RULE NO.:RULE TITLE:

42FFF-1.002Boundary of Surviving District

PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The District seeks to contract its boundaries by removing 2,499.74 acres.

SUMMARY: The Petition filed with the Commission proposes amendment of the District by removing approximately 2,499.74 acres from the existing boundaries. The District currently consists of 4,176.53 acres of land located within St. Johns County, Florida.

SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS AND LEGISLATIVE RATIFICATION:

The Agency has determined that this will not have an adverse impact on small business or likely increase directly or indirectly regulatory costs in excess of $200,000 in the aggregate within one year after the implementation of the rule. A SERC has not been prepared by the Agency.

However, a SERC was prepared by the Rivers Edge Community Development District as required by subsection 190.005(1)(a)8., FS. The complete text of the SERC is contained as Exhibit 8 to the petition. Generally, the SERC supports the petition to correct the boundaries of the District. The SERC generally finds:

• The amendment is not expected to have any material economic impact. Impact on overall business competitiveness and/or innovation resulting from the District contraction will be negligible, if any. There are no new or additional regulatory or transaction costs expected;

• The individuals and entities likely to be required to comply with the administrative rule or affected by the proposed action of amending the District are categorized as follows: (a) the State of Florida and its residents, (b) St. Johns County and its residents, (c) current property owners in the Modified District, (d) current property owners in the contraction area and (e) future property owners;

• There are only modest costs expected to be incurred by the State of Florida, St. Johns County, and the property owners within the District and the contraction parcels;

• There are no anticipated additional transactional costs associated with the adoption of an administrative rule to amend the District’s boundaries; and,

• Amendment of the District should not have any negative impact on small businesses.

The Agency has determined that the proposed rule is not expected to require legislative ratification based on the statement of estimated regulatory costs or if no SERC is required, the information expressly relied upon and described herein: See above SERC information.

The Agency has determined that the proposed rule is not expected to require legislative ratification based on the statement of estimated regulatory costs.

Any person who wishes to provide information regarding a statement of estimated regulatory costs, or provide a proposal for a lower cost regulatory alternative must do so in writing within 21 days of this notice.
