§ 33-317. Purposes and intent.

The purposes of this division are to designate and create the district as a preservation district pursuant to section 505 of the Charter and to implement section 505(a)(1) and (b) of the Charter as it pertains to the district. This division deals with the procedure for annexation of unincorporated territories in the district, which territories have been found to be part of an existing historical and cohesive residential community. The intent of this division is to provide the exclusive method for voluntary annexation in the district in the very limited circumstances set forth in this section.

It is neither the purpose nor the intent of this division to regulate density of development, intensity of development, or the issuance of development permits on lands located within the district. It is also not the purpose or intent to create a special district, either dependent or independent, as those terms are defined in F.S. ch. 189.
