Because it keep being mentioned, Universal Orlando Resort North Campus is not in an independent special district. It’s run by the city, not an independent board. The city though does have a significant obligation to provide requested services and improvements within the scope of the district’s purpose.
Part of Universal sits in a special district, The Orlando Community Redevelopment Agency. CRAs are special districts under the Florida statutes. They are, however, created by and run by local governments.
Local governments can created special districts, as long as it's done under the provisions of Section 189.032(4) and complies with 190.005.
Edit: local governments can create INDEPENDENT special districts. Need to stop worrying about the weather, lol.
