Pomona is an inland city approximately 30 miles from the coast. Coastal development regulations and the California Coastal Commission do not apply.
Pomona enforces coastal development regulations to protect shoreline resources and public beach access. Projects within the coastal zone require permits from both local and state coastal authorities. Setbacks from the high-water mark vary by zone. Coastal bluff development faces additional geotechnical requirements. Wetland and habitat buffers protect sensitive coastal ecosystems. Sea level rise adaptation requirements may apply to new construction. Public access easements required for waterfront development. Seawalls and shoreline armoring face strict review.
Unpermitted coastal construction: demolition order possible. Fines $5,000 to $50,000. Habitat damage: restoration required plus fines. Public access obstruction: daily penalties.
