The Rural Cluster land use designation in the Alachua County Comprehensive Plan recognizes historic rural
communities located outside of the county’s urban area. There are thirteen Rural Clusters designated in the Comprehensive Plan,
with related policies addressing land use and the process for delineating boundaries for these areas.

The County is in the process of reviewing the policies for Rural Clusters, with specific focus on the language which calls for the delineation of precise boundaries for each of the Rural Clusters through a phased schedule of special area plans. County staff is developing draft changes to the Rural Cluster policies for review by the Board of County Commissioners at a public workshop.
Generalized Rural Cluster boundaries are shown on the interactive map below as red circles.
