The Split Pine Community Development District (“Split Pine CDD”), which is located in Duval County, Florida, and the Tolomato Community Development District (“Tolomato CDD”), which is located in St. Johns County, Florida, have submitted a joint petition requesting the merger of the two districts. As a result of the merger, Split Pine CDD would cease to exist, and Tolomato CDD would continue as the surviving entity, with amended boundaries that would encompass only the land presently in the existing boundaries of both Split Pine CDD and Tolomato CDD. At the time of establishment of both districts, Section 190.003 of the Florida Statutes prohibited the establishment of community development districts across county boundaries. Effective July 1, 2007, that prohibition no longer exists. Split Pine CDD and Tolomato CDD have written consent to merge the boundaries of the two districts from the owners of one hundred percent of the land within the existing districts. The proposed rule would effect the merger in part by repealing the existing rules governing Split Pine CDD – specifically, Florida Administrative Code Rules 42TT-1.001, Establishment, 42TT-1.002, Boundary, and 42TT-1.003, Supervisors, F.A.C. Another proposed rule, which is separately noticed for simultaneous consideration, would further effect the merger by amending Rule 42SS-1.002, , F.A.C., Boundary to expand the boundaries of Tolomato CDD to include the existing Split Pine CDD lands.
