Someone else might know the exact number and reasoning for the law.

As for golf carts.... it would be a pretty bad electric golf cart that couldn't make it from LSL to SS and back again. Most of the newer electric carts have ranges in the 40+ mile range. I have a Par Car electric and I have never even come close to running it out of charge. I have driven from St. Charles (close to 466a) to Lopez (10.2 miles), played 18 holes, driven to SS, had dinner and driven home with the lights & radio on....no problems.

Cheers....
I think the reasoning behind the law is because, in order for a community to be considered a "senior" community, at least 80% of the owners must be over 55, not that there has to be at least 20% under that age. And thank you for the info about the carts.
