Lodi sets residential setbacks in LMC 17.14.060 (Setbacks - Measurements and Exceptions) and the zoning-district standards in LMC Chapter 17.16 (Residential Districts). Setbacks vary by zoning district and lot type.
Under the Lodi Development Code Title 17, each residential zoning district (R-1, R-LD, R-MD, etc.) sets minimum setbacks from front, side, and rear property lines for the primary dwelling and accessory structures. LMC 17.14.060 governs how setbacks are measured, including projections (eaves, chimneys, bay windows) and exceptions for substandard lots. ADUs receive special treatment under LMC 17.36.130 with reduced 4-foot side and rear setbacks (front yard setbacks follow the zone of the primary dwelling). Accessory structures other than ADUs are governed by LMC 17.36.120. Fence and wall setbacks are governed separately under LMC 17.14.100.
Construction in violation of setback rules is a zoning violation enforced by Community Improvement under Title 17 with administrative citations and orders to relocate or remove the structure.
