San Joaquin County Zoning Code · 2026-06 edition · updated 2026-07-25 · San Joaquin County

9-803.010 - PURPOSE

This Chapter establishes ministerial procedures for conducting a zoning compliance review to verify that each new or expanded use or structure complies with all of the applicable requirements of this Title.

9-803.020 - APPLICABILITY

Zoning compliance review is required for buildings or structures erected, constructed, altered, repaired or moved, the use of vacant land, changes in the character of the use of land or building, or for substantial expansions in the use of land or building that are allowed as a matter of right by this Title. Before the County may issue any business license, building permit, subdivision approval, lot line adjustment, or any other license, approval, or permit, the Zoning Administrator must review the application to determine whether the use, building, or change in lot configuration complies with all provisions of this Title and any applicable Master Plan, Special Purpose Plan, Specific Plan, or Planned Development zone, Use Permit or Variance approval, and that all conditions of such permits and approvals have been satisfied.

9-803.030 - REVIEW AND DECISION

(a)

Application. An application for zoning compliance review must be filed and processed in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 9-802, Common Procedures.

(b)

Determination. The Zoning Administrator must review the application to determine whether the proposed use or construction is allowed by right, requires any type of discretionary planning permit, is allowed pursuant to any previously approved permit, or is prohibited. If the Zoning Administrator determines that the proposal conforms to the requirements of this Title and any applicable Master Plan, Special Purpose

Plan, Specific Plan, or Planned Development zone, a Zoning Certificate will be issued. If the Zoning Administrator determines that the proposal does not conform to the requirements of this Title or any applicable master plan, specific plan, or Planned Development zone, a Zoning Certificate will not be issued, and the applicant will be advised as to how the proposal can be brought into compliance.

9-803.040 - APPEAL

The Zoning Administrator's determination may not be appealed.
