I would like to comment on the proposed action "...extending the interim ordinance..." related to Senate Bills 450 ("SB-450") and 1211 ("SB-1211"). (See email below) However, I will not be able to attend the February 18th City Council meeting.
In light of what was seen recently in the fires in Los Angeles, the issue of the distance between structures needs to be considered. Notwithstnding the state law with which compliance is required, I ask that the City of Campbell explore whether there are any ways to delay, and perhaps block, the requirement to allow buildings to be closer to the property line. Fire can spread from one structure to another nearby structure and reducing the distance between structures can only increase the risk of fire spreading.
One may think "how much difference can one or two feet make?" with repsect to fire safety. This is a question that should be considered by the appropriate Santa Clara County fire safety experts and not left to speculation.
I am a California-registered Professional Engineer (Civil) and have worked in industry as a Environmental, Health, and Safety Regulations Coordinator. I am also a member of the City of Campbell Community Emergency Response Team (CERT).
