other affiliated and participating companies ("Petitioner") that are planning a
276.48+/- acre single family residential community ("Project'), generally located
east of NW 64"' Avenue, north of NW 441" Street, west of Rock Island Road and
south of West Commercial Boulevard in the City of Tamarac, Florida ("City").
The District anticipates providing community infrastructure that will serve all the
land in the proposed District. The proposed District plans to provide community
infrastructure including, but not necessarily limited to, stormwater management
system, water distribution system, wastewater collection system, roadway
improvements, open spaces and associated landscaping (the "Infrastructure"). The
proposed District plans to finance the Infrastructure by issuing bonds ("Bonds")
secured by, among other things, proceeds of non -ad valorem special assessments
(the "Assessments") levied on land within the proposed District that will specially
benefit from the Infrastructure all as discussed more fully below.
1.2 Scope of the Analysis
The limitations on the scope of this SERC are explicitly set out in Section
190.002(2) (d), Fla.Stat. (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 (emphasis added)."
As noted above, the proposed District anticipates providing Infrastructure and
related services with operation and maintenance, to the 276.48+/- acres comprising
the Project. The current development plan for the land contained in the proposed
District is for 335 single family homes.
1.3 Requirements for Statement of Estimated Regulatory Costs.
Section 120.541(2), F.S., defines the elements a statement of estimated regulatory
costs must contain:
(a) An economic analysis showing whether the rule directly or indirectly:
1. Is likely to have an adverse impact on economic growth, private sector job
creation or employment, or private sector investment in excess of $1 million in the
aggregate within 5 years after the implementation of the rule;
2. Is likely to have an adverse impact on business competitiveness, including the
ability of persons doing business in the state to compete with persons doing
business in other states or domestic markets, productivity, or innovation in excess
of $1 million in the aggregate within 5 years after implementation of the rule; or
3. Is likely to increase regulatory costs, including any transactional costs, in excess
of $1 million in the aggregate within 5 years after the implementation of the rule.
(b) 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.
(c) 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 or local revenues.
(d) 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 section, "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, the cost of monitoring and
reporting, and any other costs necessary to comply with the rule.
(e) 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 in
Section 120.52, Fla.Stat. The impact analysis for small businesses must include
the basis for the agency's decision not to implement alternatives that would reduce
adverse impacts on small businesses.
(f) Any additional information that the agency detennines may be useful.
(g) In the statement or revised statement, whichever applies, a description of any
regulatory alternatives submitted under paragraph (1) (a)[of Section 120.541, Fla.
Stat.] and a statement adopting the alternative or a statement of the reasons for
rejecting the alternative in favor of the proposed rule.
2.0 (a) An economic analysis showing whether the rule directly or indirectly is
likely to (1) have an adverse impact on economic growth, private sector job
creation or employment, or private sector investment in excess of $ 1 million in
the aggregate within 5 years after the implementation of the rule; (2) have an
adverse impact on business competitiveness, including the ability of persons
doing business in the state to compete with persons doing business in other
states or domestic markets, productivity, or innovation in excess of $1 million
in the aggregate within 5 years after implementation of the rule; or (3) increase
regulatory costs, including any transactional costs, in excess of $1 million in
the aggregate within 5 years after the implementation of the rule.
It is unlikely the establishment/creation of the District will meet any of the triggers
in Section 120.541(2)(a), Fla. Stat. The basis for this determination is provided in
the discussions in Section 3.0 through Section 6.0 herein.
3.0 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.
As noted above, the proposed District will provide Infrastructure and related
services to the 276.48+11- acres of land planned for the Project. 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 operation and maintenance expenses incurred by the District.
Based on the current development program the following entities and individuals
would be affected by the formation of the District are the owners and occupants of
the residential units within the District.
4.0 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 or local revenues.
4.1 Costs to Governmental Entities of Implementing and Enforcing Rule
State Governmental Entities
The cost to State entities to review or enforce the proposed rule will be very
modest. The District comprises less than 2,500 acres. Therefore, the City will
review and act upon the petition to establish the District.
There are minimal additional ongoing costs to various State entities to implement
and enforce the proposed rule. The District is a special purpose unit of local
government, and it is required to file various reports to the State of Florida, the
Department of Economic Opportunity and other agencies of the State. The filing
requirements are outlined in Appendix A. However, the additional costs to the
State and its various departments to process the additional filings from the District
are very low, since the State routinely processes filings from over 500 similar
districts. Finally, the filing fees paid by the District are designed to offset any
additional costs to the State.
City of Tamarac
This petition to establish the District will require the City to review the petition and
its supporting exhibits. In addition, the City will hold public hearing(s) to discuss
the petition and to take public input. These activities will absorb staff time and
time of the City Commission. The boundaries of the District are located within the
City.
However, the costs of these activities 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 Project 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 routinely processes
similar petitions for land use and zoning changes that are far more complicated than
this petition to form the District. Finally, Petitioner will pay all statutorily
prescribed filing fees, as set forth by the City.
The City will incur only a small additional annual cost if this petition is approved.
The proposed District is 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 only annual costs the City faces are the minimal costs of
receiving and reviewing the various reports that the District is required to provide
to the City.
4.2 Impact on State or Local Revenues
Adoption of the proposed rule 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 other unit of local government except the District. By State law,
debts of the District are strictly its own responsibility.
5.0 A good faith estimate of the transactional costs likely to be incurred by
individuals and entities required to comply with the requirements of the rule
The District may provide Infrastructure and related services to the land in the
District, as outlined in Table 1 below.

Petitioner has estimated the costs for providing the Improvements as outlined in
Table 1, and such costs are shown in Table 2. Total costs for this Infrastructure are
estimated to be approximately $28,297,153. To fund this construction program, in
whole or in part, the District may issue Bonds, which will be repaid through non -
ad valorem assessments levied on all lands in the District that benefit from the
District's Infrastructure and related services as outlined in Table 1.

Stormwater Management System _ _ $ 5,933,192
Water Distribution System $ 3,371,918
Wastewater Collection System $ 8,207,079
Roadway Improvements $ 9,172,231
Open Space/Landscaping $ 1,792,103
Total -� ------ $28,297, (53
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
Bonds. 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 2 are typical for
developments of the type contemplated here. In other words, there is nothing
peculiar about the District's 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 District 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
owners' association common to most master-plaiuled 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 landowners 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
alternatives of a municipal service taxing unit (MSTU), a neighborhood
association, or through developer bank loans.
6.0 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
in 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. As of the 2020 Census date, the City has a
population in excess of 10,000 people. Therefore, the proposed District is not
located in a City defined as a "small city", according to Section 120.52, Fla. Stat..
7.0 Any, additional useful information and description of regulatory alternatives.
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 Petitioner's Engineer and other professionals
associated with Petitioner.
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 Project. As an alternative to the District, the City could approve a dependent
special district for the area, such as a special taxing district under Chapter 189, Fla.
Stat. This alternative could finance the improvements contemplated in Table 1 in
a fashion similar to the proposed District.
However, this alternative is inferior to the District. Unlike the District, the
alternative 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 them, as the case would be
with the District.
A District also is preferable from a government accountability perspective. With a
District as proposed, landowners and lessees in the District would have a focused
unit of government under their direct control. The District would be more
responsive to landowner 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 owners association ("POA") for operation 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 has the ability to 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 District is a unit of local government. Therefore, unlike the POA the
District must abide by all governmental rules and regulations.
