BE IT ORDAINED BY THE LODI CITY COUNCIL AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Lodi Municipal Code Chapter 13.12 is hereby amended by
adding thereto a new Section 13.12.195 entitled "Downtown Business
District Connection Fees", to read as follows:
13.12.195 Downtown Business District connection fees.
A. The City Council hereby finds and declares that the downtown
area of Lodi as defined in this part, which is the traditional center
of the City's business community, is presently in danger of losing
economic viability. The purpose of this ordinance is to protect a
crucial part of Lodi's economy and preserve a portion of the City's
heritage by offering incentives for businesses to locate, relocate or
expand existing commercial uses within this area.
B. For purposes of this section, the "Downtown Business
District'' shall mean an area whose boundaries are the same as those for
the area subject to the City of Lodi Bond Issue, Series 1984-1, dated
May 24, 1984, more particularly described in the Bond documents and map
on file with the City Clerk's office.
C. Any permitted commercial use which locates, relocates, or
expands within the Downtown Business District as defined shall be
responsible for a maximum connection fee not to exceed that for two (2)
sewage service units (SSU's) where the assigned or equivalent SSU's, as
-1-
established in Section 13.12.190 of this Code are eight (8) or less
SSU's. If the assigned or equivalent SSU's are greater than eight IS),
the commercial use shall be responsible for two (2) SSU's plus the
assigned or equivalent SSU's over eight (8).
D. Notwithstanding any exemption granted under this section, the
monthly or annual sewage fees set by the City Council from time to time
for any commercial use locating, relocating or expanding within the
Downtown Business District, shall be calculated on the full number of
sewage service units which the use would have otherwise been
responsible for under Lodi Municipal Code Section 13.12.180 if such use
was located outside the Downtown Business District.
SECTION 2. All ordinances and parts of ordinances in conflict
herewith are repealed insofar as such conflict may exist.
SECTION 3. This ordinance shall be published one time in the "Lodi
News Sentinel", a daily newspaper of general circulation printed and
published in the City of Lodi and shall be in force and take effect
thirty days from and after its passage and approval.
