AN

ORDINANCE

ESTABLISHING

VIVID

SHORES

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT PURSUANT TO SECTION 190.005(2), FLORIDA STATUTES; PROVIDING

FOR

THE

ESTABLISHMENT

OF

THE

COMMUNITY

DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT; DESCRIBING THE EXTERNAL

BOUNDARIES OF THE DISTRICT; NAMING THE INITIAL MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS; NAMING THE DISTRICT; PROVIDING THAT THE CITY OF BONITA SPRINGS MAY NOT AND SHALL NOT MODIFY OR DELETE ANY PROVISION OF THE DISTRICT CHARTER SET FORTH IN SECTIONS 190.006 - 190.041, FLORIDA STATUTES; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICT AND SEVERABILITY; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

WHEREAS, Pulte Home Company, LLC, a Michigan limited liability company, has

petitioned the City Council of the City of Bonita Springs, Florida (the "City") to establish VIVID

SHORES COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT; and

WHEREAS, the City Council (the "City Council"), after proper published notice,

conducted a local public information-gathering ordinance hearing as required by law and finds

as follows:

1.

The petition is complete in that it meets the requirements of Section

190.005(1)(a), Florida Statutes; and all statements contained within the petition are true and

correct.

2.

The City has reviewed and approved the petition for establishment of the

proposed district.

3.

The costs to the City and government agencies from establishment of the district

are nominal. There is no adverse impact on competition or employment from district

establishment. The persons affected by establishment are the future landowners, present

landowners, the City and its taxpayers, and the State of Florida. There is a net economic benefit

flowing to these persons from district establishment as the entity to manage and finance the

statutory services identified. The impact of district establishment and function on competition

and the employment market is marginal and generally positive, as is the impact on small

business. None of the reasonable public or private alternatives, including an assessment of

less costly and less intrusive methods and of probable costs and benefits of not adopting the

ordinance, is as economically viable as establishing the district. Methodology is set forth in the

economic impact statement on file. The statement of estimated regulatory costs of this petition

on district establishment is adequate.

4.

Establishment of the proposed district, whose charter is Section 190.006 -

190.041, Florida Statutes, was created by general law, is not inconsistent with the applicable

local Comprehensive Plan or the State Comprehensive Plan.

5.

The area of land within the proposed district is of sufficient size, is sufficiently

compact and is sufficiently contiguous to be developed as one functional interrelated

community.

6.

The  district  is  the  best  alternative	available	for  delivering	community

development services and facilities to the area that will be served by the district.

7.

The community development services and facilities of the district will be

compatible with the capacity and uses of existing local and regional community development

services and facilities.

8.

The area that will be served by the district is amenable to separate special district

government.

9.

The proposed district, once established, may petition the City Council for

consent to exercise one or more of the powers granted by charter in Section 190.012(2), Florida

Statutes.

10.

Upon  the effective  date of this Ordinance,  the proposed  Vivid Shores

Community Development District will be duly and legally authorized to exist and exercise all of

its general and special powers as limited by law; and has the right to seek consent from the

City for the grant of authority to exercise special powers in accordance with Section 190.012(2),

Florida Statutes, without question as to the district's continued right, authority and power to

exercise its limited powers as established by this Ordinance.

11.

All notice requirements of law were met and complete notice was timely given.
