SCOV Development Plan Sequence 13/3/2020

SCOV Development Plan Sequence

March 3, 2020


The Board of Directors (BOD) created a Long Range Planning Committee to:

Develop a data-based plan,

Provide a foundation for the BOD to use in development decisions, and

Maintain high levels of desirability and marketability for SCOV

Why Now…


What data…

LRPC used this data to identify the key features of highly sought after 55+ Active Communities:

•Homeowner and visitor surveys•Published field reports •Competitor site visitations


The Plan…The following sequence offers a staged plan to meet the BOD’s challenges for SCOV development.PHASE 1 Years 1 to 4

PHASE 3 Years 8 to 10

PHASE 2 Years 5 to 7

Emphasizes the current needs for space as expressed by the SCOV community, and sets the stage for Phases 2 and 3.

Addresses social pursuits by adding a resort pool and entertainment center at Desert Oasis, and intellectual pursuits with a new or updated Welcome Center and Library.

Transforms Catalina Vista into an Arts Center for fine, fabric, physical and culinary arts expression.


Phase 1 Activities Years 1 to 4

This first phase:

•Emphasizes current needs for space as expressed by the SCOV homeowners.

• Sets the stage for Phases two and three.

Phase 2 attends to the contemporary needs for social pursuits through the development of a resort pool and entertainment center at the Desert Oasis.



Phase 2 also addresses the intellectual needs through an expanded library, book club,media room at a renewed Welcome Center.

Phase 3 transforms Catalina Vista into an Arts Center for fine, fabric, physical and culinary arts expression.

Photo Studios Small performance venues Culinary arts

circles for contemplation, mindful walking, Tai chi, meditation and yoga

Create a Pavilion


The process would be similar to the AFC update: For each new project in this Development Plan, the BOD

would create a special Committee to study and develop a detailed plan.

Using this Development Plan as a guide, the Committee would work with Homeowners, stakeholders and architects to create a detailed plan, with a real cost.

The BOD would review the plan and place it on a ballotfor Homeowners to vote.

Who Decides about the Details?


The times shown in this Development Plan are guidelines. The actual times will depend on many things, including: Length of time needed for Committees generate detailed plans. Variances in construction time. The pace at which the community is willing to fund the plans. Homeowner desire and willingness to be engaged and vote.

How long will it take?


Working with the Finance and Budget Committee, we have some estimates to share, but remember: These are estimates for a 7 year period. A Special Assessment is not a part of these estimates. As with the AFC, some temporary increase in dues

(about $20 ) is included in this estimate. No money has been committed yet.

What will it cost?


Assumptions for Cost Estimate:These Initiatives effect the funds available.

Initiative #1 – (Comcast) Preferred Services Provider: PassesInitiative #2 – Waste & Recycling Services: PassesInitiative #3 – Capital Contribution Fee: Passes and is set to 2x.

What will it cost?


The Long Range Planning Committee Appreciates Your Time and Attention.
