Board of County Commissioners · 2026-07-21 · ordinance

Ordinance granting the petition of D.R. Horton, Inc. for establishment of the Sandero Landing Community Development District, generally bounded on the north by Canal 103 South, on the east by SW 167 Avenue (Tennessee Road/SE 12 Avenue), on the south by SW 328 Street (Lucy Street/SE 8 Street), and on the west by SW 172 Avenue (McMinn Road/SE 6 Avenue). The development is a proposed 82.95-acre residential development lying wholly within the municipal limits of the City of Homestead. The development plan includes construction of 258 (2-story) townhome units, 436 (3-story) townhome units, and 66 live/work units with associated roadway improvements, stormwater management system, wastewater collection system, and water distribution system, estimated to cost approximately $35.384 million. The District is located within Commission District 8. The ordinance was adopted on first reading on 5/19/2026 and adopted on final action on 7/21/2026. The initial members of the Board of Supervisors are Cynthia M. Caldevilla, Deborah A. Leonard, Heath Rivers, Keith Leonard, and Rebecca Z. Cortes. The petition was filed on February 13, 2026. The Petitioner paid a filing fee of $15,000.00 and an additional $9,000.00 for advertising costs. The creation of the District will have no fiscal impact on the County. CDD funding is derived from assessments levied against the properties within the CDD. The development has private roads that are to be maintained by a Homeowners' Association (HOA) or the District. A Special Taxing District will be created to maintain the development's infrastructure, such as private roadways, private area storm drainage, and landscaping, should the District be dissolved or fail to fulfill its maintenance obligations. This Special Taxing District will remain dormant until such time as the County determines to implement the Special Taxing District. A Declaration of Restrictive Covenants has been submitted consistent with the requirements of Resolution 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. The Declaration of Restrictive Covenants provides for: (1) notice in the public records of the projected taxes and assessments to be levied by the District; (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.
