- (1) This act constitutes the sole authorization for the future establishment of independent community development districts which have any of the specialized functions and powers provided by this act.
- (2) This act does not affect any community development district or other special district existing on June 29, 1984; and existing community development districts will continue to be subject to the provisions of chapter 80-407, Laws of Florida.
- (3) The establishment of an independent community development district as provided in this act is not a development order within the meaning of chapter 380.

A district shall take no action which is inconsistent with applicable comprehensive plans, ordinances, or regulations of the applicable local general-purpose government.
- (4) The exclusive charter for a community development district shall be the uniform community development district charter as set forth in ss. 190.006 through 190.041, including the special powers provided by s. 190.012.
