The City of Orange is an inland community in Orange County, located roughly 10 miles from the Pacific coastline. The California Coastal Zone boundary does not extend to the City of Orange. Therefore, California Coastal Commission development permits are not required for any construction or development projects within the city. All development is governed by local zoning under OMC Title 17 and standard state building codes. Projects near Santiago Creek or other waterways may require compliance with Clean Water Act Section 404 permits through the Army Corps of Engineers and Regional Water Quality Control Board approvals, but these are water-body protections rather than coastal regulations.
Not applicable. Coastal development permits are not required in the City of Orange as it is not within the Coastal Zone.
