Under existing law, there is a process for establishing community development districts that meet certain requirements. Once established, the sale of alcoholic beverages is authorized within the district by certain entities otherwise licensed by the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board.
This bill would provide for an additional type of community development district which would be required to border on a lake which is formed by an impounded reservoir of a river whose source is in a federal wilderness area and to have a marina and restaurant. The restaurant would be subject to additional regulation by the local governing body where located. Upon incorporation and approval of the board, the sale of alcoholic beverages would be authorized in the district.
