The city's emergency moratorium temporarily halts the establishment of new outdoor courts within 500 feet of homes so that it can study noise impacts associated with the game
and scheduled to expire at the end of September, scuttled plans this spring that Robbins and her pickleball-playing compatriots had to paint permanent lines for two courts on the hardtop of an existing tennis court in their neighborhood.They’ve been using painter’s tape to temporarily mark the dimensions of a pickleball court, where opponents face off with paddles and smack a perforated plastic ball over a net.
Christopher Evans, another pickleball enthusiast who serves as president of the Homestead in the Willows HOA, said he hasn’t heard a word from neighbors about the occasional pickleball contests that take place next to the HOA clubhouse on East Geddes Avenue. And according to testimony from a city official at last month’s council meeting, neither has Centennial — not from neighbors near the two permanent outdoor courts or the half dozen temporary courts in the city.
Evans, an attorney, said Centennial is speculatively and improperly exercising its police powers to control an activity that has yet to produce a problem. He’s considering taking legal action. Centennial city attorney Robert Widner disagrees that the city’s measure constitutes overreach, saying the city “is legally empowered to temporarily delay a land use or activity to avoid or manage the potential for harm to the health, safety, and welfare of the public.”
