and Members, Bo ty Com ' Toners (Public Hearing 1-20-21)
From: Carlos A. Gimen
Mayor
Subject: Ordinance Creating the Sawyer's Landing Community Development District
Recommendation
It is recommended that the Board of County Commissioners (Board) adopt the attached Ordinance
creating the Sawyer's Landing Community Development District (CDD) in the City of Miami, Florida,
pursuant to the authority granted by the Miami -Dade County Home Rule Charter for the purposes set forth
in Chapter 190 of the Florida Statutes, subject to the acceptance of the declaration of restrictive covenants
running with the lands within the jurisdiction of the CDD.
Scope
This Sawyer's Landing CDD is located within Commission District 3, represented by Commissioner
Audrey M. Edmonson and will provide funding for capital improvements, as well as multipurpose
maintenance functions, within the CDD.
Fiscal Impact/Fundinu Source
The creation of the Sawyer's Landing CDD will have no fiscal impact to the County. CDD funding is
derived from assessments levied against the properties within the CDD, which are secured by a lien
against the properties and collected directly by the CDD or through the annual Combined Real Property
tax bill pursuant to an interlocal agreement with the County.
Social Equitv Statement
The proposed Ordinance grants a petition for the creation of the Sawyer's Landing CDD, pursuant to the
procedures and factors set forth in Section 190.046, Florida Statutes.
If approved, pursuant to Chapter 190, Florida Statutes, the CDD will have the power to levy taxes and
special assessments and charge, collect, and enforce fees and other user charges affecting property owners
within the proposed district, regardless of their demographics or income levels. The CDD is a timely,
efficient, effective, responsive, and economic way to deliver and finance basic community development
services.
Track Record/Monitor
This development has public roads that are to be maintained by a Property Owner's Association (POA) or
the Sawyer's Landing CDD. A Multipurpose Maintenance Special Taxing District will be created to
maintain the development's infrastructure, such as roadway improvements, storm drainage and
landscaping, should the CDD be dissolved or fail to fulfill its maintenance obligations. The Special
Taxing District will remain dormant until such time as the County determines to implement the district.
Oversight of CDDs is the responsibility of the State.

Background
Downtown Retail Associates, LLC., ("Petitioner"), the petitioner of the Sawyer's Landing Development,
has filed an application to create the Sawyer's Landing CDD in connection with said development.
Sawyer's Landing is a proposed 3.42 acres residential development lying wholly within the City of
Miami, in an area bounded by NW 2 Avenue on the east, NW 6 Street on the south, NW 3 Avenue on the
west, and NW 7 Street on the north. The Sawyer's Landing CDD is designed to provide a financing
mechanism for community infrastructure, facilities, and services along with certain ongoing operations
and maintenance for the Sawyer's Landing CDD. The development plan for the lands within the proposed
Sawyer's Landing CDD includes construction of retail space and approximately 556 apartment units with
associated roadway improvements, stormwater management system, wastewater collection system,
landscaping, open space, lighting and signage, parking facilities, and water distribution system, which are
estimated to cost approximately $72.387 million. This development has public and private roads that are
to be maintained by a POA or the Sawyer's Landing CDD. A detailed summary of CDD elements, as well
as the cost and anticipated lack of fiscal impacts to government agencies, are presented in the attached
application submitted by the Petitioner. In accordance with Chapter 190, Florida Statutes, the Petitioner
has paid a filing fee of $15,000.00 to the County and an additional $15,000.00 for future advertising costs
according to State Statute.
A declaration of restrictive covenants has been submitted consistent with the requirements of Resolution
No. R-413-05 adopted by the Board on April 5, 2005, and as amended by Resolution No. R-883-06, which
was adopted on July 18, 2006, to add language regarding the option to pay capital assessments in full at
the time of closing. The declaration of restrictive covenants provides for: (1) notice in the public records
of the projected taxes and assessments to be levied by the Sawyer's Landing CDD; (2) individual prior
notice to the initial purchaser of a residential lot or unit within the development; and (3) provisions for
remedial options to initial purchasers whose contract for sale did not include timely notice of the existence
and extent of CDD liens and special assessments.
This Board is authorized by the Florida Constitution and the County Home Rule Charter to establish
governmental units, such as this CDD, within the County and to prescribe such government's jurisdiction
and powers.

STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS

STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS
Sawyer's Landing Community Development District
1.0 Introduction
1.1 Purpose
This statement of estimated regulatory costs ("SERC") supports the petition to
form the Sawyer's. Landing Community Development District ("District" or
"CDD"). Downtown Retail Associates, LLC ("Petitioner") is master planning a
+/- 3.42 acre mixed -use community, Sawyer's Landing ("Project"), located
between NW 2 Avenue on the east, NW 3 Avenue on the west, NW 6 Street on
the south and NW 7 Street on the north in the City of Miami ("City"), Miami -
Dade County ("County"), Florida.
The District will provide community Infrastructure that will serve all the land in
the proposed District. The District plans to provide community infrastructure
including, but not necessarily limited to, water distribution improvements,
wastewater collection improvements, roadway improvements, stormwater
management improvements, landscape, open space, lighting and signage
improvements, parking facilities and other community improvements to support
the development of the Project.. The District plans to finance community
Infrastructure by issuing bonds ("Bonds") secured by, among other things,
proceeds of non -ad valorem special assessments (the "Assessments") levied on
land within the District that will specially benefit from the community
infrastructure all as discussed more fully below.
1.2 Scope of the Analysis
The limitations on the scope of this SERC are explicitly set out in Section
190.002(2) (d), F.S. (governing District formation or alteration) as. follows:
"That the process of establishing such a district pursuant to uniform general law
shall be fair and based only on factors material to managing and .financing the
service delivery function of the district, so that any matter concerning permitting
or planning of the development is not material or relevant (emphasis added)."
As noted above, the proposed District intends to provide community
infrastructure and services along with their operations and maintenance, to the
approximately 3.42 acres comprising the Project.. The current development
program for the land contained in the District is shown in Table 1 below. These
plans are subject to change as market conditions may dictate in the future. .
CIE-9
Table 1. Sawyer's Landing Community Development District
Development Program
Retail space +/- 353,470 square feet
Apartment units +/- 556.units
1.3 Requirements for Statement of Estimated Regulatory Costs
Section 120.541(2), F.S., defines the elements a statement of estimated regulatory
costs must contain:
(a) An economic analysis showing whether the rule directly or indirectly:
1. Is likely to have an adverse impact on economic growth, private sector job
creation or employment, or private sector investment in excess of $1 million in
the aggregate within 5 years after the implementation of the rule;.
2. Is likely to have an adverse impact on business competitiveness, including the
ability of persons doing business in the state to compete with persons doing
business in other states or domestic markets, productivity, or innovation in excess
of $1 million in the aggregate within 5 years after implementation of the rule; or
3. Is likely to increase regulatory costs, including any transactional costs, in
excess of $1 million in the aggregate within 5 years after the implementation of
the rule.
(b) A good faith estimate of the number of individuals and entities likely to be
required to comply with the rule, together with a general description of the types
of individuals likely to be affected by the rule.
(c) A good faith estimate of the cost to the agency, and to any other state and local
government entities, of implementing and enforcing the proposed rule, and any
anticipated effect on state and local revenues.
(d) A good faith. estimate of the transactional costs likely to be incurred by
individuals and entities, including local governmental entities, required to comply
with the requirements of the rule. As used in this paragraph, "transactional costs"
are direct costs that are readily ascertainable based upon standard business
practices, and include filing fees, the cost of obtaining a license,. the cost of
equipment required to be installed or used or procedures required to be employed
in complying with the rule, additional operating costs incurred, and the cost of
monitoring and reporting.
(e) An analysis of the impact on small businesses as defined by Section 288.703,
F.S., and an analysis of the impact on small counties and small cities as defined
G
by Section 120.52, F.S. The City is not defined as a small city for purposes of
this requirement.
(f) Any additional information that the agency determines may be useful.
(g) In the statement or revised statement., whichever. applies, a description of any
good faith written proposal submitted under paragraph (1) (a)[of Section 120.541,
F.S.] and either a statement adopting the alternative or a statement of the reasons
for rejecting the alternative in favor of the proposed rule."
2.0 (a) An economic analysis showing whether the rule directly or indirectly is
likely to (1) have an adverse impact on economic growth, private sector job
creation or employment, or private sector investment in excess of $1 million
in the aggregate within 5 years after the implementation of the rule; (2) have
.an adverse impact on business competitiveness, including the ability of
persons doing business in the state to compete with persons doing business in
other states or domestic markets, productivity, or innovation in excess of $1
million in the aggregate within 5 years after implementation of the rule; or
(3) increase regulatory costs, including any transactional costs, in excess of $1
million in the aggregate within 5 years after the implementation of the rule.
It is unlikely the establishment/creation. of the District will meet any of the
triggers in Section 120.541(2)(a), F.S. The basis for this determination is provided
in the discussions in Section 3.0 through Section 6.0 herein.
3.0 . A good faith estimate of the number of individuals and entities likely to be
required to comply with the ordinance, together with a general description of
the types of individuals likely to be affected by the ordinance
As noted above, the proposed District will provide infrastructure and community
services to the +/-3.42 acres of land planned for the Project as outlined in Table 1.
All of the ultimate property owners in the District will be required to comply with
District rules and their properties will be encumbered with District obligations to
pay for infrastructure and operations and maintenance expenses incurred by the
District. Based on the current development program the following entities and
individuals would be affected by the formation of the District: the owners and
occupants of (a) +/- 556 apartment unist and +/- 353,470 square feet. of retail
space. Prior to the development and sale of the real estate, all of the undeveloped
land owned by Petitioner and any other landowner within the District boundaries
will also be under the jurisdiction of the District.
4.0 Good faith estimate of the cost to state and local government entities, of
implementing and enforcing the proposed ordinance, and any anticipated
effect on state and local revenues
4.1 Costs to Governmental Agencies of Implementing and Enforcing Ordinance
M
State Governmental Entities
The cost to State entities to review or enforce the proposed ordinance will be very
modest. The District comprises less than 2,500 acres. Therefore, the County will
review and act upon the petition to establish the District.
There are minimal additional ongoing costs to various State.entities to implement
and enforce the proposed ordinance. The District is a special purpose unit of local
government, and it is required to file various reports to the State of Florida, the
Department of Economic Opportunity and other agencies of the State. The filing
requirements are outlined in Appendix A. However, the additional costs to the
State and its various departments to process the additional filings from the District
are very low, since the State routinely processes filings from over 500 similar
districts. Finally, the filing fees paid by the District are designed to offset any
additional costs to the State.
Miami -Dade Countv and the Citv of Miami
This petition to establish the District will require the County to review the. petition
and its supporting exhibits. In addition, the County will hold public hearings to
discuss the petition and to take public input. These activities will -absorb. staff
time and time of the County Commission.
However, these costs are very modest at most for the following reasons. First, the
review of this petition to form the District does not include an analysis of the
Project itself. In fact, such a review of the Project is prohibited by statute.
Second, the petition. contains all of the information necessary for its review.
Third, the County already has all of the staff necessary to review the petition.
Fourth, no capital costs are involved in the review. Fifth, the County routinely
processes similar petitions for land use and zoning changes that are far. more
complicated than this petition to form the District. Finally, Petitioners will pay a
statutorily prescribed filing fee to the County designed to offset these costs.
The County will incur only a small additional annual. cost if this petition is
approved. The proposed District is. an independent unit of local government, so
the District is responsible for its own budget, reporting, and the full conduct of its
powers within its boundaries. The District will provide the City and the County
with its budget each year, but no City or County action is required.
4.2 Impact on State and Local Revenues
Adoption of the .proposed ordinance will have no negative impact on State or
local revenues. The District is an independent unit of local government. It is
designed to provide community facilities and services to serve the development.
It has its own sources. of revenue. No State or local. subsidies are required or
expected.

In this regard it is important to note that any debt obligations incurred by the
District to construct its infrastructure, or for any other reason, are not debts of the
State of Florida or any other unit of local government except the District. By
State law, debts of the District are strictly its own responsibility.
5.0 A good faith estimate of the transactional costs likely to be incurred by
individuals and entities required to comply with the requirements of the
ordinance
The District plans to provide various community facilities and services to the land
in the District, as outlined in Table 2 below. The District plans to fund, own,
operate and maintain the landscape, hardscape, lighting and signage, and part of
the stormwater management improvements. The District plans to fund the public
roadways, utilities, additional stormwater management improvements, and
parking facilities, all of which will be owned by the District or dedicated to the
County or City, and the County or City will operate and maintain these dedicated
public infrastructure facilities.

Petitioners have estimated the costs for providing the capital facilities as outlined
in Table 2, and these are shown in Table 3. Total costs for these facilities and
land allocation are estimated to be approximately $72,387,000. To fund this
construction program, in whole or in part, the District may issue special
assessment or other revenue bonds. The Bonds would be repaid through non -ad
valorem assessments levied on all lands in the District that may benefit from the
District's proposed facilities and services as outlined in Table 2 and any other
available revenue source.

Prospective future landowners in the District may be required to pay non -ad
valorem assessments levied by the District to secure the debt incurred through
bond issuance. In addition to the levy of non -ad valorem assessments for debt
service, the District may also impose a non -ad valorem assessment to fund the
operations and maintenance of the District and its facilities and services.
It is important to note that the various costs outlined in Table 3 are typical for
developments of the type contemplated here. In other words, there is nothing
peculiar about the District's financing that requires additional infrastructure over
and above what would normally be needed. Therefore, these costs are not in
addition to normal development costs. Instead, the facilities and services
provided by the District are substituting in part for developer -provided
infrastructure and facilities. Along these same lines, District -imposed
assessments for operations and maintenance costs are similar to what would be
charged in any event by a property owners' association common to most master
planned developments.
Real estate markets are quite efficient, because buyers and renters evaluate all of
the costs and benefits associated with various alternative locations. Therefore,
market forces preclude developers from marking up the prices of their products
beyond what the competition allows. To remain competitive the operations and
maintenance charges must also be in line with the competition.
Furthermore, locating in the District by new landowners is completely voluntary.
So, ultimately, all owners and users of the affected property choose to accept the
District's costs in tradeoff for the benefits that the District provides.
The District is an alternative means to finance necessary community services.
District financing is no more expensive, and often less expensive, than the
alternatives of a municipal service taxing unit (MSTU), a neighborhood
43
association, City provision (directly or via a dependent special district), or
through developer bank loans.
6.0 An analysis of the impact on small businesses as defined by Section 288.703,
F.S., and an analysis of the impact on small counties and small cities as
defined by Section 120.52, F.S.
There will be no impact on small businesses because of the formation of the
proposed District. If anything, the impact may be positive. This is because the
District must competitively bid certain of its contracts. This affords small
businesses the opportunity to bid on District work.
The development is located in the City Miami. As of the Census date, the 2010
Census, the City has a population of in excess of 10,000 people. Therefore, the
proposed District is not located in a City defined as a "small city" (10,000)
according to Section 120.52, F.S.
7.0 Any additional useful information.
The analysis provided above is based on a straightforward application of
economic theory, especially as it relates to tracking the incidence of regulatory
costs and benefits. Inputs were received from Petitioners' Engineer and other
professionals associated with Petitioners.
Finally, it is useful to reflect upon the question of whether the proposed formation
of the District is the best alternative to provide community facilities and services
to the Project. As an alternative to the District, the City or County could approve a
dependent special district for the area, such as a Municipal Service Benefit Unit
("MSBU") or a special taxing district under Chapter 170, F.S. Either of these
alternatives could finance the improvements contemplated in Table 2 in a fashion
similar to the proposed District.
However, each of these alternatives is inferior to the District. Unlike the District,
the alternatives would require the City or County to continue to administer the
Project and its facilities and services. As a result, the costs for these services and
facilities would not be sequestered to the land directly benefiting from them, as
the case would be with the District.
A District also is preferable from a government accountability perspective. With
a District as proposed, landowners and renters in the District would have a
focused unit of government under their direct control. The District can then be
more responsive to landowner needs without disrupting other City or County
responsibilities.
Another alternative to the District would be for the developer to provide the
infrastructure and to use a property owners association ("POA") for operations
and maintenance of community facilities and services. A District is superior to a
POA for a variety of reasons. First, unlike a POA, a District can impose and
collect its assessments along with other property taxes. Therefore, the District is
far more assured of obtaining its needed funds than is a POA. Second, the
proposed District is. a unit of local government. Therefore, unlike the POA the
District must abide by all governmental rules and regulations.
