Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

Community development woes
I live in a private gated community of single family and villa homes. We pay CDD for amenities such as a gym, pool, etc-one of the highest in the area. It was made know in Feb that the community was planning an apartment complex of approximately 300 rental units within the community. This information was not made known to us at the time of our home purchase. Some of the original homeowners were told that there would be condos or townhomes built, not rental property. We feel this will impact our property values, increase traffic, overcrowd the amenities we pay for and increase crime and noise within the community. Many of the homeowners feel this was concealed from us. When we purchased our home we asked about the villages and building plans and it was never pointed out to us that the area was zoned multifamily and an apartment complex was planned. In all their advertising, there is no mention of apartments-only homes and villas. Prospective home buyers are not being told this either. The homeowners association has started a campaign to retain a lawyer-before I contribute to this cause, do we have any case at all?

Re: Community development woes

Read your documents as to whether it provides for apartment living in your community.
