  21. IMPACTS ON ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES OF THE REGION Air - Although air quality is anticipated to remain below federal standards, one measurement is sufficiently close to justify monitoring two high-volume intersections prior to beginning phases 2 and 3, respectively. Vegetation/Wildlife - A one-time preclearing survey of non-agricultural lands recommended. Wetlands/Floodplains - One small wetland ‘sink’ to be preserved; no floodplains onsite. Water (Surface/Subsurface) - Most of site located within “Area of High Recharge Potential to Floridan Aquifer”; therefore, 2 conditions recommended: water quality monitoring plan, and city implement Section 353.32, Alachua County Code dealing with hazardous materials management. Soils - Present few if any limitations to development. Historical/Archaeological Sites - No regionally significant sites located with project site.

  22. IMPACTS ON TRANSPORTATION OF THE REGION

  23. APPLICANT COMMITMENTS Council staff have identified 56 commitments made by the Applicant that are recommended to be included in the Development Order (pages 9 - 16, NCFRPC Report). GENERAL CONCLUSIONS Project will create construction and permanent jobs, and increase tax base of region. Project will generate significant demands for public facilities, including especially the regional and local transportation road network serving the general area. Project’s impacts on the environment and natural resources can be mitigated by both direct actions on the part of the Applicant, and also by close monitoring of development impacts on the air and water resources of the region.
