IMPACTS OF PUBLIC FACILITIESAND AFFORDABLE HOUSING
Wastewater - Plant capacity reached by 2006 or 2007, including indirect/induced impacts. Stormwater - Need to develop “Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan” prior to further development. Water - Plant capacity reached by 2013, including indirect/induced impacts. Solid Waste - Waste disposed at New River Solid Waste Landfill located in Union County. Energy - Electricity supplied by City of Alachua and Clay Electric Coop., east and west of CR 235A, respectively.

IMPACTS OF PUBLIC FACILITIESAND AFFORDABLE HOUSING
Education - 52 elementary, 23 middle, and 31 new high school rooms needed by buildout in 5 county area. Recreation/Open Space - Project will lower current level of service to city’s recreation standards. Health Care - Project will create need for 2 Advanced Life Support Units within city to maintain current level of service Police/Fire Protection - 31 more sworn officers to maintain current level of service at buildout; need to add 2 more fire stations, one on or near project prior to further development Affordable Housing - Shortage of 40 units by end of phase 1, 10 short of 50 unit threshold. Need new analyses prior to phase 2 and phase 3, respectively.

IMPACTS ON ENVIRONMENT ANDNATURAL RESOURCES OF THE REGION
Air - Although air quality is anticipated to remain below federal standards, one measurement is sufficiently close to justify monitoring two high-volume intersections prior to beginning phases 2 and 3, respectively. Vegetation/Wildlife - A one-time preclearing survey of non-agricultural lands recommended. Wetlands/Floodplains - One small wetland ‘sink’ to be preserved; no floodplains onsite. Water (Surface/Subsurface) - Most of site located within “Area of High Recharge Potential to Floridan Aquifer”; therefore, 2 conditions recommended: water quality monitoring plan, and city implement Section 353.32, Alachua County Code dealing with hazardous materials management. Soils - Present few if any limitations to development. Historical/Archaeological Sites - No regionally significant sites located with project site.
APPLICANT COMMITMENTS
Council staff have identified 56 commitments made by the Applicant that are recommended to be included in the Development Order (pages 9 - 16, NCFRPC Report).
GENERAL CONCLUSIONS
Project will create construction and permanent jobs, and increase tax base of region.
Project will generate significant demands for public facilities, including especially the regional and local transportation road network serving the general area.
Project’s impacts on the environment and natural resources can be mitigated by both direct actions on the part of the Applicant, and also by close monitoring of development impacts on the air and water resources of the region.
