Section 3 MAP AMENDMENT FLU-16-1 Parking Garage - This proposed land use change is necessitated by the change in location from the McCarty parking lot to the Aerospace lot.

The project is consistent with the Campus Development Agreement. LANDUSE COMPATIBILITY The proposed building location is currently designated as Support in the 2015 2025 Campus Master Plan. This land uses was consistent with the intent of the property in question at the time of the Plan s adoption. However, since then it has been recognized that the options chosen for the newest parking garage are not suitable for the size of the garage need. Thus, this alternative, larger site has been chosen where both the footprint and the height will more appropriately scale in context with existing and planned buildings. This site borders Museum Road on the north, an engineering complex (Academic) to the south and Center Drive to the east. CONSISTENCY WITH GOP S A review of the goals, objectives and policies (GOP s) of the Campus Master Plan indicates that the proposed land use change is consistent with the Master Plan and supports the following objectives and policies: Future Land Use Policy 1.1.4: The Future Land Use map and Future Building Sites map shall be used to identify available land and redevelopment sites suitable for development on the main campus to accommodate future growth, define future infill opportunities and conserve existing resources. Future Land Use maps shall identify available land for development on university satellite properties consistent with the list of projects in Table 13-1 and the Capital Improvements Element. This inventory of available sites shall be updated on a periodic basis, no less than once every five years, to reflect changes in status. Policy 1.1.5: The selection of building sites, refinement of future building site footprints and design of associated site improvements within designated future land use areas shall: Conform to the Future Land Use definition in Policy 1.1, Future Land Use Element; Campus Master Plan Amendments October 2016 Page 6 of 9
Preserve or satisfactorily realign pedestrian connections and future shared use path alignments that appear on the Urban Design Connections Map in the Urban Design Element; Create functional compatibility between adjacent facilities within the contiguous future land use area and along the boundaries between different future land use classifications, particularly when a new structure is adjacent to a Conservation land use as addressed in the Conservation Element, Policy 1.3; Create building groupings that frame functional open space when encouraged by the Future Land Use definition; Provide compatibility of size, scale, orientation and materials with existing structures in the Registered Historic District and its impact area as presented on the Historic District Area of Impact Map in the Urban Design Element; Group similar or associated programs in close proximity to one another in order to facilitate interaction between the facility occupants, particularly in support of interdisciplinary or multidisciplinary teaching and research; Concentrate buildings in centers of development to accommodate convenient pedestrian access between buildings, provide a critical mass that facilitates associated support activities (parking, transit, food service, etc.) and retain open spaces; and Avoid locations of undesirable soils or topography by conducting appropriate soil and geotechnical evaluations during site selection and design. Policy 1.2.1: Modification of future land use classifications shown in the most recently adopted Future Land Use Map (Figure 2-1), require an amendment to the Campus Master Plan to be processed consistent with Chapter 1013.30, Florida Statutes and applicable University of Florida Operating Memorandum. Parking Land Use Policy 2.5.2: Major new parking facilities shall be provided on the main campus as multi-story parking garage structures designed to efficiently use campus land resources. These structures shall be provided consistent with the Figure 2-1, Future Land Use map and Figure 13-1, Future Building Sites map with priority consideration for the locations depicted on Figure 8-7. Parking structures shall be encouraged to include non-parking liner building uses, and the Future Land Use designations shall be interpreted to provide flexibility that encourages this mixed-use approach to structured parking. Policy 2.5.4: Campus parking shall be strategically located throughout the campus and along the campus periphery such as the vicinity of Hull Road, SW 34th Street, Radio Road, University Avenue, SW 13th Street, SW 16th Avenue and Archer Road with transit connections to interior campus locations. Policy 2.6.2: The University shall employ a certified traffic engineer on staff and/or as an annual services contractor to evaluate, recommend and oversee implementation of routine traffic counts and modifications of traffic circulation, pedestrian and bicycle facilities, traffic signals, signs, markings and other such traffic issues.

MAP AMENDMENT FLU-16-2 NEXUS - This proposed land use change is necessitated by the increased footprint of the NEXUS building. Figure Title 2-1 Future Land Use 2-2 Future Land Use and Buildings EXISTING LAND USE / ACRES PROPOSED LAND USE /ACRES Urban Park /-.5 Academic / +.5 PUBLIC FACILITIES IMPACT There are no public facilities impacts with this amendment. The project is consistent with the Campus Development Agreement. LANDUSE COMPATIBILITY A portion of the selected building location is currently designated as Urban Park in the 2015 2025 Campus Master Plan. This land use was consistent at the time of the Plan s adoption. However, since then the building program has increased and as such the land use must be changed to make the footprint consistent with the new building. All surrounding land uses remain the same, with just a small reduction in Urban Park CONSISTENCY WITH GOP S A review of the goals, objectives and policies (GOP s) of the Campus Master Plan indicates that the proposed land use change is consistent with the Master Plan and supports the following objectives and policies: Academic Facilities Element Goal 1: Provide Sufficient Facilities for Academic and Research Endeavors Across All Colleges and Consistent with the University s Academic Strategic Plan. Policy 1.1.7: Facilitate collaboration between university academics and operations to use the campus as a living laboratory and educational opportunity, particularly as a model of sustainability-related application, research and teaching. Future Land Use Element Policy 1.1.5: The selection of building sites, refinement of future building site footprints and design of associated site improvements within designated future land use areas shall: Preserve or satisfactorily realign pedestrian connections and future shared use path alignments that appear on the Urban Design Connections Map in the Urban Design Element; Create functional compatibility between adjacent facilities within the contiguous future Campus Master Plan Amendments October 2016 Page 8 of 9
