Background:
Pursuant to Chapter 190, Community Development Districts, Florida Statutes, KL Westport Expansion LLC has submitted a petition to the County to establish the West Port East Community Development District (CDD).
The subject site for the proposed CDD contains approximately 175.877± acres, and it is generally located south of Franklin Avenue, north of El Jobean Road (SR 776), east of the Crestview Waterway, and west of Toledo Blade Boulevard, in the Port Charlotte area, within the Murdock Village Community Redevelopment Area (CRA). There is an approved PD rezoning for the property which allows for a mixture of residential and commercial development.
Staff has reviewed the requested petition in light of the six factors established in Section 190.005, Establishment of District, Florida Statutes. It is staff’s professional opinion that establishing the Starling Community Development District (CDD) is consistent with Section 190.005(2) F.S., and it is not contrary to Charlotte County’s Comprehensive Plan, Charlotte County's Code of Laws and Ordinances or other applicable guidelines.
What Action will be accomplished?
If the Board of County Commissioners approves this request, it will allow the West Port East CDD to be established, which will potentially fund construction of the stormwater management system, roadways, water & wastewater system, landscaping, hardscape and lighting, amenity, and off-site improvements.
