PLANAPP 2024-00458 - 120 Brunello Boulevard, Timberlea

Proposal

The applicant wishes to amend the existing development agreement to allow a Nordic/Wellness spa as a permitted use within the area of the golf course. The major aspects of the proposed spa include:
•    Outdoor hot & cold pools;
•    Sauna;
•    Steam rooms; and
•    Resting areas

The Planning Rationale and Site Plan (provided below) outlines high-level details of the proposal. At this time, the specific location of individual buildings and spa features are not finalized. The site plan is provided to indicate where the use would be located and a general idea of the types of features/ amenities that would be included within the use. Exact locations of buildings and amenities for the use may change within the general area shown on the site plan. The proposal is to amend the existing development agreement to enable the Nordic/Wellness Spa as a permitted use within the development agreement. The construction of the spa would require a separate construction permit, not included in this process.

Process

The application will be considered under the Substantive Amending Development Agreement process.
