Background:
University campus master plans and campus development agreements are governed by Section 1013.30 <http://www.leg.state.fl.us/statutes/index.cfm?mode=View%20Statutes&SubMenu=1&App_mode=Display_Statute&Search_String=campus+planning&URL=1000-1099/1013/Sections/1013.30.html>, Florida Statutes. The process to update to the UF Campus Master Plan (CMP) began in 2019. UF held several workshops within the community and county staff provided comments to UF regarding the CMP. The University of Florida Board of Trustees adopted the updated CMP in December 2020. Following completion of the CMP update, UF must draft an amendment to the Campus Development Agreement (CDA) and transmit it to the City and the County for review. Once UF, the City and the County agree on the amendments to the CDA, the City and the County must each hold two public hearings to consider adoption of the CDA, and the CDA must be adopted by the UF Board of Trustees, consistent with the requirements of Section 163.3225 <http://www.leg.state.fl.us/statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&Search_String=campus%20planning&URL=0100-0199/0163/Sections/0163.3225.html>, Florida Statutes. The CDA must address issues relating to the provision of public facilities and services such as roads, utilities, parks and recreation to: 1) serve the university; and 2) address the impact of the university on the local government(s). The Statute provides that once the CDA is executed, all campus development may proceed without further review by the host local government if it is consistent with the adopted Campus Master Plan and associated Campus Development Agreement. The current Campus Development Agreement was updated and executed by UF, the City and the County in 2015, and expires December 31, 2025.
UF intends to present the final CDA for adoption by the UF Board of Trustees at their December 3, 2021 meeting.
The first public hearing was held on October 12, 2021.
