The Legislature hereby finds and declares that there exists throughout the State large unincorporated areas which are particularly suited to and used for recreation resort purposes, and which are held and used by residents of this State but which are inhabited only seasonally. The Legislature further finds and declares that these resort areas are not suited to full urban development without destroying the very nature of the areas; but the seasonal residents of these areas are, nevertheless, in need of extended governmental services; and that the extension of governmental services and the construction and financing of public improvements in these resort areas is complicated by the facts that: (a)many of the services are needed only seasonally, and (b)most of the landowners whose property is benefited by the public improvements, because they are technically nonresidents, are without voice in the direction or method of financing of the necessary services and improvements. It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this division to provide an alternative method for the furnishing of extended governmental services, including the construction and financing of public improvements, within recreation resort areas adequate to meet the needs of such areas; and to provide for the levy of taxes within such areas in an amount sufficient to pay for extended services provided, additional extended services to be provided, and for public improvements installed or constructed.
