PUBLIC HEARING
13. ORDINANCE OF THE TOWN OF LOOMIS ENACTING CHAPTER 7.30 OF TITLE 7 HEALTH AND
SAFETY OF THE LOOMIS MUNICIPAL CODE TO ADOPT AND DESIGNATE FIRE HAZARD
SEVERITY ZONES
In 2022, California enacted Assembly Bill (AB) 211, requiring local agencies to designate, by ordinance, "moderate and high fire hazard severity zones". In late 2024, the Town of Loomis was notified by the Office of the State Fire Marshal (OSFM) that some areas of the Town would be designated in a severity zone.
Subsequently, on February 10, 2025, the Town of Loomis received official notification from the OSFM that, under Government Code § 51178, it is implementing Fire Hazard Severity Zones (FHSZ) and has classified 1,143 acres in Loomis as Moderate FHSZ and 1,888 acres as High FHSZ, with none designated as Very High FHSZ.
In accordance with state law, the Town of Loomis is required to formally adopt an ordinance adopting the FHSZ map classifying Moderate and High FHSZs in its jurisdiction. A key provision of this law mandates that for real estate transactions in High or Very High FHSZs, sellers must provide documentation of compliance with defensible space requirements by either requesting an inspection of the property from the fire department or disclosing that an inspection has not been completed.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Introduce, waive the full reading, and read by title only, an Ordinance of the Town Council of the Town of Loomis enacting Chapter 7.30 of Title 7 Health and Safety of the Loomis Municipal Code to adopt and designate Fire Hazard Severity Zones.
