diverse mix of housing and regional employment and economic 51
development opportunities, rather than fragmented development 52

urban sprawl. 54
(g) The existence and use of such a special and limited 55
purpose local government for the Sunbridge Stewardship District 56
lands, subject to the respective jurisdiction's Osceola County 57

Stewardship District lands with long -term planning for 61
conservation, development, and agricultur e and silviculture on a 62
large scale; provide opportunities for the mitigation of impacts 63
and development of infrastructure in an orderly and timely 64
manner; prevent the overburdening of the local general purpose 65
government and the taxpayers; and provide an enhanced tax base 66
and regional employment and economic development opportunities. 67

required through the exercise of its special management 69
functions, an independent special district requires financing o f 70
those functions, including bondable lienable and nonlienable 71
revenue, with full and continuing public disclosure and 72
accountability, funded by landowners, both present and future, 73
and funded also by users of the systems, facilities, and 74
