 (1)  LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS AND INTENT; PURPOSE OF THE 44 
DISTRICT.— 45 
 (a)  The lands located wholly within Manatee County covered 46 
by this act contain many opportunities for thoughtful, 47 
comprehensive, responsible, and consistent development over a 48 
long period. 49 
 (b)  There is a need to use a special and limited purpose 50

independent special district unit of local government for the 51 
Northlake Stewardship District lands located within Manatee 52 
County to provide for a more comprehensive community development 53 
approach, which will facil itate an integral relationship among 54 
regional transportation, land use, and urban design to provide 55 
for a diverse mix of housing and regional employment and 56 
economic development opportunities, rather than fragmented 57 
development with underutilized infrastru cture which is generally 58 
associated with urban sprawl. 59 
 (c)  There is a considerably long period of time during 60 
which there is a significant burden to provide various systems, 61 
facilities, and services to the initial landowners of the 62 
Northlake Stewardship District lands, such that there is a need 63 
for flexible management, sequencing, timing, and financing of 64 
the various systems, facilities, and services to be provided to 65 
these lands, taking into consideration absorption rates, 66 
commercial viability, and relat ed factors. Therefore, extended 67 
control by the initial landowner with regard to the provision of 68 
systems, facilities, and services for the Northlake Stewardship 69 
District lands, coupled with the special and limited purpose of 70 
such district, is in the public interest. 71 
 (d)  While chapter 190, Florida Statutes, provides an 72 
opportunity for previous community development services and 73 
facilities to be provided by the continued use of community 74 
development districts in a manner that furthers the public 75

interest, given the size of the Northlake Stewardship District 76 
lands and the duration of development continuing to utilize 77 
multiple community development districts over these lands which 78 
would result in an inefficient, duplicative, and needless 79 
proliferation of local special purpose governments, contrary to 80 
the public interest and the Legislature's findings in chapter 81 
190, Florida Statutes, it is in the public interest that the 82 
long-range provision for, and management, financing, and long -83 
term maintenance, upkeep, and operation of, services and 84 
facilities to be provided for ultimate development and 85 
conservation of the lands covered by this act be under one 86 
coordinated entity. The creation of an independent special 87 
district will assist in integrating the management of s tate 88 
resources and allow for greater and more coordinated stewardship 89 
of natural resources. 90 
 (e)  The existence and use of a special and limited purpose 91 
local government for the Northlake Stewardship District lands, 92 
subject to the Manatee County comprehens ive plan, will provide 93 
for a comprehensive and complete community development approach 94 
to promote a sustainable and efficient land use pattern for the 95 
Northlake Stewardship District lands with long -term planning for 96 
conservation and development; provide op portunities for the 97 
mitigation of impacts and development of infrastructure in an 98 
orderly and timely manner; prevent the overburdening of the 99 
local general-purpose government and the taxpayers; and provide 100

an enhanced tax base and regional employment and e conomic 101 
development opportunities. 102 
 (f)  The creation and establishment of the special and 103 
limited purpose independent special district will encourage 104 
local government financial self -sufficiency in providing public 105 
facilities and in identifying and impleme nting fiscally sound, 106 
innovative, and cost -effective techniques to provide and finance 107 
public facilities while encouraging coordinated development of 108 
capital improvement plans by all levels of government, in 109 
accordance with the goals of chapter 187, Florid a Statutes. 110 
 (g)  The creation and establishment of a special and 111 
limited purpose independent special district is a legitimate 112 
supplemental and alternative method available to manage, own, 113 
operate, construct, and finance capital infrastructure systems, 114 
facilities, and services. 115 
 (h)  In order to be responsive to the critical timing 116 
required through the exercise of its special management 117 
functions, an independent special district requires financing of 118 
those functions, including bondable lienable and nonliena ble 119 
revenue, with full and continuing public disclosure and 120 
accountability, funded by landowners, both present and future, 121 
and funded also by users of the systems, facilities, and 122 
services provided to the land area by the special district, 123 
without unduly burdening the taxpayers, citizens, and ratepayers 124 
of the state or Manatee County. 125

any revenue-producing undertaking or activity of the district; 2764 
from special assessments; from benefit special assessments; or 2765 
from any other source or pledged security. Such bonds do not 2766

and consolidated into a single project. If the board deems it 2776 
advisable, the proceedings authorizing such revenue bonds may 2777 
provide that the district may thereafter combine the projects 2778 
then being financed or theretofore financed with other projects 2779 
to be subsequently financed by the district and that revenue 2780 
bonds to be thereafter issued by t he district shall be on parity 2781

holding such election. 2805

bonds for more than one capital project, the approval of the 2814 
issuance of the bonds for each and all such projects may be 2815 
submitted to the electors on one ballot. The failure of the 2816

capital projects does not defeat the approval of bonds for any 2818 
capital project which has been approved by the electors. 2819
