AI Summary
This bill creates the Corkscrew Grove Stewardship District, a special-purpose independent local government district located in Collier County, Florida. The district is designed to provide comprehensive community development and infrastructure services across approximately 4,662 acres of land. Key provisions include establishing a five-member board of supervisors initially elected by landowners, with a gradual transition to board members being elected by qualified residents as the district becomes populated. The district is granted broad powers to provide various public services and infrastructure, including water and sewer systems, roads, parks, schools, transportation, environmental mitigation, and other community facilities. The district can levy special assessments and, once it meets certain population thresholds, ad valorem taxes to fund its operations. The bill emphasizes that the district is not a comprehensive planning or zoning authority and must comply with Collier County's existing land development regulations. The district can issue bonds, enter into contracts, and has the ability to merge with community development districts within its boundaries. Each property sale within the district must include a disclosure statement informing potential buyers about the district's ability to levy taxes and assessments. The district is intended to provide a more coordinated and efficient approach to long-term community development and infrastructure planning in the specified area.
