532 cost owed for the actuarial accrued liability in sub-sub

860 190.046 Termination, contraction, or expansion of
861 district.—
862 (1) A landowner or the board may petition to contract or

864 following manner:
865 (h) For a petition to establish a new community development
866 district of less than 2,500 acres on land located solely in one
867 county or one municipality, sufficiently contiguous lands
868 located within the county or municipality which the petitioner
869 anticipates adding to the boundaries of the district within 10
870 years after the effective date of the ordinance establishing the
871 district may also be identified. If such sufficiently contiguous
872 land is identified, the petition must include a legal
873 description of each additional parcel within the sufficiently
874 contiguous land, the current owner of the parcel, the acreage of
875 the parcel, and the current land use designation of the parcel.
876 At least 14 days before the hearing required under s.
877 190.005(2)(b), the petitioner must give the current owner of
878 each such parcel notice of filing the petition to establish the
879 district, the date and time of the public hearing on the
880 petition, and the name and address of the petitioner. A parcel
881 may not be included in the district without the written consent
882 of the owner of the parcel.
883 1. After establishment of the district, a person may
884 petition the county or municipality to amend the boundaries of
885 the district to include a previously identified parcel that was
886 a proposed addition to the district before its establishment. A
887 filing fee may not be charged for this petition. Each such
888 petition must include:
889 a. A legal description by metes and bounds of the parcel to
890 be added;
891 b. A new legal description by metes and bounds of the
892 district;
893 c. Written consent of all owners of the parcel to be added;
894 d. A map of the district including the parcel to be added;
895 e. A description of the development proposed on the
896 additional parcel; and
897 f. A copy of the original petition identifying the parcel
898 to be added.
899 2. Before filing with the county or municipality, the
900 person must provide the petition to the district and to the
901 owner of the proposed additional parcel, if the owner is not the
902 petitioner.
903 3. Once the petition is determined sufficient and complete,
904 the county or municipality must process the addition of the
905 parcel to the district as an amendment to the ordinance that
906 establishes the district. The county or municipality may process
907 all petitions to amend the ordinance for parcels identified in
908 the original petition, even if, by adding such parcels, the
909 district exceeds 2,500 acres.
910 4. The petitioner shall cause to be published in a
911 newspaper of general circulation in the proposed district a
912 notice of the intent to amend the ordinance that establishes the
913 district. The notice must be in addition to any notice required
914 for adoption of the ordinance amendment. Such notice must be
915 published as provided in chapter 50 at least 10 days before the
916 scheduled hearing on the ordinance amendment and may be
917 published in the section of the newspaper reserved for legal
918 notices. The notice must include a general description of the
919 land to be added to the district and the date and time of the
920 scheduled hearing to amend the ordinance. The petitioner shall
921 deliver, including by mail or hand delivery, the notice of the
922 hearing on the ordinance amendment to the owner of the parcel
923 and to the district at least 14 days before the scheduled
924 hearing.
925 5. The amendment of a district by the addition of a parcel
926 pursuant to this paragraph does not alter the transition from
927 landowner voting to qualified elector voting pursuant to s.
928 190.006, even if the total size of the district after the
929 addition of the parcel exceeds 5,000 acres. Upon adoption of the
930 ordinance expanding the district, the petitioner must cause to
931 be recorded a notice of boundary amendment which reflects the
932 new boundaries of the district.
933 6. This paragraph is intended to facilitate the orderly
934 addition of lands to a district under certain circumstances and
935 does not preclude the addition of lands to any district using
936 the procedures in the other provisions of this section.
937 Section 22. Subsection (1) of section 194.037, Florida
938 Statutes, is amended to read:
