ALACHUA COUNTY, FL - There will be a Development Review Process and Unified Land Development Code (ULDC) update public workshop on January 5, 2009 in the Grace Knight Conference Room, County Administration Building, Second Floor at 4:00 p.m.

This will be the fifth public workshop to discuss changes in the development review process, related code and other pertinent topics. Staff presented draft documents to the Board of County Commissioners at a special meeting on December 2, 2008 and would like to receive additional public input prior to scheduling adoption hearings. This will be a continuation of previous discussions and any new proposed revisions will be presented as well.

Some of the topics to be discussed are as follows:

 - Concurrency and development plan extension

 - Roadway cross sections

 - Street trees

 - Open Space stormwater design

 - Miscellaneous ULDC revisions

This has been an interdepartmental effort to facilitate a more efficient development review process and to address confusing or conflicting code language and regulations. Draft documents are available for review. For further information, you may contact the Alachua County Growth Management Department at 352-374-5249.
