(a) For purposes of Sections 65865.5, 65962, and 66474.5, the Mossdale Tract shall achieve the urban level of flood protection by 2040.
(b) For purposes of this section, “Mossdale Tract” means an area of land identified as Reclamation District No. 17 on page 144 of Bulletin No. 37 (1930) of the Department of Water Resources, along with such contiguous urban and urbanizing areas to the east of the tract as would be subject to flooding from the San Joaquin River at an urban level of flood protection.
