BRUSH CLEARANCE INSPECTION PROGRAM
This letter is meant to help clarify new requirements and changes to our Annual Brush Clearance Inspection Program, as we are aware that many of your residents have recently received Brush Clearance Notices from our Department for the first time.
As you know, much of the City of Bradbury falls under the designation of either High or Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone (HFHSZ / VHFHSZ), as classified by CAL Fire (FHSZ Viewer). Our department has historically conducted brush clearance inspections on Single- Family Dwellings (homes) in your city. In the past, these homes were identified through fire history and visual identification, and we focused our inspections on areas which were deemed to be the most vulnerable to brush fires.
For decades, up until 2022, the number of homes that have been subject to inspections in the City of Bradbury has averaged approximately 139 annually. This year, that number will increase to approximately 737.
This increase in the total number of homes to be inspected is attributable to Public Resources Code 4291 (PRC-4291) along with our department's recent acquisition of GIS/mapping software that allows us to identify all homes within fire hazard severity zones. The new technology allows greater accuracy and some structures have been identified for the first time PRC-4291 stipulates that all homes within the fire hazard severity zones receive an annual brush clearance inspection and has been in place for decades. The new mapping software is the reason the number of parcels has increased, and our inspection list will now encompass all eligible homes from this year forward. All Single-Family Dwellings have been added this year; Multi-Family Dwellings will be added next year.

into our Brush Clearance Inspection Program ensures that all homes that require inspections are receiving them.
In addition, recent legislation introduces a new requirement to the brush clearance inspections. Assembly Bill 3074 (AB-3074) establishes Zone 0, which is a 5-foot Ember Resistant Zone that requires the removal of all flammable materials within 5 feet of any structure.
Although the Zone O requirement will not be enforced until sometime in 2024, we will be using this year's inspections to educate property owners about what they will need to do to become compliant with Zone 0 requirements next year.
The County Health & Safety Code has authorized our department to impose a brush inspection fee since 1989; currently, this fee is $151.00. Our department has never imposed this fee until this past year, when the rise in inspections began throughout the County.
Working with the Board of Supervisors, we agreed to phase in the fee over a three-year period. Last year, the fee was $50.00 (to be billed on 2023 property tax bill), this year the fee will be $100.00 (to be billed on the 2024 property tax bill), and next year, the fee will be assessed in its entirety of $151.00 (to be billed on the 2025 property tax bill).
It is important-to note that this fee is not intended to generate revenue for the Department.
With the significant increase in inspections to be completed, the inspection fee will offset the Department's costs in an effort to keep the Brush Clearance Inspection Program cost-neutral. 2023 inspections are scheduled to begin on May 1 in the City of Bradbury.
For your reference, the general requirements for brush clearance and maintaining defensible space are:
• Zone 0 (5-foot Ember Resistant Zone) - removal of any flammable materials within 5 feet of any structure. Enforcement of this requirement will begin in 2024. • Removal of flammable vegetation within 30 feet of any structure (up to 50 feet in VHFHSZ).
• Plants and trees are permitted, provided they are individually planted, spaced, and maintained in such a manner that they do not form a means of transmitting fire from native growth to the structure.
• Remaining vegetation for the next 70 feet, for a total of 100 feet, shall be limbed and include removal of any dead wood (maximum of 200 feet clearance can be required in VHFHSZ).
• Access roads must maintain 10 feet of brush clearance on each side and shall maintain adequate vertical clearance.
Kevin Kearney, City Manager
February 15, 2023
• Fire hydrants shall maintain clearance of 3 feet.
In addition to what is outlined above, there is one more piece of legislation that affects property owners. Assembly Bill 38 (AB-38), commonly referred to as Real Estate Defensible Space Inspections, took effect on July 1, 2021. AB-38 requires that the seller of a property in fire hazard severity zones must submit documentation of a compliant defensible space inspection prior to the close of escrow. Homes that received their annual brush clearance inspection within 6 months of close of escrow can use that inspection, if compliant, to satisfy this requirement.
More information on AB-38, AB-3074, and brush clearance/defensible space requirements can be found here.
The Annual Brush Clearance Inspection Program is critical for those living in fire hazard severity zones. Creating defensible space through brush clearance, coupled with home hardening, greatly improves the chance that a house will survive a wildfire. It also provides firefighters a safer area to work in while defending homes and property.
If you have any questions or require additional information, please contact Deputy Chief Nick Duvally, Prevention Services Bureau at (323) 881-2461, or by email at [email protected].

Brush Clearance Annual Notice
Frequently Asked Questions
Why am I receiving this notice?
Your property is located within a fire hazard severity zone identified by The Department of Forestry and Fire Protection CAL FIRE FHSZ Viewer (ca.gov) or has been historically identified with a potential fire hazard by the Los Angeles County Fire Department.
What are the Very High, High and Moderate Fire Hazard Severity Zones, and who determines these zones?
Fire hazard severity zones indicate the potential fire hazard on an area of land, based on several factors, including vegetation, topography, worst case weather conditions, fire history, predicted flame lengths, burn probability and ember cast. CAL FIRE is mandated to classify all lands within the state by California Public Resources Code 4201-4204.
Where does the Fire Department get the authority to conduct defensible space inspections?
• The California Public Resources Code 4291 (PRC 4291) defines requirements for inspections for, "A person who owns, leases, controls, operates, or maintains a building or structure in, upon, or adjoining a mountainous area, forest-covered lands, shrub-covered lands, grass-covered lands, or land that is covered with flammable material, shall at all times do all of the following:" There is no brush around my property, why am I being inspected? If your property is located within a designated fire hazard severity zone, an inspection is required.
Due to ember cast, this includes structures inside developments without open land (native vegetation) immediately adjacent to the structure.
Why is this the first time I am receiving this notice?
Available GIS technology and mapping programs allow the fire department to identify all parcels within fire hazard severity zones. Prior to integrating GIS technology within the inspection program, structures were identified through fire history and visual identification. The new technology allows greater accuracy and some structures have been identified for the first time.
Versi 2 / 8 / 23 Page 1|4
When will my property be inspected?
Depending on the property's location, inspections will start in April for desert areas, May 1 for inland areas, and June 1 for coastal areas.
Do I need to be home when the inspection is conducted?
You do not have to be home, but inspectors typically knock on the front door and announce themselves prior to inspecting when there is no answer.
Will the fire department make an appointment with me to inspect my property.
If you would like an appointment, please call your local fire station to set up a convenient time. If you missed the inspection, received a violation and would like additional information, there will be a phone number to call the local station at the top of the inspection form in the 'Contact Number' box.
If I have locked gates, how will the fire department complete the inspection? The inspector will only use unlocked gates and areas with reasonable access. If there are locked gates and the inspector must see behind them to complete the inspection, the inspector may come back later when someone is home or try to call or email the occupant to gain entry. If no contact was possible, the fire department may write an inspection warrant to gain entry and confirm defensible space compliance.
Can I call someone if I need clarity on requirements?
Yes, prior to your inspection, please call the Brush Clearance Unit at (626) 969-2375. After your inspection, please call the phone number listed on your inspection report.
Will I receive a report showing if my property is in compliance? Yes, all property owners will receive an inspection report showing either 'In Compliance' or the violations that need to be corrected.
How much time will I have to make corrections?
Owners have a minimum of 30 days to complete corrections. 2:2:23 Page 214
Do I need to remove trees?
Most likely, the answer is no, but all trees should be free of dead wood and limbed up to 6' or 1/3 the tree's height.
Why is there an inspection fee?
Los Angeles County Agricultural Commission/Weights & Measures has been charging an inspection fee since 1989. The Auditor/Controller (A/C) reviewed, and the Board of Supervisors approved the fire department's inspection fee on December 7, 2021. The fee is required to make the brush inspection program cost neutral. The A/C approved the inspection fee. The inspection fee was $50 in 2022, $100 in 2023 and will be $151 in 2024.
How will I be billed for the inspection fee?
The inspection fee will be assessed annually and show up on the November property tax bill.
There is a one-year delay from the inspection to seeing the assessment on your property tax bill. (Example: if an inspection is conducted in June 2023, the property tax assessment will arrive November 2024).
What is the purpose of the 'protest' hearing taking place on February 15" in Arcadia and February 16' in Lancaster?
The primary purpose of the protest hearing is to allow an owner to dispute whether the property is in a fire hazard severity zone and should therefore receive an inspection. Owners may also discuss defensible space requirements if desired.
Have there been State law changes impacting requirements to ensure defensible space?
Yes. The State is very concerned with saving lives and property and has reviewed and verified fire science that indicates structure loss can be reduced when homeowners harden their home and reduce vegetation closest to the home. The legislature approved two critical laws to address structure loss: AB 3074 and AB 38.
What is Assembly Bill 3074 (AB 3074)?
Zone 0 - the ember resistant zone. This law requires a 5' ember resistant zone around all structures in a fire hazard severity zone. bit.ly/AB3074 Version 2 / 8/23 Page 3|4
When does AB 3074 take effect?
AB 3074 became law on January 1, 2021, but will not be enforced until the State approves vegetation clearance requirements; this is expected in the fall of 2023. Full enforcement on existing structures will not be required until one year after the State approves final requirements.
This is expected for inspections that will occur in 2024. Full enforcement on new construction will take effect immediately upon approval of final clearance requirements.
Do I need to remove all plants within the first 5' of my structure(s)? After the State approves final Zone 0 requirements, it is expected that very few plants will be allowed within the first 5' of a structure, but some plants, like large trees, can be maintained so removal is not necessary. bit.ly/DefensibleSpaceZ.ones
How can I maintain and retain a tree within Zone 0?
Trees with large trunks must have all lower limbs removed within the first 5' of the structure.
Think of a 5' clear cylinder parallel to the wall. All tree canopies must be removed for the first 10' above the roof. This is to minimize leaf litter collecting on the roof.
What is Assembly Bill 38 (AB 38)?
AB 38 requires all real estate sellers with structures in a FHSZ to ensure compliance with defensible space requirements.
bit.ly/AB-38Inspections
When does AB 38 take effect?
The requirement for real estate defensible space compliance inspections took effect on July 1, 2021.

BRUSH CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS
Thousands of homes are in danger of destruction by fire because of their proximity to brush-covered areas. Homes with wood decks, patio covers, or exposed eaves are particularly vulnerable to the spread of fire. Despite efforts by firefighters, wildland fires fanned by strong winds can destroy homes. It is your legal responsibility to take the necessary action by clearing vegetation around all structures at risk. A fire sate landscape creates a defensible space to help protect against approaching wildfires.
WHAT ARE YOUR RESPONSIBILITES
1. Establish a 5-foot Ember Resistant Zone around all structures. Eliminate all vegetation and materials that could be ignited by embers from a wildfire.
2. 3. hin remaining vegetation for the next 70 feet, for a total of 100 feet, around any structure by clearing, trimming, thinnin mbing up removing flammable vegetation and dead wood. For high hazard areas this distance can be increase to maximum of 200 feet.
4. Specimen native trees and shrubs are permissible, provided they do not form a means of transmitting fire to any structure t is recommended that specimen shall be spaced a minimum of 15 feet or 3 times diameter from other specimens structures or surrounding native brush.
5. Access road shall be maintained with a minimum of 10 feet of brush clearance on each side. Fire access roads shall have an unobstructed vertical clearance to the sky. Trees overhanging fire access road shall be maintained to provide adequate vertical clearance.
Provide a minimum of 3 feet of brush clearance around all fire hydrants.
It is required that all trees and shrubs shall be maintained free of deadwood and litter. Shrubs may be required to be trimmed up from the ground 1/3 of their height. Trees shall be trimmed a minimum of 6 feet or 1/3 of their height up to 40 feet, depending on surface fuels.
8. Trees are best trimmed during dormancy or during the winter months. Care should be taken when trimming trees during spring as this is the nesting season for many species of birds.
INSPECTION FEE
The Board of Supervisors has authorized an Inspection Fee of $100.00 which will be assessed on all declared hazardous properties whether or not they are cleared by the property owner.
INSPECTION TIMELINE
Brush Clearance inspections are scheduled to begin April 1 in the Antelope Valley, June 1 in the Coastal Area, and May 1 in all other areas. If hazardous fire conditions exist on your property at the time of inspection, you will be issued an Officia Inspection Report which will indicate existing violations and provide specific clearing instructions and a compliance deadline.
Failure to comply with the Official Inspection Report will result in the imposition of a $500 administrative fine. An additional $908 direct assessment will be added to your annual tax bill as item CO FIRE ABMT ENF to recover the County of Los Angeles Fire Department costs related to enforcement of the Fire Code. Additionally, if your parcel is inspected or cleared by the Agricultural Commissioner, an inspection fee of $48.09 and the clearing costs will be placed on your annual tax bill as item LA CO HAZ

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
REVISED ANNUAL BRUSH CLEARANCE NOTICES TO LA
COUNTY RESIDENTS IN FIRE HAZARD SEVERITY ZONES
Los Angeles, CA - The County of Los Angeles Fire Department (Department) recently mailed the Annual 2023 Brush Clearance Notices to residents in Fire Hazard Severity Zones (FHSZs). There are approximately 60,000 homeowners who will be receiving this notice for the very first time, while others have been part of our annual brush clearance program for many years. Over the last two years, the Fire Department integrated a geospatial database into the Defensible Space Inspection Program that is far more accurate than visual identification used in previous years. Using criteria-based 1 mapping, numerous parcels have been identified within the FHSZs that have never been inspected.
California Health & Safety Code, Section 14902, allows recovery of inspection program costs. In 1989, the Los Angeles County Department of Agricultural Commissioner, Weights and Measures, was authorized by the Board of Supervisors to recover their inspection program costs. The Fire Department resisted imposing this fee until 2022. Working with the Board of Supervisors, the Fire Department agreed to phase in the Brush Inspection fee over a three-year period. In 2022, the fee was $50.00 (to be billed on the 2023 property tax bill); in 2023, the fee will be $100.00 (to be billed on the 2024 property tax bill); and in 2024, the fee will be $151.00 (to be billed on the 2025 property tax bill). These fees will be assessed on all declared hazardous properties whether they are cleared by the property owner or not. The fee is intended to offset the Department's costs in an effort to keep the Brush Clearance Inspection Program cost neutral.
Brush Clearance inspections are scheduled to begin as follows:
• April 1, 2023, in desert communities
• May 1, 2023, in inland communities
• June 1, 2023, in coastal communities
If hazardous fire conditions exist on a property at the time of inspection, the property owner will be issued an Official Inspection Report which will indicate existing violations and provide specific clearing instructions and a compliance deadline.
The Fire Department encourages residents to attend the upcoming Brush Inspection Educational Meetings scheduled for the following dates and times:
1. Thursday, March 9, 2023, from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
Rowland Heights Community Center (Rowland Heights)

Several notable changes to public meetings are impact cities? LEAGUE OF March 16, 2023
CALIFORNIA coming in 2023 thanks to new legislation that takes CITIES effect on Jan. 1 and the Governor's announcement that the COVID-19 State of Emergency will end on Feb. loseville Cit ouncil update
28. Ending the state of emergency will restrain how cities can conduct remote strategic plan meetings by limiting their ability to utilize AB 361 (Rivas, Robert), which is effective March 16, 2023 during a declared state of emergency.
Elk Grove responds
Cities will now be left with pre-pandemic teleconferencing laws and this year's AB to California 2449 (Rubio, Blanca). These pre-pandemic laws include several outdated torney Genera provisions, such as requiring members of a Ralph M. Brown Act body to make legations c housing
their teleconference location accessible to the public. Meanwhile, AB 2449 is discrimination limited in its scope and governed by onerous requirements. March 16, 2023 Two other laws - AB 2647 (Levine) and SB 1100 (Cortese) - will also take effect on Jan. 1, which govern public meetings more generally.
New remote public meetings option
RennePublicManagement.com
Asm. Rubio Blanca's AB 2449 allows local agencies to hold remote public meetings without identifying each teleconference location and without making each location accessible to the public. This alternative option can only be used under limited circumstances and will expire on Jan. 1, 2026. RPMG Crucially, this measure may be used if "just cause" is met or if "emergency circumstances" exist. Just cause is defined as any one of the following:
• Child care or caregiving of a child, parent, grandparent, grandchild, sibling, spouse, or domestic partner that requires a member to participate remotely.
• A contagious illness that prevents a member from attending in person. PROBOLSKY • A need related to a physical or mental disability. RESEARCH • Travel while on business of the legislative body or another state or local agency.
An emergency circumstance is a physical or family medical emergency that prevents a member of a legislative body from attending in person.
Under AB 2449, a member must notify the legislative body at the earliest possible opportunity - including at the start of a meeting - of their need to participate remotely and provide a general description of the circumstances related to one of the four items above. The member must make a request of the legislative body, which must approve the request.
A member may only use the just cause provisions up to two meetings per calendar year. A member may not participate in remote meetings under this law for more than three consecutive months or 20% of the agency's regular meetings within a calendar year. If the legislative body regularly meets less than 10 times a year, a member may not participate remotely for more than two meetings.
The legislative body must request a general description of the circumstances relating to the member's need to appear remotely. This description does not have to be more than 20 words and does not need to include any personal medical information.
The following rules also apply when meeting under just cause or emergency circumstances:
• Members participating remotely must do so through audio and visual technology.
• The legislative body must provide a way for the public to remotely hear, visually observe, and remotely address the legislative body. • The legislative body must provide notice of how the public can access the meeting and offer comment.
• The agenda must identify and include an opportunity for the public to attend and directly address the legislative body through a call-in option, an internet-based service option, and in-person at the meeting. • The legislative body cannot require comments to be submitted before the start of the meeting. The public must be allowed to make "real time" public • If there is a disruption to the meeting broadcast or in the ability to take call- in or internet-based public comment, no further action can be taken on agenda items until the issue is resolved.
• The legislative body must implement a procedure for receiving and resolving requests for reasonable accommodations for individuals with disabilities and must give notice of these procedures.
Additionally, members participating remotely must publicly disclose at the meeting whether anyone else 18 years or older is present with the member and the general nature of the member's relationship with the individual.
Supplementary materials and public
meetings
Under the Brown Act, any documents that are distributed to a majority of a legislative body less than 72 hours before a meeting must be distributed to the public at the same time. To meet this requirement, some local governments posted these materials online. However, the Third District Court of Appeals recently held that this does not meet Brown Act's requirements.
Cybersecurity Law
Planning, Regulatory Responses & Compliance, Litigation
ATTORNEYS
As a result, local governments had to place copies of the document in a designated office open to the public. This meant that agencies had to keep offices open past normal business hours or withhold late-breaking information until the next business day. This increased costs or caused delays in decision-making, as materials often need multiple days for analysis.
The Cal Cities-sponsored AB 2647 (Levine) seeks to resolve the issues created by this decision. This measure clarifies that supplementary materials distributed less than 72 hours before a meeting can be posted online if physical copies are made available for public inspection at the beginning of the next regular business day at a public office. These documents can also be made available at a designated location if the documents are made physically available for at least 24 hours before that meeting.
Disruptive conduct and public meetings
The last few years have seen a rise in disruptive and threatening behavior in public meetings. Lawmakers responded by passing SB 1100 (Cortese), a new process that allows a presiding member of a legislative body conducting a meeting, or their designee, to remove someone for disrupting the meeting SB 1100 prescribes the following process for removal:
• Warn the individual that their behavior is disrupting the meeting and their failure to cease their behavior may result in removal.
• Remove the individual if they do not "promptly" cease their disruptive behavior.
The bill defines disruptive behavior as that which disrupts, disturbs, impedes, or renders infeasible the orderly conduct of the meeting. This includes, but is not limited to:
• A failure to comply with reasonable and lawful regulations adopted by a legislative body pursuant to Section 54954.3 or any other law. • Engaging in behavior that constitutes the use of force or a true threat of force. "True threat of force" means a threat that a reasonable observer would perceive to be an actual threat to use force by the person making the threat.
However, existing statutory and case law already specifies other avenues for addressing public meeting disruptions. Under existing law - and as interpreted by the courts - a city council may adopt rules governing the conduct of their public meetings, including the removal of a person who makes slanderous, profane, or threatening remarks or other disorderly conduct that disrupts the Additionally, legislative bodies can adopt reasonable regulations to ensure that people can address a legislative body on any item of interest to the public.
However, the legislative body may not prohibit public criticism of its policies, procedures, programs, or services.
City officials and their attorneys may want to consider - should a situation call for it - whether they want to remove disruptive individuals pursuant to a rule adopted under existing statutory and case law or follow the new SB 1100 process.
Future Brown Act changes
Cal Cities will continue to push for sensible Brown Act modernization that balances local flexibility, transparency, and public accessibility, such as this year's AB 1944 (Lee). Although the measure ultimately failed, it would have given local governments the flexibility needed to operate effectively in a world that is increasingly dependent on the internet while also increasing access to public meetings.
