UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA FUTURE LAND USE AND URBAN DESIGN CAMPUS MASTER PLAN, 2005-2015 DATA & ANALYSIS crops, greenhouses, arboretums, orchards, irrigation farms and other such outdoor laboratories typically associated with the Institute for Food and Agricultural Sciences or the College of Veterinary Medicine. Similarly, an Active Recreation-Outdoor land use classification was created to recognize the open space quality of recreation fields as compared to recreation centers, gymnasiums, stadiums and other enclosed or semi-enclosed recreation resources. The Passive Recreation land use was deleted and replaced with two different land use classifications – Urban Park and Green Space Buffer – to recognize the functional value of these different types of open space. As mentioned previously, the application of land uses was somewhat generalized and the definitions rewritten so that auxiliary uses of a building, such as service drives and courtyards, are included within the primary use of the building to which the auxiliary uses are associated. The following tables present Future Land Use designations proposed for the period 2005-2015 as compared to those of previous campus master plans. Although roads are not a land use classification, their acreage is included in the table so as to account for the entire campus acreage. A map at the end of this report displays the areas of campus where Future Land Use designations are changed from the campus master plan for 2000-2010 to the campus master plan for 2005- 2015.

UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA FUTURE LAND USE AND URBAN DESIGN CAMPUS MASTER PLAN, 2005-2015 DATA & ANALYSIS Future Land Use Change - Main Campus, 2004 to 2015 Land Use Classification Change from 2004 Amended CMP to 2015 Proposed CMP Academic and Academic-Outdoor 32 Active Recreation and Active Recreation-Outdoor -1 Buffer and Urban Park (formerly Passive Recreation) -124 Conservation 115 Cultural 9 Housing 28 Parking -45 Support / Clinical 45 Utility 4 Roads 38 Total * 100 * The increase in total acreage is due to mapping errors in the original 2000 base year data primarily accounting for water and roads. The net gain in Conservation acreage includes the addition of open water bodies, without which, the net gain in Conservation is 56 acres. Water acreage adds a total of 68 +/- acres to the total campus acreage that was not previously counted in a land use classification. VIII. Future Building Sites and Urban Design Recommendations The Future Land Use designations and the identified future building sites (as discussed in the Capital Improvements Element) present a concept for the long-term continued growth of the University of Florida. New buildings are located within land uses that reflect the future needs of the university. The spatial organization of these sites reflects a desire to provide infill development in the already-built parts of campus including sensitive infill in the Historic Impact Area, and more intense infill development south of Museum Road, along Center Drive and particularly focused in the Health Science Area along Archer Road. Other development is anticipated to occur in clusters around existing buildings including the Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Institute, the Cultural Plaza, Fifield Hall and the Cancer/Genetics Center. These areas should seek to develop as walkable activity centers with a critical mass of buildings and occupants that are connected as transit hubs. Additional land is designated to accommodate future housing and recreation field expansion, particularly in the western portion of campus near SW 34 th Street, Hull Road and Radio Road. In this way, this area can begin to function as a neighborhood of campus housing, recreation and student services, particularly focused on the needs of graduate students and their families. Long-term change is suggested in this campus master plan by providing Future Land Use designations in the locations of Diamond Village and the SW 6 th Street Civil and Coastal Engineering sites to indicate that the current uses may not be the highest and best use of the land in the future. However, these changes are not anticipated to occur during the ten-year horizon of the Campus Master Plan, 2005-2015. Similarly, some change of land use is indicated in the area occupied by a portion of the Physical Plant complex on Radio Road. While some change in this PAGE 1-36 MARCH 2006
