CAPABILITIES MASTER PLANNING ELM’s master-planning services range from large-scale environmental analysis to site-specific planning and design solutions for use patterns, access, circulation, development considerations, views, building design, and site utilization. The basis for the firm’s master planning work is the commitment to understand our client’s goals and objectives, and to think strategically and apply our creativity and expertise to achieve them. ELM has developed master plans for many high-profile destination and residential communities, resorts, and club facilities, often spanning numerous years and multiple project phases.

PROGRAMMING ELM has proven experience in planning, data collection, spatial needs assessment, facility utilization, operational efficiency, multi-generational considerations, adaptability, and prioritization of program requirements for resort, club, and community facilities. In addition, ELM has experience in management strategies, operations, maintenance, and staffing needs. We work closely with clients to establish a refined budget, determine optimal high-performance service metrics, identify potential opportunities for efficiencies, and establish realistic project schedules.

MULTI-GENERATIONAL DESIGN For more than two decades, ELM has been designing places and projects to serve the full crosssection of the population, ranging from playgrounds, to mixed-use development, to active adult communities, and to senior living facilities. We have seen changing activity patterns, with adults and seniors engaging in more diverse active recreational, social, cultural, and artistic pursuits, and being more inclusive across multiple generations, together with children and grandchildren. ELM’s partners and staff have been involved in the planning and design of some of the bestselling and most successful Active Adult communities in the nation, creating robust recreational and social amenities that have become models in the industry.

PERMITTING | ENTITLEMENTS ELM has extensive experience in securing approvals for projects of widely diverse scales and types, including working with various forms of permits, approvals, and entitlements through municipal, county, state, and federal agencies and departments. ELM’s success in permitting and securing entitlements is a result of the firm’s experience, creative approach to problem-solving, and commitment to building constructive relationships with local constituents and reviewing agencies and staff. 6
