developments pursuant to the SJMSCP within the City of Lodi; and
WHEREAS, a "Fee Study" dated July 16, 2001, was prepared, which analyzed and

lands lost as a result of future development in the City of Lodi and in San Joaquin County;
and
WHEREAS, after considering the Fee Study and the testimony received at the public
hearing, the Lodi City Council approved said report; and further found that the future
development in the City of Lodi will need to compensate cumulative impacts to threatened,
endangered, rare, and unlisted SJMSCP Covered Species and other wildlife and
compensation for some non -wildlife related impacts to recreation, agriculture, scenic values
and other beneficial Open Space uses; and
WHEREAS, an "Updated Fee Study" dated November 2, 2006, was prepared, which

habitat; and
WHEREAS, the SJMSCP Development Fees for these three categories will be
increased consistent with the Updated Fee Study findings for the year 2016; and
WHEREAS, to ensure that the SJMSCP development fees keep pace with inflation,
annual adjustments, based on the method set forth in this resolution, shall be made to the
fees annually; and
WHEREAS, the Updated Fee Study with the SJMSCP and the fee amendment were
available for public inspection and review in the office of the City Clerk for more than ten
days prior to the date of this Public Hearing.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Lodi as
follows:
1. The City Council finds and declares that the purposes and uses of the Development

determinations.
2. The City Council finds and declares that since adoption of Ordinance No. 1707, the
cost of land has increased in San Joaquin County; and that in order to maintain the
reasonable relationship established by Ordinance No. 1707, it is necessary to
increase the Development Fee for the San Joaquin County Multi -Species Habitat
Conservation and Open Space Plan.

multi-purpose open space conversion shall be consistent with the table identified in
Exhibit "A" and attached hereto.
