South County Integrated Mobility Study

for commercial (1.1 percent), industrial (2.7 percent), public and quasi-public (1.5 percent), and research corporate park (0.1 percent). Table 2 summarizes the relative acreage dedicated in the Future Land Use Element for various future land use categories in the study area. Figure 5 and Figure 6 provide visuals of the future land use in the project boundary. Figure 7 compares the FLUC proportions in South Hillsborough County with those of the City of Tampa. AS noted above, Tampa was chose as a point of reference, given that by 2040 South County is projected to have a population similar to that of Tampa today. The most striking finding is that significantly more land is set aside in South Hillsborough County for residential use (69%) than in the City of Tampa (28.3%). In contrast, lower proportions of land in South County are set aside for industrial (2.7%), public/quasi-public (1.5%), and natural/agricultural (9.6%) uses. The proportions of office commercial (1.1%) and mixed use (16.0%) land in South County are relatively similar to those of the City of Tampa (3.6% and 17.4% respectively). The mixed-use FLUC may include a single use or a mix of uses. Possible land use categories include retail commercial, office, light industrial, residential, residential support uses, and civic uses, as defined in the Unincorporated Hillsborough County Comprehensive Plan and the City of Tampa Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan for Unincorporated Hillsborough County requires properties 10 acres or greater to develop with at least two land uses.
