  1. Development Site Selection For Four Alachua County Municipalities URP 4273 Jennifer, Sue Ann, Jack, Alex

  2. Presentation Layout • Introduction / Selection Criteria • Site Selection For Municipalities • Inferences / Conclusion

  3. Background • Alachua County, FL has experienced rapid growth over the last several decades. • Unique area (U of F campus/activities, natural areas, I-75 corridor) • Balance of development / conservation

  4. Statement and Justification Alachua County municipalities must match development needs with the aesthetic and historical landmarks of their respective areas. Development without consideration of these factors is dangerous and may lead to decreased economic revenue, citizen uneasiness, and environmental degradation .

  5. Study Area Overview • Alachua County, FL • Four Municipalities Selected (Alachua, Hawthorne, High Springs, Newberry). • Extensive GIS Database (FGDL) with economic, social, and environmental information.

  6. Objectives • To identify a suitable development area that will house a small apartment complex. • To ensure that this development meets our selection criteria based upon social, physical, economic, and environmental factors.

  7. Selection Criteria • Social: Target Ages (20-30 yrs), Historic Landmarks/Buildings (Build Nearby) • Physical: Roads (within 1 mile of existing roads), Site Size (between 5-10 acres)

  8. Selection Criteria • Economic: Market value consideration (what parcel to buy and how location might influence it) Non-Developed Areas (expensive to tear down structures and rebuild). • Environmental: Creation of 500ft buffer around conservation areas and flood zones.
