VILLAGE 7 PLANNING SUMMARY MEMO
March 21,1990
#90/311
A. BACKGROUND & METHODOLOGY
Village 7 is slated for development as a gated golf course community within Phase One
of Summerlin. This village has a gross acreage of 645 + acres and a net acreage of 588 +
acres. It is bounded by Lake Mead Boulevard to the north, Hualapai Way to the West,
Summerlin Parkway to the south and Town Center Drive to the east.
The Summerlin Village Planning/Development Process (see following chart) has been
utilized for this exercise. Planning began at the Preliminary Program Phase and
proceeded through development of the Preliminary Plan. The preliminary planning work
was spurred on by the need to route a water line across this village proximate to the 2860
contour line by February 15,1990.
The planning process was accelerated to meet schedule demands. This process utilized a
design charrette to focus efforts over a two day period and resulted in the production of
five Preliminary Plan Alternative Studies. Following HHP review and comment, two
revised alternatives that extracted desirable traits from the first series of plans were
produced. These plans were reviewed and resulted in the formulation of a revised village
concept diagram. This diagram became the basis for another iteration and refinement of
the Preliminary Plan. Three alternatives (3,4 & 5) were produced during this planning
sequence and are presented in this report.
B. PROGRAM
Village Seven Image
Village Seven, the second of two PGA championship golf courses is envisioned as a
"showpiece development." Because of its location along the Summerlin Parkway and
Town Center Drive, its proximity to the PGA stadium golf course, and its elevation, this
village enjoys high visibility to the entire Summerlin property and the focus around an
exclusive and private PGA golf course. It is a village for persons of substance. The
harmonious balance of a residentially-oriented golf course and the highest residential
property values in Southern Nevada are sought. The majority of this village is seen as a
gate-guarded fully secured community which will not afford public access.
It probably will be represented by only three or four residential products to include some
very high-end custom home estate sites. These products will probably include, in
addition to the custom lot program, luxury production housing and one or two higher
density detached luxury products (villas). These products will be marketed
simultaneously since they will appeal to different segments of the market.
