Adding metal window and door overhangs with contrasting elements
Keeping the brick wainscoting along the lower portion of the building
The entire building will be painted with a new color palette

Proposed
This side view shows us how the removal of the dated red roof is replaced with a parapet roof that provides the contempory clean lines while keeping a few varied wall planes.

Adjacent Buildings
Many of the buildings in the surrounding area were built 30 years ago as independent developments without a cohesive design.
Generally in an architecture review we want to ensure the new building blends with the existing area or at least uses elements of surrounding architecture to create a cohesive design.
But, In this part of Oracle and Magee, we find many building styles without a particular theme. The McDonald’s remodel………..

National Golf Foundation Consulting
Senior Director of Consulting Services
Evaluation of the Operational
and Economic Performance of the
Town’s Public Access Golf System
21
Introduction
• National Golf Foundation:
> Municipal golf facility consulting
> NGF Staff – Richard Singer
> Not advocate for any position other than
the Town of Oro Valley’s success
• Why we’re here:
> Evaluate operational and economic performance of golf
> Strategic review of the three-course, 45-hole golf system
> Document the market environment, and identify
implications for future El Conquistador / Pusch Ridge
golf operations
> Present recommendation for the long-term potential
and options to enhance economic performance of facilities
22
NGF / FRA / WLB Activities
• Meetings with Town staff and golf course staff
• Comprehensive facility evaluations
• Two public meetings to solicit community input
• Interviews of the on-site manager and golf superintendent
• Interviews with resort operator
• Visits to area competitive golf facilities
23
Primary Question
How best to structure the golf assets
so the business model and facilities begin
to work for the Town and its residents?
24
Review of Facilities
• Town owns and operates 45 holes of golf at
El Conquistador and Pusch Ridge
• Operation contracted to Troon Golf, a leading provider
of golf management services
• Predominance of activity and revenue at ECGT comes from
members, many of whom live in the adjacent community
• Total net loss on operations close to ($2.3 million) in 2016
• $2.0 million of this loss is covered by about $2.0 million
collected by the Town from a dedicated ½-cent sales tax
• Most municipal golf operations lose money
25
Key Findings — El Conquistador Golf & Tennis
• Overall condition is good – operation is not mismanaged
• ECGT is operating with a very high expense profile,
over $5.1 million in 2016 for all expenses and cost of sales
even after cuts in 2016
• Comparative metrics presented by NGF show ECGT has
lower rounds but higher revenue than ‘standard,’ thus a
higher realized revenue earned per round
• Expenses are much higher than standard, especially
utilities – due to high cost of water and inefficient and
outdated irrigation system
• F&B operation lost about ($260,000) in 2016
• Marketing affected by uncertainty of ECGT future
26
Key Findings — Pusch Ridge
• Small 9-hole course presents challenges to Town
• Hosted 5,900 rounds in 2016 and lost ($175,000)
on operations – only a small fraction of total system loss
• This course struggles for several reasons, including
difficult design, lack of walkability, declining maintenance
and a general lack of interest in 9-hole golf courses
• Town has 3 options for Pusch Ridge:
> Close the course (may lead to other expenses and problems)
> Fix the course – still have most problems noted above
> Change the course – provide opportunity to improve
• NGF/FRA has presented a new, 12-hole par-3 option
(Dirty Dozen) that can reduce maintained turf to 11.9 acres
& provide upwards of 15 acres for responsible development
27
Key Findings on Market & External Factors
• Overriding trends in the golf industry are not favorable
for golf facility operators – will not support 45 holes of golf
• Demand not in balance with supply in greater Tucson —
> Expected standard is for 30,000-33,000 rounds per 18 holes
> ECGT is hosting 21,000 per 18 holes
• The NGF has estimated that 4,000 golfers per 18 holes
within 10 miles is a measure of success — ECGT has 1,400
golfers per 18 within 10 miles
• Oro Valley golf needs the support of a strong and thriving
tourist economy in Tucson, but Oro Valley is less convenient
• ECGT priced appropriately for services provided – it is an
especially good value for membership considering the
adjacent community center
28
Town Options
• El Conquistador Golf & Tennis:
> No Change – Losses will continue and possibly grow due
to capital needs
> Option A – Keep 36 holes but renovate to reduce turf and
improve systems ($5.1 million investment)
> Option B – Reduce to 27 holes ($4.6 million investment)
> Option C – Reduce to 18 holes ($3.0 million investment)
> Seek to attract a separate agreement for the F&B operation
• Pusch Ridge GC:
> A new program for continuing golf at Pusch Ridge ($3.1 million)
> Potentially financed through resort commitments, HOA support
and/or responsible repurposing of land removed from golf use

Summary of Town Options

Summary of Reconfiguration Options
Potential
Total Total Acreage for Expected
Holes Investment Alternate Use* Savings
Option A 36 $5,115,775 21.2 20%
Option B 27 $4,639,115 32.0* 35%
Option C 18 $4,200,795 83.2* 45%
Pusch Ridge 12 $3,013,120 14.9 70%
*Includes only Town-owned property and does not include additional HOA-owned parcels
30
Alternate Use Considerations
• Outright Closure of one or both Town golf courses
> Not necessarily a cheap option
> Removed parcels could be used as naturalized space, passive
recreation, intensive recreation or development
> New revenues from responsible development could be used
to fund the renovation and upgrade program proposed for
ECGT and Pusch Ridge
• Repurposing portions of golf course property as a result
of proposed changes in size and space of golf facilities
31
Financial Overview Summary
Projections have been prepared as four ECGT scenarios:
• “As-Is” – No major changes but only repairs and minor
improvements — No driver to reduce expenses or produce
increased rounds or revenue
• Renovation resulting in 27 holes – (Option B) —
Most likely result in the strongest net performance for the Town
Allow ECGT to retain a strong share of members and still service
a comparable amount of daily fee play
• Renovation resulting in 18 holes at ECGT – (Option C) —
Will likely chase away all but the most die-hard resident members
with private carts, thus resulting in revenue that is much lower
than the savings in maintenance expense
• Retention of 36 holes – (Option A) —
Provides too much golf and higher maintenance costs

Reconfiguration Options for the Town’s Public Access Golf Assets
(El Conquistador & Pusch Ridge)
34
Reconfiguration Objective
Provide the Town with options that
also address the very real issues of
deferred maintenance, reducing managed
turf areas and bringing in more users.
Consider open space, land uses
and provide long term sustainability —
both environmental and financial.

(Existing Conquistador No. 5 Green)
51
Pusch Ridge
Reconfiguration
52
Pusch Ridge (Existing 9-hole Facility)
• Inadequate Yardage Flexibility — Not for casual golfers or beginners!
• Aging infrastructure (irrigation, drainage, rootzone)
• Deferred Maintenance (widespread)
• Tight & Narrow Corridors — But great views!
• Not Walkable / Takes Too Long / Too Difficult
• Excessive Turf Acreage (high water and delivery costs)
• Aging Clubhouse & Structures
• Disconnected with the Resort (physically & thematically)
53
Pusch Ridge Options
Option 1
Close the golf facility
and determine the best
use(s) for the land
areas realized
• Closure costs will be
significant
• Neighborhood opposition
• Resort operation loses
golf aspects on property
Option 2
Refurbish the golf
asset in its present
format (9-holes with
regulation length)
• Significant renovation cost
• Continued high water cost
• Format is likely not
sustainable
• Market appeal is low
Option 3
Transform the golf
asset into a new and fresh
format that complements
El Conquistador
• Costs comparable with full
closure
• Neighborhood buy-in
• Synergy with resort
54
Pusch Ridge
Transform the golf experience to integrate
with the resort experience…
Create strong ties between the golf course, the
natural landscape and existing neighborhoods…
Make the course fun, exciting and sustainable
for a new generation of golfers.
