5. There are no existing major trunk water mains, sewer interceptors and outfalls.
6. The proposed timetable for the construction of District improvements is shown on
Exhibit 4, as well as the estimated cost of constructing the improvements. This is a good faith
estimate but is not binding on the Petitioner or the District and Is subject to change.
7. The future general distribution, location and extent of public and private uses
within the Disbict are consistent with the zoning category of suburban mixed use. The proposed
WP8-FS1\SANF0ROS\50593Ov1415716t.ot02OO
uses are also consistent with the future land use plan element of the Comprehensive Plan of the
City of Boynton Beach, Florida (the .City"). The future land use map is shown on Exhibit 5. It is
further anticipated that the subject lands will be permitted to be developed for approximately 310
townhomes ranging in approximate square footage of 1,800 to 2,100 with prices ranging from

acquisition by the District, such facilities will be dedicated to the City to be connected to the
City's existing water and wastewater lines.
8. Exhibit 6 is a statement of estimated regulatory costs prepared in accordance
with the requirements of Section 120.541, Florida Statutes.
9. Petitioner hereby requests that the proposed District be granted the right to

Comprehensive Land Use Plan, as amended.
(b) The area of land within the proposed District is of sufficient size and is sufficiently
compact and contiguous to be developed as one functional interrelated community.
(c) The community development services of the District will be compatible with the
capacity and use of existing local and regional community development services and facilities.
(d) The proposed District will be the best alternative available for delivering
community. development services to the area to be served because (i) the District prOvides a
WPB-FS1\SANF0RDS\50593Ov14157161.010200
2
governmental entity for delivering those services and facilities in a manner that does not
financially impact persons residing outside the District, (ii) the Act authorizes a community
development district to acquire infrastructure improvements previously constructed by the
Petitioner or allows for a community development district to, in the first instance, construct such
infrastructure improvements, (iii) the timing for the creation of the proposed District and the
issuance of special assessment bonds is compatible with the timing for the construction and
acquisition of such infrastructure improvements which will result in direct benefit to the
landowners and their assigns within the District, (iv) establishment of a community development
district in conjunction with a comprehensive planned community, as proposed, allows for a more
efficient use of resources as well as providing the opportunity for new growth to pay for itself,
and (v) establishment of the District will provide a perpetual entity capable of making reasonable
provisions for the operation and maintenance of many of the District services and facilities.
12. The Petitioner undertakes on behalf of the District that the District will provide full
disclosure of information relating to the public financing and maintenance of improvements to
real property to be undertaken by the District as required by Section 190.009 and Section
190.048, Florida Statutes of the Act, as amended.

STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS
1.0 Introduction
1.1 Purpose and Scope
This Statement of Estimated Regulatory Costs e'SERC") supports the petition to
establish the Renaissance Commons Community Development District ("District"). The
District comprises approximately 86.98+/- acres of land located in the City of Boynton
Beach, Florida. The limitations on the scope of this SERC are explicitly set out in
Section 190.002(2) (d), F.S. (governing community development district establislunent)
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."
1.2 Overview of Renaissance Commons Community Development District
The District is designed to provide district infrastructure, services, and facilities along
with their operations and maintenance to a master planned residential development
containing 1692 residential units within the boundaries of the District consisting of
townhomes and condominium units. There will also be approximately 337,653 square
feet of commercial space.
1.3 Requirements for Statement of Estimated Regulatory Costs
Section 120.541(2), F.S. (1997), defines the elements a statement of estimated regulatory
costs must contain:
(a) A good faith estimate ofthe 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.
(b) 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.
(c) 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 ordinance. 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.
(d) 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. The City of Boynton Beach is not defined as a small City for purposes of
this requirement.
(e) Any additional information that the agency determines may be useful.
(f) In the statement or revised statement, whichever applies, a description of any good
faith written proposal submitted under paragraph (1) (a) and either a statement adopting
the alternative or a statement of the reasons for rej ecting the alternative in favor of the
proposed ordinance.
"Note: the references to "rule" in the statutory requirements for the Statement of
Estimated Regulatory Costs also apply to an "ordinance" under section 190.005(2) (a),
Florida Statutes."
2.0 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.
The Renaissance Commons Community Development District will serve land that
comprises approximately 86.98+/- acres of residential development to be made up of an
estimated 1692 residential units as described above. The estimated population of the
District is 3350 +/-. The property owners in the District will be individuals and may own
and operate industrial, manufacturing and other retail and non-retail related businesses
outside the boundaries of the District.
3.0 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 or local revenues.
There is no state agency promulgating any rule relating to this project that is anticipated
to effect state or local revenues.
3.1 Costs to Governmental Agencies of Implementing and Enforcing Ordinance
Because the results of enacting the ordinance is establishment of a local special purpose
government, there will be no enforcing responsibilities of any other government entity,
but there will be various implementing responsibilities which are identified with their
costs herein.
State Governmental Entities
There will be only modest costs to various State governmental entities to implement and
enforce the proposed establishment of the District. The District as established on the
2
proposed land, will encompass under 1,000 acres, therefore, the City of Boynton Beach is
the establishing entity under 190.005(2), F.S. The modest costs to various State entities
to implement and enforce the proposed ordinance relate strictly to the receipt and
processing of various reports that the District is required to file with the State and its
various entities. Appendix A lists the reporting requirements. The costs to those State
agencies that will receive and process the District's reports are very small, because the
District is only one of many governmental units that are required to submit the various
reports. Therefore, the marginal cost of processing one additional set of reports is
inconsequential. Additionally, pursuant to section 189.412, F.S., the District must pay an
annual fee to the State of Florida Department of Community Affairs which offsets such
costs.
City ofBovnton Beach
There will be only modest costs to the City for a number of reasons. First, review of the
petition to establish the District does not include analysis of the project itself. Second,
the petition itself provides much of the information needed for a staff review. Third, the
City already possesses the staff needed to conduct the review without the need for new
staff. Fourth, there is no capital required to review the petition. Finally, the City
routinely processes similar petitions though for entirely different subjects, for land uses
and zoning changes that are far more complex than is the petition to establish a
community development district.
The annual costs to City of Boynton Beach, because of the establishment of the District,
are also very small. The District is an independent unit of local government. The only
annual costs the City faces are the minimal costs of receiving and reviewing the various
reports that the District is required to provide to the City. However, the Petitioner has
included a payment of$15,000 to offset any expense the City may incur in the processing
ofthe Petition, or in the monitoring of this District
3.2 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 infrastructure facilities and services to serve the development project and 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. In accordance with State law, debts of the District
are strictly its own responsibility.
4.0 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.

Table 1 provides an outline of the various facilities and services the proposed District
may provide. The water and sewer utilities, stonnwater drainage, on site tree relocation
mitigation and certain off site improvements will all be funded by the District.

The petitioner has estimated the costs for providing the capital facilities outlined in Table
1. The cost estimates are shown in Table 2 below. Total costs for those facilities, which
may be provided, are estimated to be approximately $10.012.339. The District may issue
special assessment bonds to fund all or a portion of the costs of these facilities. These
bonds would be repaid through non ad valorem special assessments levied on all
properties in the District that may benefit from the District's infrastructure program as
outlined in Table 2.
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 special assessments by various names 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.
Furthermore, locating in the District by new property owners is completely voluntary.
So, ultimately, all owners and users of the affected property choose to accept the non ad
valorem special assessments as a tradeoff for the benefits and facilities that the District
provides.
A community development district ("CDDn) provides property owners with the option of
having higher levels of facilities and services financed through self-imposed revenue.
The District is an alternative means to manage necessary development services with
related financing powers. District management is no more expensive, and often less
expensive, than the alternatives of a municipal service taxing unit (MSTU), a property
association, provision by the City, or through developer equity and/or bank loans.
In considering these costs it shall be noted that owners.ofthe lands to be included within
the District will receive three major classes of benefits.
4
First, landowners in the District will receive a higher long-term sustained level of public
services and amenities sooner than would otherwise be the case.
Second, a CDD is a mechanism for assuring that the community services and amenities
will be completed concurrently with development of lands within the District. This
satisfies the current growth management legislation, and it assures that growth pays for
itself without undue burden on other consumers. Establishment of the District will ensure
that these landowners pay for the provision of facilities, services and improvements to
these lands.
Third, a CDD is the sole form of governance which allows District landowners, through
landowner voting, to determine the type, quality and expense of District services they
receive, provided they meet the City's overall requirements.
The cost impact on the ultimate landowners in the District is not the total cost for the
District to provide infrastructure services and facilities. Instead, it is the incremental
costs above what the landowners would have paid to install infrastructure via an
alternative management mechanism. Given the low cost of capital for a CDD, the cost
impact to landowners is negligible. This incremental cost of the high quality
infrastructure provided by the District is likely to be fairly low.

5.0 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 dermed by
Section 120.52, F.S.
There could be both positive and negative impacts on small businesses because of the
establishment of the District. Positive impacts could occur as a result of the additional
population in the District requiring more goods and services from small businesses.
Negative impacts could occur because of the increased competition generated by the new
business in the commercial area within the District. The City of Boynton Beach has an
estimated population in 2004 that is greater than 10,000; therefore the City is not defined
5
as a "small" City according to Section 120.52, F.S, and there will accordingly be no
impact on a small City because of the formation of the District. Palm Beach County has
an estimated population in 2004 that is greater than 75,000; therefore the County is not
defined as a "small" County according to Section 120.52, F.S, and there will accordingly
be no impact on a small County because of the formation of the District.
6.0 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 the petitioner's Engineer and other professionals associated
with the petitioner.
