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 All ordinances and parts of ordinances in conflict herewith are repealed insofar as such conflict may exist.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.
