“The Regional Impact Fee will provide funding for 200-year levee improvements in compliance with SB-5 and DWR's ULOP criteria in the cities of Lathrop, Manteca, Stockton and unincorporated portions of San Joaquin County within the Mossdale Tract Area as further described within this Nexus Study.”

“This Nexus Study provides the basis for a Levee Improvement Development Impact Fee (Regional Levee Fee) to ensure that new development pays its proportionate share of the levee improvement costs needed to provide ULOP to the Mossdale Tract Area.”

“The Fee will apply to all Planned Development in the Mossdale Tract Area that creates a flood protection impact. Planned Development is defined as all development that is required to obtain a building permit within the Mossdale Tract Area.”
