Purpose


The purpose of this proposed rule is to establish a community development district (“CDD”), the Kendall Creek Community Development District (“District”), pursuant to Chapter 190, F.S. The petition filed by The St. Joe Company requests the Commission establish a community development district located entirely within the unincorporated limits of St. Johns County, Florida. A Notice of Receipt of Petition for the Kendall Creek Community Development District was published in the February 3, 2006, edition of the Florida Administrative Weekly. The land area proposed to be served by the District comprises approximately 4,086.6 acres. A general location map is contained as Exhibit 1 to the petition to establish the District. There are no out-parcels within the external boundaries of the proposed District which are to be excluded from the District. The Petitioner either owns or has obtained written consent to establish the District from the landowners of one hundred percent (100%) of non-governmental real property located within the proposed District. The lands within the Kendall Creek CDD will accommodate approximately 3,700 single-family homes; 775 multi-family units; 80,000 square feet of retail/commercial/service space; 11,000 square feet of offices; 100,000 square feet of light industrial space; 18 holes of golf; 131 acres of parks; and 1 public school. The lands to be included in the District are located in the RiverTown Development of Regional Impact. The District, if established, plans to fund, own, operate and maintain the stormwater management system, certain roadways and the District’s recreation facilities including parks and amenities. The District will fund and construct the County public roadways and County public parks, and will dedicate them to the County. Water and wastewater utilities will be provided by JEA and owned by the JEA.
