In 1959 the Orange County Board of Supervisors voted to approve the request of the Beach Road property owners to convert the community into a Special Government District and approved the formation of the
Capistrano Bay Community Services District
. The Capistrano Bay District or simply “The District” is a true government agency formed under the laws of the California Government Code, specifically Section 61000. A five-member Board of Directors is elected at large and serves four year terms. The day to day operations are supervised by a full time General Manager.
