Lodi, CA Parking Rules: Driveway Rules (2026)

060(E) limits how a required setback may be used once it exists. 070's parking design standards, meaning a car parked on bare dirt, gravel, or lawn inside a front, side, or rear setback does not comply even where parking there would otherwise be allowed. The same subsection separately bars storing inoperable vehicles, scrap, junk, or building materials in any required setback that is visible from the public right-of-way. Swimming pool equipment such as pumps and filters must sit at least five feet from side and rear property lines.

These setback-use limits apply on top of the underlying setback dimensions themselves: a fifteen-foot front setback, five-foot side setbacks, ten-foot street-side and rear setbacks, and a twenty-foot garage setback from any street-facing property line under Table 2-5. Decks, pavement, and other site elements eighteen inches or less above grade, along with pools, ponds, and spas, are exempt from setback requirements altogether, and fences, walls, and hedges forty-two inches or less in height may also stand within a setback.
