Abstract/Summary

The Laguna Lake Municipal Golf Course is located in San Luis Obispo, California, and is operated by the city. Recently, the community, city staff, and the City Council have begun a conversation regarding the use of the golf course. To explore the different uses, this senior project presents four alternative developments for a selected area of the golf course. These four uses include enhancing the existing driving range, a sports facility, a children’s center, and a senior living community. To assess these alternatives, the project explores current urban planning theories, development trends, and case studies for each use. Through this assessment, a vision and design principles were created to guide the planning and designing process of each development. Using this information, four final designs were developed to show the different possibilities the Laguna Lake Golf Course property can be for the community.
