Lodi is located in San Joaquin County in California's Central Valley, roughly 80 miles inland from the Pacific Ocean, and is not within the California Coastal Zone, so the California Coastal Act and Coastal Commission jurisdiction do not apply.
The California Coastal Act (Public Resources Code Division 20, §30000 et seq.) defines the Coastal Zone as the land and water area from the Oregon border to Mexico, extending generally 1,000 yards inland from the mean high tide line (up to 5 miles in significant estuarine/habitat areas, less in developed urban areas). Lodi lies in the San Joaquin Valley, well outside this boundary, so Coastal Development Permits (CDPs) are not required and no Local Coastal Program (LCP) exists. Development near Lodi's waterways (Mokelumne River, Smith Canal, Woodbridge Irrigation District canals) is instead regulated under floodplain (LMC Ch. 15.60), stormwater (Phase II MS4), and state Central Valley Flood Protection Board encroachment permits where applicable.
Not applicable — California Coastal Act jurisdiction does not extend to Lodi. Waterfront/levee work near the Mokelumne River may instead require a Central Valley Flood Protection Board encroachment permit and/or USACE Section 404/408 review.
