What Lekua resolves in San Joaquin County

Every layer below is pulled live from San Joaquin’s own GIS and authoritative state sources the moment you enter an address — no manual tracing, no generic insets, every source cited.

Property lines

County assessor parcel boundary with APN, address, and lot area, with the statewide CA parcel layer as fallback.

San Joaquin County GIS
Topographic contours1–2 ft on-demand

Fine 1–2 ft contours generated on-demand from the 1-meter USGS 3DEP elevation model — far finer than the 10-ft national data most tools show.

USGS 3DEP DEM
Building footprints

FEMA national structure footprints — the county publishes no cloud-reachable footprint layer, so the export says exactly what the source is.

FEMA USA Structures
Fire hazard & defensible space

CAL FIRE FHSZ severity checked for the parcel, with defensible-space perimeters drawn where the parcel sits in a designated zone.

CAL FIRE
Soil, climate & sun

USDA SSURGO soil profile, historical rainfall, and modeled seasonal sun-hour heat maps for the parcel.

USDA-NRCS · Open-Meteo
Native plants & rebates

California natives matched to the site’s soil and microclimate, plus lawn-replacement rebate estimates from the serving provider — Cal Water — Stockton District.

Fire risk, checked rather than assumed

Most San Joaquin parcels sit outside mapped fire-hazard severity zones — but the eastern edge toward the foothills carries designated zones. Lekua checks the parcel against the current CAL FIRE 2024–25 maps rather than assuming either way, and draws defensible-space perimeters only where they apply.

  • Parcel-level FHSZ check against the current CAL FIRE 2024–25 maps.
  • Zone 0 / 1 / 2 perimeters drawn only where the parcel is in a designated zone.
  • Every recommended plant still carries its flammability data.

A native palette, enriched beyond the plant list

Start from the Calscape native plant database — then get the research-backed traits Calscape alone doesn’t put at your fingertips, matched to the parcel’s exact soil, sun, rainfall, and microclimate. Hand a client a list that’s code-compliant, climate-appropriate, and built to perform.

Research-based fire safety

Flammability and defensible-space zone suitability from Las Pilitas burn-time research and UCANR / CAL FIRE-aligned fire-safe lists — not just a name on a list.

Growth rate & mature size

Slow / moderate / fast growth plus mature height and spread, so spacing and time-to-fill are realistic from day one.

Longevity & establishment notes

Calscape cultivation and longevity guidance, so the palette reads for how it performs over 10–20 years, not just at install.

Water use & wildlife value

WUCOLS-aligned water-use ratings (for the MWELO budget) and pollinator / bird support scores on every species.

Plant data: Calscape / CNPS, enriched with Las Pilitas burn-time research, UCANR & CAL FIRE-aligned fire-safe lists, and WUCOLS water-use ratings.

Water districts & rebates

Lawn-replacement rebate estimates are matched to the serving district: Cal Water — Stockton District.

San Joaquin County base map FAQ

Can I get a CAD base map for a San Joaquin County parcel?

Yes. Enter any San Joaquin address and export a layered DXF (AutoCAD-compatible) with parcel lines, building footprints, on-demand 1–2 ft contours, and spot elevations — plus a designed PDF site report for the client.

What contour interval is available in San Joaquin County?

Lekua generates fine 1–2 ft contours on-demand from the 1-meter USGS 3DEP elevation model — far finer than the 10-ft national fallback most tools show, which matters wherever grading and drainage drive the design.

Does it include zoning setbacks for San Joaquin County?

Not yet — setback tables for Stockton, Lodi, and the county are not yet encoded, and the export never guesses: where a setback isn’t verified it says so plainly instead of drawing lines. Encoded tables follow the same review-gated process as other counties.

How does it handle defensible space and fire-safe planting?

Lekua checks the parcel against current CAL FIRE FHSZ maps, draws Zone 0 / 1 / 2 defensible-space perimeters around the structures where designated, and tags every recommended native with the zones it’s suited to.

Is the data current and reliable enough for submittals?

Layers are pulled live from county GIS, USGS, and CAL FIRE at export time, and any encoded setback table cites its source with a date. Everything is labeled “for planning reference — not for construction.” Verify against the current code and a stamped survey before submittal.
