TITLE XIII PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT
Chapter 190 Community Development Districts  
190.004   Preemption; sole authority.

190.004  Preemption; sole authority.--

(1)  This act constitutes the sole authorization for the future establishment of independent community development districts which have any of the specialized functions and powers provided by this act.

(2)  This act does not affect any community development district or other special district existing on June 29, 1984; and existing community development districts will continue to be subject to the provisions of chapter 80-407, Laws of Florida.

(3)  The establishment of an independent community development district as provided in this act is not a development order within the meaning of chapter 380. All governmental planning, environmental, and land development laws, regulations, and ordinances apply to all development of the land within a community development district. Community development districts do not have the power of a local government to adopt a comprehensive plan, building code, or land development code, as those terms are defined in the Local Government Comprehensive Planning and Land Development Regulation Act. A district shall take no action which is inconsistent with applicable comprehensive plans, ordinances, or regulations of the applicable local general-purpose government.

(4)  The exclusive charter for a community development district shall be the uniform community development district charter as set forth in ss. 190.006 through 190.041, including the special powers provided by s. 190.012.
