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.
