22 Section 1. Legislative findings.—The Legislature finds
23 that:
24 (1) The University Town Center area is a largely
25 commercially zoned area located at the intersection of I-75 and
26 University Parkway that extends into both Sarasota and Manatee
27 Counties near the Lakewood Ranch planned community.
28 (2) The University Town Center area of Sarasota and
29 Manatee Counties have experienced unprecedented growth as
30 commercial development, tourism events, sport competitions,
31 entertainment, and recreational activities have drawn residents
32 and visitors to the region.
33 (3) The University Town Center area contains more than 3
34 million square feet of commercial development with plans to
35 double in size over the next 20 years. Estimates of the
36 University Town Center development's total economic activity
37 exceed $3.5 billion, supporting more than 15,000 permanent jobs.
38 More than 1 million square feet of commercial development
39 immediately adjacent to the University Town Center contributes
40 significant additional economic impact to the area.
41 (4) The University Town Center area is located on the
42 county line of Sarasota and Manatee Counties and has become a
43 significant economic catalyst of the Florida economy, supporting
44 the continued development of tourist development attractions at
45 Nathan Benderson Park and Mote Science Education Aquarium
46 ("MoteSEA"), the planned expansion of the sports complex at
47 Nathan Benderson Park, and the attraction of international
48 events such as the 2017 World Rowing Championships and planned
49 2028 "Mega-Worlds" World Rowing Championship.
50 (5) Visit Florida and Visit Sarasota have independently
51 verified that Nathan Benderson Park, located within the
52 University Town Center area, has generated over $200 million of
53 regional economic impact since Sarasota County's initial
54 allocation of Tourist Development revenue to the project.
55 (6) The University Town Center and Nathan Benderson Park
56 have led to the development of significant additional projects
57 such as MoteSEA. MoteSEA will independently generate $28 million
58 annually to the local economy, attract approximately 700,000
59 visitors, support $120 million in wages, and produce $2.4
60 million in direct tax revenue.
61 (7) The property owners within the University Town Center
62 area have developed and redeveloped the commercial, retail,
63 dining, and entertainment areas with a comprehensive water
64 control plan that provides drainage and water control
65 infrastructure and protection to the commercial properties in
66 the area, and also the surrounding adjacent commercial and
67 residential properties. The flood control measures and
68 mitigation have also facilitated the creation of recreational
69 facilities that attract local, national, and international
70 sports and tourism activities to the region.
71 (8) The property owners within the University Town Center
72 have also constructed and maintained roadways, sidewalks,
73 pedestrian walkways, and supporting infrastructure, including
74 landscaping, signage, and street lighting, to provide
75 connectivity to ongoing attractions and entertainment within the
76 area.
77 (9) The property owners within the University Town Center
78 have organized, funded, promoted, and facilitated numerous
79 regional and seasonal entertainment attractions, including
80 large-scale holiday lighting and community events.
81 (10) Recreational, sports tourism, and other seasonal
82 entertainment events are promoted and encouraged to support the
83 commercial activities throughout the University Town Center area
84 and Sarasota and Manatee Counties.
85 (11) The property owners seek to ensure that there is an
86 ongoing source of funding to continue the multi-county
87 comprehensive stormwater and flood control management program.
88 (12) The property owners within the University Town Center
89 area seek to create an improvement district to ensure the
90 ongoing funding for the continuation of the above described
91 services with the powers and authority to sufficiently address
92 drainage and flood control needs in the most efficient, least
93 intrusive, and most cost-effective manner.
94 (13) The creation of an improvement district that
95 continues the current level of service to the University Town
96 Center area serves a public purpose of providing for the health,
97 safety, and welfare of property owners within the area, and
98 other properties proximate to the region.
99 Section 2. Legislative intent.–Based upon the foregoing
100 findings, it is the intent of the Legislature to create and
