				<html:p>The Legislature finds and declares that a special statute is necessary and that a general statute cannot be made applicable within the meaning of Section 16 of Article IV of the California Constitution because even though population growth has remained steady, tourism in the County of San Luis Obispo has grown exponentially, and tourist demand is driving an increased demand for alcohol licenses.</html:p>
