet finalized.
• Hours of Operation – Tennis instruction and play will occur between 8:00 am and 8:30 pm,
daily. Use Permit No. 1697 allows for operation between 7:00 am and 12:00 am, daily.
• Special Events – Any special events (e.g., tournaments) are subject to, and will secure, a Special
Event Permit from the City.
• Affiliation with the Hyatt Hotel – Tennis players will have access to the Hyatt’s restroom
facilities and Hyatt guests will have fee-based access to the Applicant’s tennis courts.
• Affiliation with the Palisades Tennis Club - The Applicant and Palisades have no formal
affiliation.
• Physical Improvements – No physical improvements are proposed in connection with the
Applicant’s continued tennis operations on the Project Site.
