This chapter is adopted to impose a levee improvement development impact fee (levee fee) to ensure that new development within the Sutter Butte Basin portion of the City of Gridley pays its proportionate share of the levee improvement costs needed to provide 200-year level of protection to the urban (Northern) portion of the Sutter Butte Basin and 100-year level of protection to the rural (Southern) portion of the Basin. This levee fee, in combination with other sources of funding described within the Regional LDIF Nexus Study dated December 14, 2022 (Nexus Study), will fund the project to provide flood protection to the Sutter Butte Basin as detailed in the Nexus Study.
