area whose boundaries are the same as those for the area subject to the
City of Lodi bond issue, Series 1995-1, dated July 22, 1996, more
particularly described in the bond documents and map on file with the
City Clerks Office.
Wastewater capacity fees for any permitted use which locates, relocates
or expands within the central business district as defined shall be
discounted as determined by the City Council by Resolution.
Notwithstanding any discount granted under this section, the monthly or
annual sewage fees set by City Council from time to time for any use
locating, relocating or expanding within the central business district, shall
