Summary

Alcoholic beverage control; farm winery and limited brewery licenses; land zoned agricultural. Clarifies that, for farm wineries and limited breweries, "land zoned agricultural" means land zoned as (i) an agricultural district or classification or (ii) land otherwise permitted by a locality for farm winery or limited brewery use. The bill provides that "land zoned agricultural" does not include land zoned "residential conservation." The bill exempts from its provisions any farm winery or limited brewery 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 farm winery or limited brewery use. The bill allows any such farm winery or limited brewery 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.
