KENTFIELD

Sports club requests permission to grow

The Priory Tennis and Swim Club has applied for a use permit amendment to increase its membership.

The club, established in 1978, sits on a 2-acre property at 229 Laurel Grove Ave. It wants to raise its membership cap from 55 to 70, citing neighborhood demand and rising maintenance costs.

“The Priory’s membership remains remarkably stable,” Ashley Harris, a club officer, wrote in a letter to county planners. “Members typically relinquish their membership only upon moving out of the neighborhood — a relatively rare event. As a result, over 60% of our members have been part of the Priory for at least a decade, with some exceeding 50 years of membership. These long-standing members contribute tradition and warmth to our community. At the same time, demand for membership has surged in recent years, with the waitlist now exceeding 30 families.”

The Kentfield Planning Advisory Board plans a hearing on the request at 7 p.m. May 28 at the Kentfield School District office at 750 College Ave.
