Hillsborough Corridor Planning & Preservation Best Practices

Figure 17. Alachua County Comprehensive Plan, Future Traffic Circulation Corridors Map. Per Policy 1.3.7 of the Mobility Element development is required to dedicate the necessary right-of-way proportionate to the impacts of development along property boundaries of external roadways to accommodate standard lane widths, turn lanes, bike lanes, clear recovery zones, stormwater, utilities, sidewalks and multi-use paths. Sidewalks and multi-use paths may be provided within an easement along major roadways to preserve and take advantage of proposed buffers, existing vegetation, environmentally sensitive areas, and natural features. The land development code includes the following provisions for right of way dedication (Sec. 407.140. - Street network standards): (c) Dedication of future rights-of-way. All developments located adjacent to or along an existing or future alignment of a collector or arterial roadway, as identified on the future highway functional classification map adopted by Alachua County, shall provide dedication of right-of- way for the alignment that is roughly proportional to the impact of the development. The county engineer may waive the dedication requirement, if there is a substitute dedication that would serve the same purpose, if due to the location and layout of the development, there is no public need for a dedication.
