CDD RULES

​

​

​

​

There are two categories of Coral Bay CDD rules:

  • Those covering CDD Board procedures including, but not limited to, organization, meetings, rulemaking, purchasing, and contracts.

  • Those covering all CDD-owned facilities and both CDD-owned and CDD-affected properties. Properties are CDD-affected if they involve an owner construction project that either abuts CDD property or involves a CDD easement on an owner's property. This second category includes, but not limited to, the gates, parking on CDD property, the lake, the parks and pools, the Clubhouse, and various owner construction projects such as shoreline restoration, docks and driveway modifications.

​

Rules Pertaining to CDD Board Procedures

​

The following two documents pertain to the CDD Board procedures category:

 

Rules Pertaining to All CDD-Owned Facilities and Both CDD-Owner and CDD-Affected Properties

​

The document that contains the various rules for all of these categories is the Amended and Restated Rules Governing the use of the Recreational and Other District Facilities of the Coral Bay Community Development District (pdf) Revised 12/14/2023, commonly referred to as the Rules document.

​

The sections in this Rules document cover:

  • The current parking rules and restrictions.

  • The use of clubhouse, pools, parks, basketball/multi-purpose court, tennis courts, playground, and all other recreational facilities owned, maintained, and operated by the District.

  • The use of or construction on lakes, canals, drainage areas, shoreline, and any land belonging to the district or for which the District has an easement.

  • The rental of the Clubhouse Meeting Room.

  • activating and de-activating gate access for a property

  • The reasons for suspension of privileges and the consequences

 

Some Items to Note About the Rules and Construction Projects

​

Construction and reconstruction projects require approved permits, from both the CDD and the City of Margate, prior to initiating the actual work. To assist with the process, the “Permit Criteria Manual for Projects Within the Coral Bay Community Development District” and the CDD permit application are both provided on the Forms page.

​

Please note that part of the CDD permit Application package needs to be approved by an Architectural Review (ARC) Form from the HOA. Docks and shoreline projects are the most common projects of this type. The Rules document contains sections for both Dock Construction and Lake and Canal Bank Restoration/Stabilization projects. Additionally, prototype Lake Shore Erosion Control Plans are provided in the Rules document’s Attachments section.  These attachments were developed by the District Engineer at the Board’s request to offer homeowners a convenient starting point.

​

The widening of a driveway apron, done in connection with the widening of a driveway for any unit with a sidewalk and swale, requires the same permitting process as just noted.

​

The City of Margate is also requesting a copy of a “no objection” letter from the CDD for any project on private property that affects the natural ground surface, such as building a patio, since, per the City, it may affect the area’s drainage. Therefore, a Permit Application with the project information and the HOA approval or HOA "approval unnecessary" will be required for these projects as well. 

​

Lastly, note that Coral Bay contains eight (8) independent Homeowners’ Associations (HOAs) that have their own rules and regulations.  These HOAs do not own, nor are they responsible for, any of the common property.  However, they do have governing documents that cover their areas of responsibility.  Contact your individual HOA for their individual rules and documents by going to the HOAs page.
