SUBJECT:		PETITION FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF SOUTHERN GROVE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT (CDD #3)

Attached please find a letter and petition from Paul Fanning, Esq. of Core Communities, requesting the establishment of six community development districts ("COD") within the Southern Grove Development of Regional Impact ("ORI"). Each petition and ordinance are under separate memo. This memo corresponds to the Southern Grove Community Development District #3. The petition for this COD includes the property owners' consent, the location and size of the property, the Board members, water, sewer, irrigation and drainage plans. The CDD is requesting all powers granted under Florida Statutes Chapter 190.
The petition includes a statement of estimated regulatory costs ("SERC") as required by statute. This provides the land uses and distribution proposed for the COD. The justification statement for the establishment of the COD and its ability to provide services to the district consistent with the City of Port St. Lucie's Comprehensive Plan is included within the SERC report.

Based upon the review of the information submitted and the Florida Statutes Chapter 190, the applicant meets the criteria set forth for the establishment of a Community Development District. Based upon the foregoing, I request that this item be placed on the City Council's agenda for consideration of the Community Development District #3 for tt1e Southern Grove DR!. Should you have any questions or need any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me at 871.5255.

Statement of Estimated Regulatory Cost

STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS
Southern Grove Community Development District No. 3

Introduction

Purpose and Scope

This statement of estimated regulatory costs ("SERC") supports the petition to form the Southern Grove Community Development District No. 3 ("District" or "COD"). The proposed District comprises approximately  848.053  acres of land on which Core Communities ("Developer'') plans to develop a portion of its Southern Grove project ("Development") as described below. The District  is one of a family of six CDDs proposed to provide community infrastructure  and services to the Development. As discussed below, this structure of six CDDs provides the most efficient means of planning, financing, constructing, operating and maintaining the infrastructure and services necessary to support the Development.

The Development is a large-scale, mixed-use, community comprising approximately 3,605 total acres. The Development plans include 5,833 single­ family homes, 1,555 multifamily homes, and 2,164,061 square feet of commercial/retail space, 2,073,238 square feet of offices, 500 hotel rooms, and 1,999,405 square feet of warehouse/industrial space. To support  this development program the six Districts would fund, in  the  aggregate approximately $633,000,000 for COD infrastructure by issuing approximately
$785,000,000 in total debt funding. The District proposes to  provide  infrastructure and community services to a portion of the Development as described more fully below.

The limitations on the scope of this SERC are explicitly set out in Section 190.002(2)(d), F.S. (governing District formation or alteration) as follows:

"That the process of establishing such a district pursuant to uniform general law shall be fair and based only on factors material to managing and financing the service delivery function of the district, so that any matter concerning  permitting or planning of the development is not material or relevant."

Overview of the proposed Community Development District

As noted above, the proposed District would provide community infrastructure, services, and facilities along with their operations and maintenance, to a portion of the Development. The Development plans for the 3,605 acres are summarized in Table 1. These are preliminary plans and are subject to change.

Requirements for Statement of Estimated Regulatory Costs

Section 120.541(2), F.S. (2002), defines the elements a statement of estimated regulatory costs must contain:
A good faith estimate of the number of individuals and entities likely to be required to comply with the rule, together with a general description of the types of individuals likely to be affected by the rule.

A good faith estimate of the cost to the agency, and to any other state and local government entities, of implementing and enforcing the  proposed rule, and any anticipated effect on state and local revenues.

A good faith estimate of the transactional costs likely to be incurred by individuals and entities, including local governmental entities, required to comply with the requirements of the rule. As used in this paragraph, "transactional costs" are direct costs that are readily ascertainable based upon standard business practices, and include filing fees, the cost of obtaining a license, the cost of equipment required to be installed or used or procedures required to be employed in complying with the rule, additional operating costs incurred, and the cost of monitoring and
reporting.
{d) An analysis of the impact on small businesses as defined  by  Section 288.703, F.S., and an analysis of the impact on small counties and small cities         as         defined         by         Section         120.52,          F.S., the City of Port St. Lucie is not defined as a small City for purposes of this
requirement.

Any additional information that the agency determines may be useful.

In the statement or revised statement, whichever applies, a description of any good faith written proposal submitted under paragraph (1) (a) and either a statement adopting the alternative or a statement or the reasons for rejecting the alternative in favor of the proposed rule.

2.0 A good faith estimate of the number of individuals and entities likely to be required to comply with the ordinance, together with a general description of the types of individuals likely to be affected by the ordinance.

As noted above, the proposed District will provide infrastructure and community services to a portion of the Development comprising  approximately  7,300 dwelling units along with more than 6,500,000 square feet of commercial, retail, office, warehouse, industrial, and hotel space planned for approximately 3,605 acres. All of the ultimate property owners in the District will  be  required  to comply with District rules and their properties will be encumbered with District obligations to pay for infrastructure and operations and maintenance expenses incurred by the District. Of course prior to the sell out of the real estate all of the undeveloped land owned by the Developer and any other landowner will also be under the jurisdiction of the District.

Good faith estimate of the cost to state and local government entities, of implementing and enforcing the proposed ordinance, and any anticipated effect on state and local revenues.

Costs to Governmental Agencies of Implementing and Enforcing Ordinance State Governmental Entities
There is no cost to State entities to review or to enforce the proposed ordinance. Since the District comprises less than 1,000 acres, the City of Port St. Lucie is the reviewing agency for the petition.

There are only modest additional ongoing costs to various State entities to implement and enforce the proposed ordinance. If approved, the District will be special purpose unit of local government. The District is required to file various reports to the State of Florida, the Department of Community Affairs and other agencies of the State. The filing requirements are outlined in Appendix A.  The cost to the State and its various departments to process additional  reports  filed by the District will be very small since the State already collects these  reports from numerous other units of government. The addition of one more  set  of reports will have very little cost impact. Finally, the District must pay a small annual filing fee to the Department of Community  Affairs to help offset  the costs to the State from the additional paperwork.

City of Port St. Lucie

The City of Port St. Lucie ("City") will receive the petition to form the proposed District.· The City will review and act upon the petition. These  activities  will absorb some time and resources of the City staff and City Council. However, these costs are very modest at most for the following reasons.

First, the review of this petition to form the District does not include an analysis of the Development itself. In fact, such a review of the Project is prohibited by statute. Second, the petition contains all of the information necessary for its review. Third, the City already has all of the staff necessary  to  review  the petition. Fourth, no capital costs are involved in the review. Fifth, the City is familiar with CDDs, a number of which already exist in the City. Sixth, the City routinely processes similar requests that are far more complicated than this petition to form the District. Finally, the filing fee will offset these costs.

The City will incur only a small additional annual cost if this petition is approved. The proposed District would be an independent unit of local government, so the District is responsible for its own budget, reporting, and the full conduct of its powers within its boundaries. The District will provide the City with its  budget each year, but no City action is required.

Impact on State and Local Revenues

Adoption of the proposed ordinance will have no negative impact on State or local revenues. The District is an independent unit of local government. It is designed to provide community facilities and services to serve the development. It has its own sources of revenue. No State or local subsidies are required or expected.

In this regard it is important to note that any debt obligations incurred by the District to construct its infrastructure, or for any other reason, are not debts of the State of Florida or any unit of local government. By State law debts of the District are strictly its own responsibility.

4.0 A good faith estimate of the transactional costs likely to be incurred by individuals and entities required to comply with the requirements of the ordinance

As noted above, the District is one of a family of six CDDs  proposed  to plan, fund, construct, operate and maintain community facilities and services  both within the boundaries of the various Districts and offsite as  well.  The Development comprises some 3,605 acres planned for a large-scale, mixed-use development project comprising more than 7,300 dwelling units and over 6,500,000 square feet of commercial, retail, office, hotel, warehouse,  and industrial space. A development program of this scale and magnitude requires a very large investment in infrastructure estimated to cost over  $633,000,000  in real 2006 dollars (without inflation). To fund this infrastructure program the Districts would issue approximately $785,000,000 in bonds.	·

As described below, a portion of this infrastructure is for offsite improvements for major roadways and other infrastructure systems connecting the Development to surrounding developments and to the City. These facilities serve all six of the Districts and benefit property within all of the Districts. These facilities will be termed Community Infrastructure. In addition, there are significant onsite improvements within each of the six Districts that primarily benefit properties located exclusively within each of the six Districts. These facilities will be termed District Infrastructure. The most efficient manner to plan,  fund,  construct, operate and maintain the Community Infrastructure and the District Infrastructure is to set up six Districts to serve the entire Development. The Districts will enter into a series of lnterlocal Agreements with each other whereby the Districts can coordinate the planning, funding, construction, operations and maintenance of  the Community Infrastructure while at the same time retaining the ability to plan, fund, construct, operate and maintain District Infrastructure needed to support development within their particular District. Since the land uses vary across the six Districts in material ways, this structure is very efficient. This the same structure used successfully at Tradition with its family of Districts.

The Districts plan to provide various community facilities and as outlined in Table
2. The Districts plans to fund all of the facilities outlined in Table 2.  The  roadways will be dedicated to the City, County or State of Florida  depending upon the roadway. The parks and recreational  facilities,  stormwater management system, water and sewer lines, lift stations and appurtenances will be dedicated to the City. The Districts will retain ownership of the landscape, streetscape and signage and the Districts (or one of the Districts to which authority has been delegated by the other Districts) will maintain these facilities.

*Portions of the facilities may be funded by a special assessment district formed by City.
The petitioner has estimated the costs for providing the capital facilities outlined  in Table 2, and these are shown in Table 3 below. Total costs for these facilities are estimated to be approximately $633,000,000. To fund this construction program the Districts (or one of the Districts to which authority has been delegated by the other Districts) may issue special assessment or other revenue bonds in phases with an estimated total cost of $785,000,000. These would be repaid through non-ad valorem assessments levied on all properties in the

Districts that may benefit from the capital improvement program as outlined in Table 2.

District

Source: Developer and Fishkind and Associates, Inc.

Prospective future landowners in the District may be required to pay non-ad valorem assessments levied by the District to secure the debt incurred through bond issuance. In addition to the levy of non-ad valorem assessments for debt service, the District may also impose a non-ad valorem assessment to fund the operations and maintenance of the District and its facilities and services.

It is important to note that the various costs outlined in Table 3 are typical for developments of the type contemplated here. In other words, there is nothing peculiar about the Districts' financing that requires additional infrastructure over and above what would normally be needed. Therefore, these costs are not in addition to normal development costs. Instead, the facilities and services provided by the Districts are substituting in part for developer-provided infrastructure and facilities. Along these same lines, District-imposed assessments for operations and maintenance costs are similar to what would be charged in any event by a property owner's association common to most master
planned developments.

Real estate markets are quite efficient, because buyers and renters evaluate  all of the costs and benefits associated with  various  alternative  locations. Therefore, market forces preclude developers from marking up the prices of their products beyond· what the competition allows. To remain competitive the operations and maintenance charges must also be in line with the competition.

Furthermore, locating in the District by new residents  is completely  voluntary. So, ultimately, all owners and users of the affected property choose to accept the District's costs in tradeoff for the benefits that the District provides.

The District is an alternative means to finance necessary community services. District financing is no more expensive, and often less expensive, than the allerni:ltives of a municipal service taxing unit (MSTU), a neighborhood association, City provision (directly or via a dependent special district), or through developer-bank loans.

5.0 n ,a.na!ysis of the impact on small busin_esses as defined by Section 288.703, F.S., and an analysis of the impact on small counties and small cities as defined by Section 120.52, F.S.

There will be no impact on small businesses because of the formation of the proposed District. If anything, the impact may be positive. This is because the District must competitively bid certain of its contracts. This affords small businesses the opportunity to bid on District work.

The development is located in the City of Port St. Lucie. As of the latest Census date, the 2000 Cerisus, the City has a population of more than  50,000.  Therefore, the proposed District is not located in a City defined as a "small" according to Section 120.52, F.S.

6.0	Any additional useful information

The analysis provided above is based on a. straightforward application of economic theory, especially as it relates to tracking the incidence of regulatory costs and benefits. Inputs were received from the Developer's Engineer  and other professionals associated with the Developer.

Finally, it is useful to reflect upon the question of whether the proposed formation of the District is the best alternative to provide community facilities and services  to the Development. As an alternative to the District, the City could approve a dependent special district for the area, such as an MSBU or a special taxing district under Chapter 170, F.S. Either of these alternatives could finance the improvements contemplated in Table 2 in a fashion similar to the proposed District.

I

However, each of these alternatives is inferior to the District.  Unlike the District the alternatives would require the City to continue to administer the project  and  its facilities and services. As a result, the costs for these services and facilities would not be sequestered to the land directly benefiting from t!1em, as the case would be with the District. In addition, administering a project of the  size and scale contemplated herein would make little sense for the City.

A District also is preferable from a government accountability perspective. With a District as proposed, residents and renters in the District would have a focused unit of government under their direct control. The District can then be more responsive to resident needs without disrupting other City responsibilities.

Another alternative to the District would be for the developer to provide the infrastructure and to use a property owne.r. a sociation (POA) for op9-mtions and maintenance of community facilities and services. A District is superior to a POA for a variety of reasons. First, unlike a POA a District can impose and collect its assessments along with other property taxes. Therefore, the District is far more assured of obtaining its needed funds than is a POA. Second, the proposed Districi is a unit of local government. Therefore, unlike the POA the District must abide by.all governmental rules and regulations.

NOTlCE  OF HEARING

Notice is hereby given that a hearing will be held on the_ day of 	,2006, at
 		p.m. in the City Council Chambers, 121 S. W. Port St. Lucie Boulevard, Port St. Lucie,
Florida, before the City Council of the City of Port St. Lucie, Florida, to consider the elements of a petition filed to establish a uniform community development district to be known as Southern Grove Community Development District No. 3 as authorized and provided for in Chapter 190, Florida Statutes. The information presented at this hearing will also be used to afford the petitioner, any affected units of local government, and the general public, a fair and adequate opportunity to appear and present oral and written comments regarding the establishment of the district.
The specific legal authority for the establishment of the district is Sections 190.004 and
, Florida Statutes.
The land area to be served by the district is located in Port St. Lucie, Florida and comprises approximately 848.053 contiguous acres. The boundaries of the properties to be serviced by the proposed Southern Grove Community Development District No. 3 are outlined in the map depicted in this notice. There is no real property within the boundaries of the district which will be excluded from the district.
lf adopted, the ordinance will establish a uniform community development district and
designate the land to be serviced by the district. A community development  district government is a mechanism to ensure the provision of infrastructure subject to state and local regulatory requirements governing the lawful use and development of the property. Creation and establishment of a district pursuant to Chapter 190, Florida Statutes, is not a development order under Chapter 380, Florida Statutes. All plam1ing, permitting and other regulatory requirements pertaining to development within the land area will be in accordance with general  and  special law and applicable ordinances.
The City Council complies with Section 190.005(2), Florida Statutes, in conducting this
public hearing, The purpose of this hearing is to consider the relationship of the petition as submitted to the six factors listed in Section 190.005(1)(e), Florida Statutes. These six factors are as follows:

All statements in the petition have been found to be true and correct;
The creation of the district is not inconsistent with any applicable elements or portion of the State of Florida's comprehensive plan or of the effective City comprehensive plan;
The area of land within the proposed district is of sufficient size, is sufficiently
compact, and is sufficiently contiguous to be developable as  one  functional interrelated community;
The district is the best alternative available for delivering community development
services and facilities to the area that will be served by the district;
The community development services and facilities of the district will not be incompatible l'{ith the capacjty and uses of existing local and regional community development services and facilities; and
The area that will be served by the district is amenable to separate special-district government.
An independent economic impact analysis prepared by Fishkind & Associates, Inc. has determined the categories of persons who may be affected by the economic conseqnences of the proposed district's establishment: the State of Florida and its citizens,  the City of Port St. Lucie  and its citizens; the petitioner, present and future owners of property within the areas to  be serviced by the district. The economic impact analysis anticipates the costs and benefits derived from the district's establishment and operation and describes the costs and benefits in detail.
A copy of the full text of the Southern Grove Community Development District No. 3 economic impact statement along with a copy of the full text of the petition  and  its documentation, is available for review at the office of the City Clerk, 121 S. W. Port St. Lucie Boulevard, Port St. Lucie, Florida.
