• Introduction / Selection Criteria
• Site Selection For Municipalities
• Inferences / Conclusion
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
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 .
Study Area Overview
• Alachua County, FL
• Four Municipalities Selected (Alachua,
Hawthorne, High Springs, Newberry).
• Extensive GIS Database (FGDL) with
economic, social, and environmental
information.
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.
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)
Selection Criteria
• Economic:
Market value consideration (what parcel to
buy and how location might influence it)

down structures and rebuild).
• Environmental:
Creation of 500ft buffer around
conservation areas and flood zones.
