AN ORDINANCE To Be Entitled:

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT MYERS, FLORIDA, ESTABLISHING THE COLONIAL COUNTRY CLUB COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT; DESCRIBING THE EXTERNAL BOUNDARIES OF THE DISTRICT; NAMING THE INITIAL MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS; NAMING THE DISTRICT; CONFIRMING THE DISTRICT CHARTER SET FORTH IN FLORIDA STATUTES SECTIONS 190.006-190.041, PROVIDING FOR CONFLICT AND SEVERABILITY; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

  1. WHEREAS: Pulte Home Corporation has petitioned the City Council of the City of Fort Myers to establish the Colonial Country Club Community Development District; and,
  2. WHEREAS: The City Council, after proper published notice, conducted a local public information-gathering hearing as requited by law and finds as follows:
  3. The petition is complete in that it meets the requirements of Florida Statutes, Section 190.005(1)(a), and all statements contained within the petition are true and correct. The City staff and City Attorney have reviewed and approved the petition for establishment of the proposed district. The costs to the City and government agencies from establishment of the district are nominal. There is no adverse impact on competition or employment from district establishment. The persons affected by establishment are the future landowners, present landowners, City of Fort Myers and its taxpayers, and the State of Florida. There is a net economic benefit flowing to these persons from district establishment as the entity to manage and finance the statutory services identified. The impact of district establishment and function on competition and the employment market is marginal and generally positive, as is the impact on small business. None of the reasonable public or private alternatives, including an assessment of less costly and less intrusive methods and of probable costs and benefits of not adopting the rule, is as economically viable as establishing the district. Methodology is set forth in the economic impact statement on file in the City Clerk’s Office. The statement of estimated regulatory costs of the petitioner on district establishment is adequate.
  4. Establishment by ordinance of the proposed district, created by general law and whose charter is Florida Statutes Section 190.006 – Section 190.041, is not inconsistent with the City of Fort Myers Comprehensive Plan and is not inconsistent with the State Comprehensive Plan.
  5. 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.
  6. The district is the best alternative available for delivering community development services and facilities to the area that will be serviced by the district.
  7. The community development systems, facilities and services of the district will not be incompatible with the capacity and uses of existing local and regional community development services and facilities.
  8. The area that will be served by the district is amenable to separate special district government.
  9. The proposed district, once established, may petition the City Council for consent to exercise one or more of the powers granted by charter in Florida Statutes, Section 190.012(2), the exercise of which has been reviewed and assessed as of the effective date of this ordinance. Nothing herein constitutes consent by the City of the exercise by the district of any one of the special powers set forth in Florida Statutes, Section 190.012(2).
  10. That upon the effective date of this Ordinance, the proposed Colonial Country Club Community Development District shall be duly and legally established and created, authorized to exist and to exercise all of its general and special powers limited by its general law charter and that consent by the City of Fort Myers in any future ordinance to any special power in Florida Statutes, Section 190.012(2), does not in any way revisit the question of establishment of the district and its authority and power to exercise its limited powers under law.
  11. All notice requirements of law were met and complete notice was timely given.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF CITY OF FORT MYERS, FLORIDA, that:

SECTION 1. DISTRICT NAME. The community development district herein established shall henceforth be known as Colonial Country Club Community Development District.

SECTION 2. AUTHORITY FOR ORDINANCE, This Ordinance is adopted pursuant to Florida Statutes Section 190.005, and other applicable provisions of law governing city ordinances.

SECTION 3. ESTABLISHMENT OF COLONIAL COUNTRY CLUB COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT. Colonial Country Club Community Development District, created by law, is hereby established within the boundaries of the real property described in Exhibit “A” attached hereto and incorporated by referenced.

SECTION 4, DESIGNATION OF INITIAL BOARD MEMBERS. The following five (5) persons are herewith designated to be the initial members of the Board of Supervisors:
