Quay Valley - Kings County, CA

The chance to create an entire town from the ground up doesn't come along every day. Inherent in that opportunity is a responsibility to design a self-sustaining City based on a grand vision. For Quay Valley, the approach is systemic, the principles are sustainability and environmental responsibility, and the goal is to create a community that provides people the widest possible opportunities to live, work and play. The goal of Quay Valley is not merely to create a solar city, which would be an admirable task in itself, but to create a model City, breaking old paradigms and pushing the limits of conventional planning. The Galloway Group was selected to be the overall planning firm to guide this unique and precedent-setting Community through the Specific Plan process. The Quay Valley land use plan is based on the vision for a community founded on the principles of sustainability, new urbanism and smart growth. The land use plan for Quay Valley is a comprehensive plan for development of a new town balancing residential land uses with job centers, commercial services, a regional entertainment center, educational centers, recreational amenities, and civic uses within a setting of natural and enhanced open space, agricultural production areas, parks, trails, and water features.
