Approximately 2,600 acres west of Parker Road will remain under IFAS management for research and conservation. The proposed future land use designation for the 580 acres is Institutional, with specific text policies to guide development, conservation, infrastructure, and community access. [SW 122nd Street, generally between SW Archer Road and SW 24th Avenue; case Z26-000004] A Neighborhood Workshop was held to discuss the UF Golf Institutional Special Area Plan Phase 1, covering 580 acres. The proposal involves amending the Future Land Use category from Rural/Agricultural to Institutional and rezoning from Agricultural (A) to Planned Development (PD). The subject property is located on SW 122nd Street, between SW Archer Road and SW 24th Avenue. The workshop aimed to inform the public and gather comments on the proposed amendments. Public comments included concerns about regulatory process, access terminology, traffic, construction traffic, environmental impacts, and tree preservation. The project is part of a larger 4,068-acre Special Area Study (SAS-01-22). The proposed development includes an 18-hole championship golf course, 23 cottages for overnight guests, a member clubhouse, team facilities, and teaching areas. The Alachua County Growth Management Staff recommended approval of the PD rezoning. [04492-001-001; case Z26-000004] Alachua County Planning Commission reviewed application Z26-000004 for a Planned Development (PD) zoning district to allow for the construction of a golf course and ancillary facilities. The proposed development is on a 580-acre parcel previously zoned Agriculture and designated for UF Golf Institutional use. The PD will permit a golf course, clubhouse, maintenance buildings, UF golf team facilities, up to 30 transient residential cottages, and teaching facilities. The project is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and Unified Land Development Code. Several Best Management Practices (BMPs) for stormwater management, nutrient management, water quality, landscaping, natural resources, and conservation management areas will be adopted. The Planning Commission recommended approval to the Board of County Commissioners (BoCC) with conditions, pending transmittal of the associated Comprehensive Plan amendment (Z26-000002) to FloridaCommerce. A final adoption hearing with the BoCC will be scheduled after receiving comments from FloridaCommerce. Key conditions include geophysical testing prior to stormwater system design, specific design for driveway and golf cart crossings of Conservation Management Areas, buffer area requirements, and a preliminary development plan including an operational and safety analysis for driveway connections. [case SAS-01-22 (Hickory Sink Strategic Ecosystem Special Area Study)] This document outlines Best Management Practices (BMPs) for the UF Golf Course, Phase 1 SAP Institutional Use Property, focusing on Natural Resources & Karst Protection, Landscape Management, Nutrient Management & Water Quality Monitoring, and Conservation Management Areas (CMAs). It details requirements for stormwater management, vegetation preservation, water use minimization, and protection of sensitive habitats and karst topography. Specific practices include designing pretreatment methods for denitrification, maintaining stormwater facilities, preserving existing vegetation, limiting excavation in shallow karst areas, conducting geophysical and subsurface investigations for stormwater pond design, and evaluating stormwater reuse for irrigation. The Landscape Management Plan (LMP) categorizes areas into Conservation Management Areas (CMAs), Non-Golf areas, and Golf Areas, each with specific irrigation allowances and planting requirements emphasizing native and drought-tolerant species. The Nutrient Management Plan focuses on science-based application of nutrients to maintain turf quality while protecting water quality, adhering to the 4Rs principles (right source, rate, time, place). A Water Quality Monitoring Program is established to assess impacts on surface and groundwater, with specific sampling parameters and frequencies. The CMA BMP details management practices for protected areas, including fencing, signage, erosion control, and specific measures for gopher tortoises and other listed species, emphasizing prescribed fire and invasive species control. No ornamental landscaping, turf establishment, fertilizer application, or irrigation is permitted within CMAs. [off Parker Road (C.R. 23; SW 122nd Street); case Alachua County Permit Application No.: 2024-TBA, DHR Project File No.: 2024-TBD] This document is a Phase I Cultural Resource Assessment Survey for the Hickory Sink Special Area Plan, an 800-acre project in Gainesville, Alachua County, Florida.
