Agenda (PDF)

The document is an Alachua County Board of County Commissioners meeting agenda for August 11, 2026, containing multiple items. It does not describe a single project with a specific address, size, zoning change, applicant, case number, or decision for a development project. The agenda includes action items, presentations, public hearings, and consent items, but none are described as a development project with the required specifics. The document is a procedural agenda, not a project record. [Not stated. The study area is described as the Pine Hill Forest Strategic Ecosystem in unincorporated Alachua County, near NW 39th Avenue, NW 23rd Avenue, NW 98th Street, NW 122nd Street, NW 143rd Street, and W Newberry Road.; case Not stated.] The document is a Special Area Study (SAS) for the Pine Hill Forest Strategic Ecosystem in unincorporated Alachua County, Florida. The study area is approximately 1,175 acres (1,102 acres privately owned, 73 acres publicly owned). The study proposes a Master Planning Scenario with a build-out potential of up to 4,408 residential units and mixed-use nodes with ground floor neighborhood commercial uses around major roadway intersections. The study recommends implementing the existing Low Density Residential (LDR) land use allowing up to 4 dwelling units per gross acre, with density within 1/4 mile of mixed-use nodes ranging between 8 and 12 dwelling units per acre, and residential beyond 1/4 mile at up to 8 dwelling units per acre. A Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) program is recommended. The study identifies two roadways as three distinct projects: a 2.8-mile extension of the NW 23rd Avenue corridor and a 2.3-mile extension of the NW 122nd Street corridor. The document does not state a decision (approved/denied/deferred/recommended) on the study; it states the final step includes a presentation to the Board of County Commissioners who will review the study and recommendations. The study area is located near NW 39th Avenue, NW 23rd Avenue, NW 98th Street, NW 122nd Street, NW 143rd Street, and W Newberry Road. The document does not state a specific street address for the study area, a parcel or folio number, or an applicant/developer name. The document does not state a case/file number. Key dates stated include: Landowners Meeting #1 on April 9, 2025; Public Workshop #1 on August 27, 2025; Landowners Workshop #2 on April 22, 2026; and a notice mailed to landowners on March 31, 2025. Public comment sentiment from the August 27, 2025 workshop included concerns about increased traffic, stormwater management, flooding, preservation of nature and green spaces, wildlife, and a preference for limited, quality residential or mixed-use development. The document does not state a decision on the study. [The study area is located north of West Newberry Road, west of Northwest 98th Street, east of Northwest 143rd Street, and south of Northwest 39th Avenue. The meeting location was Alachua County Administration Building, 2nd Floor, Grace Knight Conference Room, 12 SE 1st Street, Gainesville, FL, 32601.] The document is a landowner meeting notice and presentation for the Pine Hill Forest Special Area Study (SAS) in unincorporated Alachua County, Florida. The study area is approximately 1,162 acres, located northwest of Gainesville, north of West Newberry Road, west of Northwest 98th Street, east of Northwest 143rd Street, and south of Northwest 39th Avenue. The purpose is to develop a Special Area Plan to establish guidelines for the Strategic Ecosystem prior to land use change, zoning change, or development approval. The study area contains a base density of 4 units per acre, totaling 4,408 units. The draft study report includes environmental assessments and potential future road extension alignments. A landowner meeting was scheduled for April 22, 2026. The document includes an environmental report with field assessments of multiple properties. The document does not state a decision on any specific development application. The document does not state any public comment or stakeholder sentiment from the meeting. [NW 122nd St (Pine Hill Forest Study Area); 12 SE 1st Street, Gainesville, Florida (County Administration); 1565 SW Williston Road, Gainesville, FL 32608 (Meridian Healthcare contact address); case 26-00418 (Meridian Healthcare); 26-00547 (Resolution); Pine Hill Forest Special Area Study case number not stated] The document is a multi-item Alachua County Board of County Commissioners agenda for August 11, 2026. It includes the Pine Hill Forest Special Area Study, a funding request from Meridian Healthcare, Inc., and a resolution on law-enforcement practices. The Pine Hill Forest Special Area Study covers approximately 1,175 acres (with a separate summary stating about 1,200 acres) in the northwest portion of the Urban Cluster, with a base density of 4 units per acre totaling 4,408 residential units. The study recommends a Master Planning Scenario with nodes of higher density and mixed-use development, and a Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) program to preserve significant habitat. The BoCC will consider accepting the Special Area Study at the August 11, 2026 meeting. The Meridian Healthcare, Inc. item is a request for FY 26/27 funding in the amount of $895,556.00. The resolution item addresses community concerns on law-enforcement practices and Chapter 908 compliance. The document does not state a final decision on any of these items, as they are agenda items for the meeting. [12 SE 1st Street, Gainesville, Florida (County administration address; no project site address stated); case File #: 26-00511 (for Hospital Assessment item); Town of Tioga Phase 22 item case number not stated.] The document is a multi-item agenda from Alachua County, FL, containing two distinct items. Item 1 is a staff analysis of the Town of Tioga Phase 22 Special Improvement District (SID) assessment methodology, responding to a developer request to change the assessment ratio from equal per-lot to 60:40 for large versus small lots. The document states the SID consists of 29 single family residential parcels, with single family houses assigned 1 ERU and undeveloped lots assigned .8 ERUs. Staff recommends keeping the current methodology, finding no basis for different trip generation based on lot size. Item 2 is an agenda item for a public hearing to amend Ordinance #2024-088, the FY27 Hospital Assessment, a non-ad valorem special assessment on participating hospitals at 0.05% of gross patient revenue, to comply with Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) guidance. The document includes the full text of the proposed amended ordinance (Ordinance No. 2026-) and the original ordinance (Ordinance No. 20264-08). No decision is stated for either item; the agenda date is 7/14/2026. Public comment sentiment is stated for Item 1: the developer requested the 60:40 ratio change, arguing larger lots have larger homes and more residents generating more trips, but no actual data was presented. Staff rejected this rationale, noting a smaller home may have more people and that lot size does not determine house size, population, vehicles, or road use frequency.
