Summary
Would have established fire hazard planning responsibilities for local governments and required cities and counties to make specified findings on fire standards prior to permitting residential development in a very high fire hazard severity zone. Also, would have established a grant program to provide funding to small jurisdictions that contain very high fire risk areas for wildfire risk reduction planning activities, to be administered by the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.
