Alcoholic beverage control; limited distillery licenses; land zoned agricultural. Clarifies that for limited distilleries, "land zoned agricultural" means land zoned as (i) an agricultural district or classification or (ii) land otherwise permitted by a locality for limited distillery use. The bill provides that "land zoned agricultural" does not include land zoned "residential conservation." The bill exempts from its provisions any limited distillery that, prior to July 1, 2016, holds a valid license or pending application for a license that is subsequently granted by the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board and is located on land zoned as agricultural district or classification or land otherwise permitted by a locality for limited distillery use. The bill allows any such limited distillery that is located on land zoned residential conservation to expand existing buildings or structures and construct new buildings or structures if approved by the locality by special exception.

Alcoholic beverage control; limited distiller's licenses, land zoned agricultural.

Sen. George Barker [D]
