2.3 Activity Centers The Hillsborough County Comprehensive Plan defines and identifies two types of activity centers ─ regional activity centers and community activity centers. Regional activity centers are high concentrations of government centers, high intensity commercial uses, and high density residential development. Community activity centers are TAZ locations with “ existing and future major regional employment clusters that have more than 1,000 regional commercial or service employees and/or locations around fixed guideway transit stations” (Hillsborough County, 2008a). Community activity centers are to be located along potential transit emphasis corridors or near existing or planned major intersections, located where public infrastructure investments are planned to exist at the time of designation, have a mixture of land use and compatibility of character, and reflect the character and intensity of the surrounding area. No regional activity centers have been identified in the study area. Proposed community activity centers identified by the Comprehensive Plan in the South County study area include (Figure 9): US 41 and Big Bend Road US 41 and College Avenue Corridor The Evaluation and Appraisal Report: Amendments to the Comprehensive Plan First Cycle of 2007 identified primary activity centers as existing activity concentration in 2005 that had more than 1,000 regional commercial or service employees per TAZ. Secondary activity centers were identified as areas susceptible to change that were anticipated to have more than 1,000 regional commercial or service employees per TAZ.
