I think what they said at the time was that they were looking for a more mixed-use kind of development, and TV wanted to circumvent some of their ordinances, such as not being golf-cart friendly to the community and not wanting to follow the tree-removal policy. If you do a search on the forum for "Wildwood Mayor," you'll come up with a couple of threads on it.
BTW, in those threads some are suggesting that it had something to do with the mayor not being elected again. Actually, the mayor never intended to run again, so that was not the issue.
Perhaps they felt they would get more taxes from mixed use.
