This document details multiple meetings of the Animal Welfare Advisory Committee (AWAC) in early 2026. Key discussions included the search for a new Animal Resources Director and Shelter Veterinarian, the selection of the former University of Florida Swine Unit location for a new shelter, updates on animal welfare policies and standard operating procedures (SOPs), and an independent investigation into a whistleblower complaint regarding Alachua County Animal Resources (ACAR). The investigation, conducted by Stephanie Marchman of Gray Robinson, P.A., concluded that while there were some issues, many allegations were unsubstantiated or related to prior management. The investigation recommended addressing Gina Peebles' use of the term 'lynching ladies' to describe public criticism. Public comment frequently raised concerns about staffing, transparency, animal care standards, and specific partnerships, particularly with Doug Eddins and his affiliates, leading to a committee recommendation to discontinue partnerships with him. The committee also reviewed data reporting guidelines and discussed new shelter design feedback. This document is a report detailing investigations into various complaints made against the Alachua County Animal Resources (ACAR) facility and its leadership. The report addresses allegations ranging from pest infestations and animal care standards to staff management and euthanasia practices. In most instances, the allegations were found to be unsubstantiated or not to the extent that ACAR fell below the expected standard of care. Specific complaints included issues with water puddling, pest control, cat deaths, disease outbreaks (parvovirus, panleukemia), improper handling of animals, alleged falsification of reports, and staff conduct. The report provides detailed responses to each complaint, often citing evidence from site visits, witness statements, and ACAR's own protocols. Key findings include that while some issues like rat infestation and disease outbreaks exist, they are managed within acceptable standards. The report also addresses concerns about euthanasia decisions, staff promotions, and volunteer management, generally finding that current leadership acted appropriately or that allegations were unsubstantiated. Recommendations include focusing on animal welfare over arbitrary 'no-kill' goals and providing ongoing training. This document is part 3 of 3 and details recommendations for ACAR staff regarding euthanasia reporting, the behaviorist role, and improving community trust and transparency. It does not contain information about specific development projects, addresses, zoning changes, applicants, case numbers, decisions, or key dates related to construction or contracting opportunities.

[3400 NE 53rd Avenue, Gainesville, Florida 32609 (current ACAR facility); former University of Florida Swine Unit (proposed new shelter location)] This document details multiple meetings of the Animal Welfare Advisory Committee (AWAC) in early 2026, focusing on operational issues, staffing, and an independent investigation into a whistleblower complaint. Key discussions included the search for a new Animal Resources Director and Shelter Veterinarian, the proposed relocation of the shelter to the former University of Florida Swine Unit, and the review of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). A significant portion of the document is dedicated to the findings of an independent investigation by Stephanie Marchman of GrayRobinson, P.A., regarding a complaint filed by Anthony Friedell (believed to be authored by Sarah Gilley). The investigation found most allegations of substandard conditions and mismanagement to be unsubstantiated, attributing many issues to prior management. However, it did substantiate that Gina Peebles, the Acting Director, referred to certain members of the public as "lynching ladies" in a metaphorical sense due to relentless attacks, recommending this be addressed. The investigation also confirmed ACAR had been without a permanent director since August 2025 and an in-house veterinarian between August 2025 and May 2026. The committee passed a motion recommending ACAR discontinue partnerships with Doug Eddins and his affiliates due to concerns about animal welfare and disease control, which was supported by public comment detailing issues with puppy transfers and alleged misrepresentation of outcomes. Public comment throughout the meetings raised concerns about staffing, transparency, data accuracy, and the need for improved animal care and community engagement. This document is a report detailing investigations into various complaints lodged against the Alachua County Animal Resources (ACAR) facility and its leadership, including Gina Peebles, Brittany D'Azzo, and Kyle Fehl. The report addresses allegations ranging from pest infestations and inadequate animal care to mismanagement of euthanasia protocols and staff. For most complaints, the investigation found insufficient evidence to substantiate wrongdoing or that ACAR fell below the expected standard of care, although some issues were partially substantiated. Key findings include that while rat infestations were present, ACAR has a pest management plan. The practice of 'Returned to Field' (RTF) for cats is consistent with county code. Concerns about disease outbreaks like parvovirus were deemed not widespread or abnormal given the nature of shelter animals. Allegations regarding population management, water provision, and euthanasia practices were largely unsubstantiated against current leadership, with explanations provided for system upgrades, data reporting issues, and decision-making processes. The report also addresses specific animal welfare cases (Gia, Royal, Monkeybread, Liam) and staff conduct, generally finding that decisions were made within reasonable discretion or based on available information, though some areas for improvement in post-operative care and communication were noted. Recommendations include enhancing security measures, re-evaluating the 'no-kill' goal's impact on welfare, adopting the 5 Domains of animal welfare, and providing ongoing training. This document is part 3 of 3 and contains recommendations for ACAR staff regarding euthanasia reporting, behaviorist roles, and community engagement. It does not contain information about specific development projects, addresses, sizes, zoning changes, applicants, case numbers, decisions, or key dates related to construction or contracting opportunities. The document mentions a site visit on May 6, 2026, but provides no project details.

[12085 Research Dr., Alachua, FL 32615] Affordable Housing Advisory Committee meeting agenda for July 15, 2026. Topics include Call to Order, Approval of Agenda and Minutes, New Business covering 2026 Legislative Wrap Up (Affordable Housing Funding, SHIP Distribution, YIGBY Laws, Live Local 4.0, Senate Bill 594, House Bill 803), Infrastructure Surtax Update, Incentives and Recommendations Report Project Timeline, and Old Business (Legacy Community Development Update, Environmental Review, Community Resource Centers Update). The Florida Housing Coalition provides a policy briefing on the 2026 Legislative Wrap Up concerning Affordable Housing. It details legislative actions, funding updates, and new policies impacting affordable housing in Florida. The Florida Housing Coalition's Policy Team includes Kody Glazer (Chief Legal & Policy Officer), Ali Ankudowich (Director, Land Use Innovation), Ryan McKinless (Policy Analyst), Wis Benoit (Research Associate), and Lowell Atkinson (Policy Analyst). The Florida Housing Coalition's Housing Action Lab offers policy updates, advocacy tools, data on housing trends, field reports, housing solutions, and best practices. They encourage subscriptions to their Substack for policy updates. The 2026 Florida Legislative Session focused on Housing Policies including SHIP and SAIL Funding, Live Local SAIL Funding, Live Local 4.0, Yes-in-God's-Backyard (YIGBY), Accessory Dwelling Units, Florida Starter Homes Act, Factory Built Housing, Land Use and Permitting Reform, Transit-Oriented Development (TOD), Rural Housing Policy, and Property Taxes. Affordable Housing Funding: SHIP and SAIL were fully funded for the sixth consecutive year. The budget for FY 26-27 (before vetoes) totals $458 million, compared to $873,486,823 for FY 25-26. The Live Local SAIL program is unfunded. Hometown Heroes funding is technically an additional appropriation for FY 25-26 with unexpended balance reappropriated for FY 26-27. Affordable Housing Funding: Funding is down nearly 50% from last year. The Legislature fully funded SHIP and SAIL each year since 2021. From 2001-2021, over $2 billion was swept from these programs. The exclusion of the Live Local SAIL Program returns funding to 2022 levels. State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) Program Estimates for Fiscal Year 2026-27: Total appropriation is $165,670,000. There will be no changes to the SHIP distribution formula for local governments as the Rural Renaissance bill did not pass. The $350,000 minimum allocation for SHIP counties will remain in effect. Live Local 4.0: The Live Local Act was enacted in 2023 (SB 102). Land use mandates were amended in 2024 (SB 328) and 2025 (SB 1730). In 2026, land use mandates were further amended by HB 1389, and the Multifamily Middle Market (MMM) Opt-Out was amended by HB 1389. Live Local 4.0 Background on the LLA Land Use Mandate: Qualifying multifamily and mixed-use affordable housing developments are allowed by right in areas zoned for commercial, industrial, or mixed-use. To qualify, developments must be in an eligible zone, reserve at least 40% of units for households earning up to 120% AMI for 30 years, and be multifamily or mixed-use with at least 65% of the building used for residential purposes. Qualified projects receive favorable entitlements for density, height, floor area ratio, use, parking, and administrative approval. Live Local 4.0 Additional amendments to the Live Local Land Use Mandate (HB 1389) include: Expanded Eligibility (property owned by counties, municipalities, or school districts), YIGBY Expansion (qualifying religious institution property), Height Protection (localities cannot restrict eligible height), Farm Exemption (farms excluded from commercial/industrial classifications), and Open Space & Conservation Exemptions. Tracking the Live Local Land Use Mandate: As of 5/1/26, there are at least 19 LLA projects under construction. Total proposed projects: 204 (62.6k units). Projects under construction: 19 (7.4k units). Projects by Zoning Category: Commercial (65.69%), Mixed-Use (13.73%), Planned Development (6.86%), Other (13.73%). Projects by County: Miami-Dade (40.2%), Hillsborough (9.8%), Broward (9.31%), Lee (6.37%), Palm Beach (5.88%), Pinellas (5.39%), Orange (4.9%). Updates to Florida's YIGBY (Yes-in-God's-Backyard) Laws: Two overlapping tools exist: Local Option (SB 1730, 2025) gave local governments the option to allow affordable housing on religious institution land. State Mandate (HB 1389, 2026) requires localities to approve multifamily and mixed-use affordable housing on qualifying land through the LLA's land use mandate. Optional YIGBY (Yes-in-God's-Backyard): Empowering localities to unlock faith-based land. Passed via Senate Bill 1730 (2025). Allows local governments to approve housing on certain parcels owned by religious institutions if at least 10% of homes are affordable. Eligibility: land owned by a religious institution with or contiguous to a house of worship. First adopters: Melbourne, St. Petersburg, Orange County. Optional YIGBY (Yes-in-God's-Backyard) Policy Key Points: Eligible Land is owned by religious institutions with or next to a house of worship. Local Control is decided by local governments. Affordable Units minimum 10% (higher percentage allowed). Housing Types + Tenures are rental or ownership, single-family or multi-family. Income Levels up to 120% AMI. Affordability Term is local discretion. Development Standards are fully determined by local governments. Approval Process is case-by-case or via local policy/ordinance. [case HB 1389] Mandatory YIGBY (House Bill 1389, 2026): Expands the Live Local Act's land use mandate to include qualifying land owned by religious institutions. Qualifying land must be owned by a religious institution with a house of worship for 10+ years, be larger than 3 acres, and the house of worship must stay active. At least 40% of homes must be affordable rentals to households up to 120% AMI. Entitlements include multifamily and mixed-use housing by-right and Live Local Act standards. YIGBY At a Glance: Compares Optional YIGBY (SB 1730, 2025) and Mandatory YIGBY (HB 1389, 2026). Optional YIGBY is not required by the state, allows any housing type, has at least 10% affordability, and local government has full discretion. Mandatory YIGBY is a state mandate, allows only multifamily apartments or mixed-use buildings, requires at least 40% affordable rentals for at least 30 years, and state overrides local control on use, height, density, etc. Keep Up Your Local YIGBY Work!!! The local option covers parcels 3 acres or smaller, land contiguous to the house of worship, land with a house of worship active for less than 10 years, single-family housing, and situations where religious institutions want to convey property. Early estimate: 4x more qualifying land statewide under the local option than the state mandate. Which Law Applies to Your Land? The state mandate applies if all conditions are met: parcel contains a house of worship (not just contiguous), parcel is larger than 3 acres, house of worship active for at least 10 years, religious institution plans to keep house of worship active indefinitely, intended housing is multifamily or mixed-use, and at least 40% of homes are affordable rentals. If any box is unchecked, it's local option territory. The Local Option Covers More Ground: Miami-Dade County (Local Option: 10x more qualifying parcels; nearly 5x more acreage), St. Petersburg (Local Option: 6x more qualifying parcels; 60% more acres), Broward County (Local Option: 6x more qualifying parcels; 57% more acreage), Escambia County (Local Option: 5x more qualifying parcels; 400+ more acres), Alachua County (Local Option: 4x more qualifying parcels; 200+ more acres). [case HB 1389] Live Local 4.0 Amendments to the Florida Fair Housing Act (HB 1389): Prohibits discrimination against affordable housing in land use and permitting decisions. Defines affordable housing as any development rented or sold at an affordable rate to households up to 120% AMI. Waives sovereign immunity for governmental entities that violate the Florida Fair Housing Act. Live Local 4.0 Examples of Violations of the FL Fair Housing Act's Affordable Housing Protections: Includes denying or delaying affordable housing projects based on sentiment, requiring additional public hearings, prohibiting affordable housing outright in certain areas, or reducing density/units compared to market-rate projects. Section 760.26 can be triggered if local government treats affordable housing more restrictively. Changes to the Multifamily Middle Market (MMM) Opt-Out: The Live Local Act created the MMM Property Tax Exemption for newly constructed multifamily rental developments with 71+ affordable units (or 10+ in Areas of Critical State Concern) serving households <120% AMI. Exemption levels: 75% for 80-120% AMI, 100% for <80% AMI. Only affordable units qualify. Multifamily Middle Market (MMM) Property Tax Exemption: How is the exemption being used? MMM Certified Units data from 2024-2026 shows increasing numbers of units receiving certification for the exemption, with a significant portion applied for at 120% AMI and 80% AMI. Changes to the Multifamily Middle Market (MMM) Opt-Out: In 2024, qualifying taxing authorities can opt-out of the 75% property tax exemption for units affordable to 80-120% AMI. The 100% exemption for units serving 80% AMI and below remains mandatory. Opt-out eligibility is based on county surplus of 0-120% AMI units per Shimberg Center Annual Report. [case HB 1389] Changes to the Multifamily Middle Market (MMM) Opt-Out (HB 1389, 2026): Stricter opt-out threshold requires a county surplus of 0-120% AMI units for each of the previous 3 years. Earlier exemption trigger: Properties with a building permit issued on or after 7/1/2026 are exempt from opt-out ordinances enacted within the next 4 years. Changes to the Multifamily Middle Market (MMM) Opt-Out: Lists places that could opt-out in 2026. Strikethrough indicates places that wouldn't have been able to under new rules. [case SB 594] Senate Bill 594: Local Housing Assistance Plans. Allowing more SHIP funds to be used for manufactured homes. Repeals the 20% cap on using SHIP allocation on manufactured housing. Allows SHIP for up to 6 months of lot rental assistance for mobile home owners. Requires SHIP jurisdictions to add two new strategies in their LHAPs: 1. Addressing needs of persons deprived of housing due to mobile home park closure. 2. Providing program funds to mobile home owners, including lot rental assistance. [case HB 803, HB 399] HB 803 & HB 399: Zoning for Factory Built Homes. Both bills create s. 553.385 of the Florida Statutes. HB 803 is effective July 1, 2026. HB 399 is effective January 1, 2027. The bottom line is to follow HB 803 from July 1, 2026, until HB 399 takes over. [case HB 803] House Bill 803: Building Permits and Inspections. Allowing factory-built homes where SF detached homes are allowed. Local governments must allow 'off-site constructed residential dwellings' by-right in any zoning district where SF detached homes are allowed. Key elements: definition of off-site constructed dwelling, meaning of 'as of right', and affected zoning districts. Prohibited: local laws treating factory-built homes differently. Allowed: generally applicable architectural, aesthetic, design, setback, height, or bulk standards applied uniformly. [case HB 803] House Bill 803: Building Permits and Inspections. Local governments may adopt compatibility standards addressing roof pitch, minimum square footage, exterior finishing materials, foundation enclosure, attached structures, building setbacks, lot dimensions, and orientation. Local governments need to review zoning laws and comply. [case HB 803] House Bill 803: Building Permits and Inspections - Next steps for local governments: 1. Audit zoning code. 2. Amend as needed to allow modular & manufactured homes as of right. 3. Apply standards uniformly. 4. Limit compatibility standards to those listed in §553.385(2)(c). 5. Collaborate with factory-built housing companies. [case HB 803] House Bill 803: Building Permits and Inspections - More stuff! Prohibited building permits for work valued at less than $7,500 (non-structural) outside flood hazard areas. Local governments may not require permits for temporary hurricane/flood protection walls. Expanded role of private providers in plan review and inspection services. [case HB 399] House Bill 399: Land Use and Development Regulations - More stuff! Standards for Reviewing Development Applications on Compatibility Grounds require comprehensive plans to include factors for assessing compatibility. Land development regulations must incorporate mitigation measures. Before recommending denial on compatibility grounds, staff must identify specific areas of incompatibility. References to 'community character' or 'neighborhood feel' are insufficient for denial. Application fee calculations must be based on processing costs, not project value. [Miami-Dade, Palm Beach, and Broward counties; case SB 1434] Senate Bill 1434: Infill Redevelopment. Administrative approval for Brownfield development in Miami-Dade, Palm Beach, and Broward counties. Allows administrative approval of housing on brownfields if at least 5 acres and adjacent to a residential parcel. Development standards include density limits (average of adjacent zoning or 25 units/acre, whichever is lower), 20-foot buffers, and standards for recreational areas. [case HB 1217] House Bill 1217: Prohibited Governmental Policies Regulating Greenhouse Gas Emissions. Prohibits governmental entities from enacting or enforcing a 'net zero policy' or using public funds to support, implement, or advance such policies. FHC interpretation: does not affect typical green building initiatives. Other Housing Bills that Passed: SB 1602 (veteran homelessness pilot program in Broward, Escambia, Hillsborough, Santa Rosa counties), HB 927 (qualified contractors conducting pre-application reviews), SB 824 (school districts submitting unimproved real property inventory), SB 1134 (prohibiting certain local actions related to diversity, equity, and inclusion), SB 686 (agricultural enclaves). Closely Followed Housing Bills that Died: SB 948/HB 1143 (Florida Starter Homes Act), HB 1183/SB 1342 (TOD Bill), SB 48/HB 313 (ADU Bill), SB 1672/HB 311 (Tax Credits for Contributions to Assist Homebuyers), HB 299/SB 354 (Blue Ribbon Projects), SB 840 (pulling back last year's SB 180). [case House Joint Resolution 1-F] House Joint Resolution 1-F, Amendment 3: Needs 60% voter approval to become part of Florida's Constitution. Proposed changes: Increase homestead exemption for non-school ad valorem taxes ($25k to $150k in 2027, $250k in 2028, then inflation adjusted). Phase in increase for new FL residents. Lower non-homestead assessment cap from 10% to 5%. Direct Legislature to create uniform procedure for additional homestead exemptions. Set how local governments may spend ad valorem revenue. The Proposed Homestead Exemption Increase (Amendment 3): Will lower property taxes for homeowners, including low-income, cost-burdened homeowners, seniors on fixed incomes, and first-time homebuyers. The increased exemption applies to all homestead properties regardless of income or need, potentially reducing local budgets. Top Questions We Have on the Amendment's Potential Impact (Amendment 3): Questions concern renters, local funding for affordable housing programs, impact on home prices, fees local governments might charge, and staffing for SHIP and other programs. Housing Highlights: Takeaways from the 2026 Legislative Session. 1. Sadowski Programs (SHIP and SAIL) fully funded for the sixth consecutive year. 2. More Housing Supply Bills filed. 3. YIGBY Now Mandatory in certain cases. 4. Florida Fair Housing Act strengthened. 5. Factory-Built Homes treated as real property, permitted by-right. 6. SHIP Statute updated for manufactured homes. 7. ADU Bill failed for a second straight year. What's Next? Looking ahead to 2027: New Governor, House Speaker, Senate President could be an inflection point for Florida housing policy. Potential topics for 2027 include: 1. Fully Funding SHIP and SAIL. 2. Florida Starter Homes Act. 3. ADU Bill. 4. Transit-Oriented Development (TOD). 2027 may be a significant opportunity for state-level housing reform unless property tax issues dominate. Making Housing Front and Center in the 2026 Election Cycle: Housing advocates can help candidates understand housing needs and policy tools.

The applicant, Lindsay Haga of England-Thims & Miller, Inc., seeks to change the future land use designation from Rural/Agriculture to 'Everlee Farmstead Community'. This amendment would permit up to 2,750 residential units and 200,000 sq. ft. of non-residential uses, along with 250 affordable housing units. The property is located east of SW 122nd Street, west of Haile Plantation, and south of the Oakmont Subdivision. The staff recommends approval, finding the proposal consistent with the Alachua County Comprehensive Plan, and recommends transmittal to the State for review. The document extensively discusses impacts on traffic, water/sewer, drainage, emergency services, solid waste, schools, and recreation, along with natural resource considerations like wetlands, strategic ecosystems, significant habitat, listed species (gopher tortoises), and geologic features. Public comment is not detailed in this portion of the document. [North of Archer Road and east of Parker Road] This document outlines the proposed Everlee Farmstead Community (EFC) Future Land Use designation, a Phase 2B Special Area Plan within the Hickory Sink Special Area Study. The project encompasses approximately 996 acres across multiple parcels. The EFC aims to create a large-scale master-planned community adjacent to the Urban Cluster, providing a transition from urban to sustainable rural character. It includes a mix of residential, commercial, agricultural, and conservation uses, governed by a Planned Development Zoning Master Plan. Key features include a professionally managed working farm (minimum 20 acres), distinct character areas (Farmstead, Hamlet, Village Edge, Village Core) with varying densities, and requirements for compact, walkable development, human-scaled design, and robust transportation and utility infrastructure. The maximum development program is set at 2,700 dwelling units and 200,000 square feet of non-residential development. The plan also addresses conservation areas, rural edge transitions, integration with conserved lands, agricultural compatibility, water conservation, and affordability (minimum 10% of units at 80% AMI). Transportation improvements include a new roadway connecting SR 24 and SW 122nd Street, with development approval contingent on SR 24 widening or developer agreements for capital infrastructure. Public facilities analysis indicates adequate capacity for potable water, wastewater, and other services. The project is located north of Archer Road and east of Parker Road. This document details the Comprehensive Plan Amendment for EVERLEE FARMS, also referred to as EVERLEE FARMSTEAD COMMUNITY. It outlines the project's consistency with Alachua County's Comprehensive Plan across various elements including Future Land Use, Transportation, Housing, Conservation and Open Space, Agricultural and Rural Development, Capital Improvements, Intergovernmental Coordination, Public School Facilities, and Recreation and Parks. The plan addresses wastewater and solid waste demand, stormwater management, transportation impacts (including projected traffic on SW 122nd Street, Archer Road, and Newberry Road), public school facilities, public safety, and parks and recreation. Key aspects include the proposed development's integration with existing neighborhoods, provision for multimodal transportation, conservation of natural resources with a commitment to preserving 20% of acreage as rural land stewardship, and adherence to best management practices for agriculture and silviculture. The project is designed to support a mix of housing types and aims to provide community amenities such as farmer's markets and agritourism opportunities. Public participation efforts, including neighborhood workshops, are noted. The document confirms that public facilities and services are anticipated to be adequate to serve the proposed development at adopted levels of service, with concurrency addressed through planned improvements and development phasing. This document details the planning and policy framework for the Everlee Farms development, a comprehensive plan amendment (CPA) that proposes a site-specific policy framework outside the Alachua County Urban Cluster. The project encompasses approximately 997 acres, resulting from the Special Area Study (SAS) of the original Lee family property. The development aims to cluster housing, integrate agricultural and open space uses, and provide neighborhood-serving commercial and recreational facilities. It emphasizes pedestrian and bicycle linkages, energy-efficient and low-maintenance facilities, and accessibility for persons with disabilities. The plan addresses infrastructure needs including potable water, sanitary sewer, stormwater management, and solid waste systems, ensuring consistency with county policies and concurrency requirements. Economic development is supported through agritourism, farmer's markets, and educational classes. The development also promotes affordable housing options and community health through access to fresh food and recreational spaces. A significant portion of the analysis focuses on addressing Policy 7.1.3 regarding Urban Cluster capacity, arguing that the county's broad capacity analysis does not fully account for realistic land availability, environmental constraints, entitlement readiness, product type, or submarket location, thus justifying the site-specific framework for Everlee Farms. [Directly east of Parker Road (SW 122nd Street), directly north of SW Archer Road (SR-24); case ETM No. 25-472] This document is a Land Development Traffic Assessment (LDTA) for the proposed Everlee Farms development in Alachua County, Florida. The project, developed by The Robert Companies (also referred to as Roberts Capital Ventures, LLC), is a 997.3-acre mixed-use development planned in two phases. Phase 1 includes 680 single-family detached units, 330 single-family attached units, and 330 multifamily units. Phase 2 will add 815 single-family detached units, 295 single-family attached units, 295 multifamily units, and 200,000 square feet of general commercial space. The total development program is 2,700 residential dwelling units and 200,000 square feet of non-residential uses. The project is located east of Parker Road (SW 122nd Street) and north of SW Archer Road (SR-24). The assessment analyzes traffic impacts, with Phase 1 buildout projected for 2034 and full buildout for 2041. At Phase 1 completion, all roadway segments are expected to operate below capacity. At full buildout (2041), SW Archer Road between SW 44th Street and SW 107th Street will require widening to maintain adequate capacity. Several intersections along SW Archer Road are projected to fail at full buildout and will require widening to four lanes. Site access will be provided via two full-access driveways on Parker Road and one full-access driveway on SW Archer Road at 107th Street. Recommendations include potential transportation mitigation for Phase 2 and coordination with FDOT for the intersection of SW 107th Street and SW Archer Road. No public comment or stakeholder sentiment is detailed in this specific excerpt. [South of the future University of Florida Golf Course, and north of SW Archer Road (SR-24); case 25-472] This document details the traffic analysis methodology and findings for the Everlee Farms development, a multi-phase project planned over approximately 15 years, with completion expected by 2041. The analysis projects acceptable traffic levels of service through Phase 1 (2034) but anticipates capacity deficiencies along SW Archer Road (SR-24) and at multiple intersections by Phase 2 (2041). Key access points include Parker Road (SW 122nd Street) for initial phases and SW 107th Street and SW Archer Road for later phases, requiring coordination with FDOT. The project is located south of the future University of Florida Golf Course and north of SW Archer Road (SR-24). The developer is England-Thims & Miller, Inc. (ETM), with case number ETM No.: 25-472. Public comments and review comments highlight concerns regarding environmental protection (Conservation Management Areas), consistency with comprehensive plan policies, and the need for more specific phasing and mitigation details for roadway improvements.
