This document outlines regulations for Traditional Neighborhood Developments (TNDs) and Transit Oriented Developments (TODs), detailing where and how these developments can be located, their permissible uses, density and intensity standards, and design requirements. It specifies zoning designations, land use designations, and proximity to transit corridors. For TNDs, residential densities range from 4-10 dwelling units per acre outside the village center, up to 8 dwelling units per acre in non-residential designations, and higher within village centers and transit supportive areas. Non-residential development requires a base of 10,000 sq ft plus 50-250 sq ft per dwelling unit, with options for additional non-residential square footage. For TODs, residential densities are higher, with minimums of 10 dwelling units per acre in village centers and 7 in transit supportive areas, and maximums up to 24 (or 48 in urban service areas). Non-residential development in TODs also requires a base of 10,000 sq ft plus 100-500 sq ft per dwelling unit. The document details dimensional standards for village centers and transit supportive areas, including build-to lines, height restrictions, and building footprint maximums. It also specifies requirements for block perimeters, building orientation, parking (including screening and location), and roadway/transit network design. Updates are proposed to streamline phasing requirements, allow minor changes to approved plans, and modify mix of use requirements, such as reducing the minimum percentage of non-residential square footage in village centers and eliminating minimum retail commercial requirements. Specific design standards for liner buildings and screening of off-street parking are also detailed. Public comment or stakeholder sentiment is not stated in this document. [12 SE 1st Street, Gainesville, Florida; case 26-00391] This document details proposed amendments to Alachua County's Unified Land Development Code (ULDC) and Administrative Code concerning Access Management. The primary goal is to clarify standards for connecting to County roads, ensuring consistency with best practices and reinforcing the County's authority over such connections, regardless of property location within municipalities. The amendments aim to move existing code language into the Administrative Code for better enforcement and clarity. Key changes include defining connection classifications (Class I-IV), requiring permits for all new or modified connections to the County road system, and specifying detailed information required for permit applications and development plans. The document outlines construction standards for driveways, roads, pavement thickness, base and subgrade requirements, and drainage systems, referencing FDOT standards and the Florida Greenbook. It also addresses street network standards, external connectivity, lot and street layout, and dedication of future rights-of-way. The proposed amendments are intended to enhance safety, efficiency, and functionality of the transportation network. The document also includes provisions for affordable housing density bonuses and non-residential square footage substitutions in Traditional Neighborhood Developments (TNDs) and Transit-Oriented Developments (TODs). This document details proposed updates to Alachua County's Unified Land Development Code (ULDC) and Administrative Code concerning transportation access management. Key changes include moving external site access management from the ULDC to the Administrative Code, updating technical references, and clarifying language on access management, traffic impact analysis, and pedestrian analysis. Specific amendments clarify requirements for developments accessed via paved roads, refine connection permit processes, and update definitions for connection classifications (Class I, II, III, IV). The updates also enhance requirements for bicycle and pedestrian facilities as a condition of access on County-maintained roadways. The document also references an Interlocal Agreement for Solid Waste Disposal Services between Alachua County and the New River Solid Waste Association, detailing terms and rates for waste disposal. [5115 NE 63rd Avenue, Gainesville, Florida] This document is an Interlocal Agreement for Solid Waste Disposal Services between Alachua County and the New River Solid Waste Association.

This change is part of the Hickory Sink Special Area Study. The proposed uses include a golf course, clubhouses, research and office uses, maintenance facilities, supporting sporting and athletic uses, environmental and educational programs, and up to 30 accessory temporary lodging units.

[West of Gainesville, Alachua County, Florida; case Z26-000004] The University of Florida (UF) is proposing the UF Golf Phase 1 Planned Development (PD), a 580-acre campus-oriented institutional and recreational project west of Gainesville.

The Landscape Management Plan emphasizes native and drought-tolerant planting, limits irrigation to specific areas, and prioritizes functional ecological performance. The Nutrient Management Plan focuses on science-based applications for healthy turf while protecting water quality, with specific nitrogen limits for different golf course features. The Water Quality Monitoring program will track surface and groundwater to ensure compliance with BMAP goals. The Stormwater Management Plan emphasizes Low Impact Development (LID) techniques like rain gardens and pervious pavements, with stringent pollutant load reduction targets for nitrogen and phosphorus. All plans are designed to meet Alachua County ULDC requirements and conditions from the Hickory Sink Strategic Ecosystem Special Area Study (SAS-01-22).
