FHSZ Frequently Asked Questions
What do Fire Hazard Severity Zones measure?
The Fire Hazard Severity Zone map reflects “hazard,” not “risk”. The map is like flood zone maps, where lands are described in terms of the probability level of a par琀椀cular area being inundated by floodwaters, and not specifically prescrip琀椀ve of impacts. “Hazard” is based on the physical condi琀椀ons that create a likelihood and expected fire behavior over a 30 to 50-year period without considering mi琀椀ga琀椀on measures such as home hardening, recent wildfire, or fuel reduc琀椀on efforts.
“Risk” is the poten琀椀al damage a fire can do to the area under exis琀椀ng condi琀椀ons, accoun琀椀ng for any modifica琀椀ons such as fuel reduc琀椀on projects, defensible space, and igni琀椀on resistant building construc琀椀on.

What is a Fire Hazard Severity Zone or FHSZ?
Public Resource Code 4202; The State Fire Marshal shall classify lands within State Responsibility Areas into Fire Hazard Severity Zones. Each zone shall embrace rela琀椀vely homogeneous lands and shall be based on fuel loading, slope, fire weather, and other relevant factors present, including areas where winds have been iden琀椀fied by the department as a major cause of wildfire spread.

Government Code 51178; The State Fire Marshal shall iden琀椀fy areas in the state as Moderate, High, and Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones based on consistent statewide criteria and based on the severity of fire hazard that is expected to prevail in those areas. Moderate, High, and Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones shall be based on fuel loading, slope, fire weather, and other relevant factors including areas where winds have been iden琀椀fied by the Office of the State Fire Marshal as a major cause of wildfire spread.

Will the new Fire Hazard Severity Zones affect my ability to get or maintain insurance? Insurance companies use risk models, which differ from hazard models, because they consider the suscep琀椀bility of a structure to damage from fire and other short-term factors that are not included in hazard modeling. It is unlikely that insurance risk models would u琀椀lize CAL FIRE Fire Hazard Severity Zones as a factor, but much of the same data that is used in the Fire Hazard Severity Zone model are likely included in the insurance companies’ risk models. However, insurance risk models incorporate many addi琀椀onal factors and that change more frequently than those that CAL FIRE includes in its hazard mapping, which is built to remain steady for the next 10+ years.

General
FHSZ Frequently Asked Questions
When were the maps last updated?
In 2007, CAL FIRE updated the FHSZs for the en琀椀re State Responsibility Area (SRA). Between 2008- 2011 the department worked with local governments to make recommenda琀椀ons of the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones within Local Responsibility Area (LRA).

Why are fire hazard severity maps being updated?
The hazard maps are being updated to more accurately reflect the zones in California that are suscep琀椀ble to wildfire. The hazard mapping process will incorporate new science in local climate data and improved fire assessment modeling in determining hazard ra琀椀ngs.

Where do Fire Hazard Severity Zones apply?
Fire Hazard Severity Zones are found in areas where the state has financial responsibility for wildfire protec琀椀on and preven琀椀on, called the State Responsibility Area. More than 31 million acres are in this area. Under Senate Bill 63 (Stern, 2021) Government Code 51178 was amended to also iden琀椀fy the Moderate and High Fire Hazard Severity Zones with the Very High in Local Responsibility Area (LRA).

What are the uses of Fire Hazard Severity Zones?
The zones are used for several purposes including to designate areas where California’s defensible space standards and wildland urban interface building codes are required. They can be a factor in real estate disclosure, and local governments may consider them in their general plan.

What are the key elements of the Fire Hazard Severity Zone model? The fire hazard severity model for wildland fire has two key elements: probability of an area burning and expected fire behavior under extreme fuel and weather condi琀椀ons. The zones reflect areas that have similar burn probabili琀椀es and fire behavior characteris琀椀cs. The factors considered in determining fire hazard within wildland areas are fire history, flame length, terrain, local weather, and poten琀椀al fuel over a 50-year period. Outside of wildlands, the model considers factors that might lead to buildings being threatened, including terrain, weather, urban vegeta琀椀on cover, blowing embers, proximity to wildland, fire history, and fire hazard in nearby wildlands.

FHSZs are not a structure loss model, as key informa琀椀on regarding structure igni琀椀on (such as roof type, etc.) is not included.

General
FHSZ Frequently Asked Questions
How do the Fire Hazard Severity Zone Maps differ from California Public U琀椀li琀椀es Commission (CPUC) High Fire Threat District Maps?
The California Public U琀椀li琀椀es Commission (CPUC) sponsored map, known as "CPUC High Fire Threat District Map” (HFTD), includes similar factors as those in the FHSZ maps, however the CPUC HFTD Map is designed specifically for iden琀椀fying areas where there is an increased risk for u琀椀lity associated wildfires. As such, the CPUC map includes fire hazards associated with historical powerline-caused wildfires, current fuel condi琀椀ons, and scores areas based on where fires start, as opposed to where poten琀椀al fires may cause impacts.

How are Fire Hazard Severity Zones determined?
CAL FIRE used the best available science and data to develop, and field test a model that served as the basis of zone assignments. The model evaluated the probability of the area burning and poten琀椀al fire behavior in the area. Many factors were included such as fire history, vegeta琀椀on, flame length, blowing embers, proximity to wildland, terrain, and weather.

What new data will be included in the new model, and how does this differ from the previous model?
A 2 km grid of climate data covering the years 2003-2018 is being used in the update. The previous model used stock weather inputs across the state to calculate wildland fire intensity scores. The updated model will adjust fire intensity scores based on the most extreme fire weather at a given loca琀椀on, considering temperature, humidity, and wind speed. In addi琀椀on, ember transport is being modeled based on local distribu琀椀ons of observed wind speed and direc琀椀on values instead of using a generic buffer distance for urban areas adjacent to wildlands.

General
FHSZ Frequently Asked Questions
How can I search the Fire Hazard Severity Zone of a property? You can search by address to find your current designa琀椀on on the web at:
h琀琀ps://egis.fire.ca.gov/FHSZ/ osfm.fire.ca.gov/FHSZ
Why does the model place an emphasis on the spread of embers? Embers spread wildfire because they can travel long distances in the wind and ignite vegeta琀椀on, roofs, a琀cs (by ge琀ng into vents), and decks.

Why do waterbodies have a Fire Hazard Severity Zone Classifica琀椀on? All areas in State Responsibility Area, including water bodies, require a Fire Hazard Severity Zone designa琀椀on. The 2007 FHSZ maps zoned all water as Moderate by default. In the 2023 FHSZ model we added a buffer of FHSZ from the surrounding wildland into water bodies to account for poten琀椀al threat of embers to buildings on docks and house boats, as well as varia琀椀on in reservoir height that occurs with drought.

How does CAL FIRE assist Local Governments in Fire Hazard Severity Zones? CAL FIRE’s Land Use Planning Program is a specialized unit that provides support to local governments by providing fire safety exper琀椀se on the State’s wildland urban interface building codes, wildfire safety codes, as well as helping in the development of the safety elements in general plans. Currently there are 189 ci琀椀es and 56 coun琀椀es with FHSZ.

General
FHSZ Frequently Asked Questions
What is State Responsibility Area or SRA?
SRA is a legal term defining the area where the state has financial responsibility for wildland fire protec琀椀on and preven琀椀on. Incorporated ci琀椀es and federal ownership are not included. Within the SRA, CAL FIRE is responsible for fire preven琀椀on and suppression. There are more than 31 million acres in SRA, with an es琀椀mated 1.7 million people and 800,000 exis琀椀ng homes.

How is State Responsibility Area determined?
The Board of Forestry and Fire Protec琀椀on (Board) classifies land as State Responsibility Area. The legal defini琀椀on of SRA is found in the Public Resources Code Sec琀椀on 4125. The Board has developed detailed procedures to classify lands as State Responsibility Area. Lands are removed from SRA when they become incorporated by a city, change in ownership to the federal government, become more densely populated, or are converted to intensive agriculture that minimizes the risk of wildfire. While some lands are removed from SRA automa琀椀cally, the Board typically reviews changes every five years.

What Fire Hazard Severity Zones are in State Responsibility Area? All of the State Responsibility Area is in a Fire Hazard Severity Zone. Lands are either ranked as Moderate, High or Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones.

What are the wildland urban interface (WUI) building codes in State Responsibility Area? The WUI building codes (California Building Code (CBC) Chapter 7A) reduce the risk of embers fanned by wind-blown wildfires from igni琀椀ng buildings. The codes for roofing, siding, decking, windows, and vents apply throughout all State Responsibility Area regardless of the fire hazard severity ranking. Ember-resistant building materials can be found at:

FHSZ Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my property in a different zone than the adjacent area, which looks similar? In wildland areas, zone edges are a result of the way zones are delineated. Specifically, zones represent areas of similar slope and fuel poten琀椀al. Zone boundaries divide zones based on geographic and vegeta琀椀on features that align with fire hazard poten琀椀al; although, at a local scale, it may appear that the immediate area is similar on both sides of the edge. The class value within a zone is based on the average hazard score across the whole zone, so areas that are in the same zone but not immediately adjacent to a local area can have an influence on the final zone classifica琀椀on.

What is the difference between the various Fire Hazard Severity Zones? Classifica琀椀on of a wildland zone as Moderate, High or Very High Fire Hazard is based on the average hazard across the area included in the zone, which have a minimum size of 200 acres. In wildlands, hazard is a func琀椀on of modeled flame length under the worst condi琀椀ons and annual burn probability. Both these factors generally increase with increasing hazard level, but there may be instances where one value is Very High and the other is low, pushing the overall hazard into a more intermediate ranking. On average, both modeled flame length and burn probability increase by roughly 40-60% between hazard classes.

Is the GIS data for Fire Hazard Severity Zones available for download? The data inputs used to develop the Fire Hazard Severity Zones are iden琀椀fied in the Ini琀椀al Statement of Reasons (ISOR) Title 19 Development (ca.gov). CAL FIRE has developed an addi琀椀onal data package which consists of sequen琀椀al modeling steps, including any data inputs that were not already publicly available and referenced in the ISOR. The data package encompasses 34 spa琀椀al datasets and 8 tables, provided in raster, polygon, and table format. These datasets are forma琀琀ed for Esri ArcGIS so昀琀ware, except for four tables provided in Excel. Ten of the datasets are updated versions used to produce an edited SRA FHSZ map following the public comment period that ended April 4, 2023. Upon formal adop琀椀on of the FHSZ map, the final SRA FHSZ geospa琀椀al data file will become available. The data package is available on the FHSZ website Fire Hazard Severity Zones (ca.gov) under the science and methods banner.

SRA Questions
FHSZ Frequently Asked Questions
What is Local Responsibility Area or LRA?
Local Responsibility Areas (LRA) are incorporated ci琀椀es, urban regions, agriculture lands, and por琀椀ons of the desert where the local government is responsible for wildfire protec琀椀on. This is typically provided by city fire departments, fire protec琀椀on districts, coun琀椀es, and by CAL FIRE under contract.

When did Fire Hazard Severity Zones begin in Local Responsibility Area? Assembly Bill 337 (Bates, 1992) prompted by the devasta琀椀ng Oakland Hills Fire of 1991, calls for CAL FIRE to evaluate fire hazard severity in Local Responsibility Area and to make a recommenda琀椀on to the local jurisdic琀椀on where Very High FHSZ exist. Government Code 51175 then provides direc琀椀on for the local jurisdic琀椀on to take appropriate ac琀椀on.

How are Fire Hazard Severity Zones determined in Local Responsibility Areas? CAL FIRE uses an extension of the State Responsibility Area Fire Hazard Severity Zone model as the basis for evalua琀椀ng fire hazard in Local Responsibility Area. The Local Responsibility Area hazard ra琀椀ng reflects flame and ember intrusion from adjacent wildlands and from flammable vegeta琀椀on in the urban area.

What are the requirements for landowners in Fire Hazard Severity Zones in Local Responsibility Areas?
California’s WUI building codes (CBC Chapter 7A) apply to the design and construc琀椀on of new buildings located in High and Very High FHSZs in Local Responsibility Areas. Local ordinances may require igni琀椀on resistant construc琀椀on for remodel projects. Check with your local building department to determine which igni琀椀on resistant building codes apply to your project. In addi琀椀on, Government Code Sec琀椀on 51182 calls for defensible space clearance and other wildland fire safety prac琀椀ces for buildings. Owners are also required to make a natural hazard disclosure as part of a real estate transfer. For informa琀椀on regarding home hardening and defensible space clearance, visit www.readyforwildfire.org.

Does the designa琀椀on of Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones in the Local Responsibility Area trigger the 100-foot clearance requirement?
Yes, per Government Code 51182 unless a local government has passed a more stringent requirement, the 100-foot defensible space clearance applies. For informa琀椀on regarding home hardening and defensible space clearance, visit www.readyforwildfire.org.

LRA Questions
FHSZ Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the various Fire Hazard Severity Zones? Classifica琀椀on outside of wildland areas is based on the fire hazard of the adjacent wildland and the probability of flames and embers threatening buildings.

Why is my property in a different zone than the adjacent area, which looks similar? In non-wildland areas, zone edges occur based on distance to the wildland edge. Because hazard in these areas is largely determined by incoming embers from adjacent wildland, urban areas that are similar in vegeta琀椀on type and housing density may have a change in FHSZ class as the distance to the wildland edge increases. Areas immediately adjacent to wildland receive the same FHSZ score as that wildland where fire originates, and the model then produces lower scores as the distance to wildland edge increases.

What is the process for developing Fire Hazard Severity Zones in the Local Responsibility Area? CAL FIRE uses the same modeling data that is used to map the State Responsibility Area. The department works with local jurisdic琀椀ons for valida琀椀on of the mapping. The map, along with a model ordinance, are then sent to the governing body for adop琀椀on.

How are the new Fire Hazard Severity Zones impac琀椀ng development? Many of the changes expanding Fire Hazard Severity Zones in Local Responsibility Areas have been supported by the building industry. CAL FIRE works closely with the building industry when se琀ng various building codes and defensible space requirements, so we are working together to not affect development itself but to make sure development matches the hazards of that area.

When will the Local Responsibility Area Map be released? The Local Responsibility Area map process will happen a昀琀er the State Responsibility Area process has been completed, which is es琀椀mated to occur in winter of 2024/25.

Why haven’t Moderate and High Fire Hazard Severity Zone classes been classified before in the Local Responsibility Area?
New legisla琀椀on, Senate Bill 63 (Stern, 2021), now requires the adop琀椀on of all three Fire Hazard Severity Zone classes in the Local Responsibility Area. Previously only Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones were required for adop琀椀on in Local Responsibility Areas.

Assembly Bill No.337
An act to add Chapter 6.8 (commencing with Section 51175) to Part 1 of Division 1 of Title 5 of the Government Code, and to amend Section 13108.5 of the Health and Safety Code, relating to fire protection.
[Enrolled, January 28, 1991]
AB 337, Bates. Very high fire hazard severity zones.
(1) Under existing law, the State Board of Forestry is required to classify all lands within the state, in accordance with prescribed criteria, for the purpose of determining areas in which the financial responsibility of preventing and suppressing fires is primarily the responsibility of the state.

This bill would declare that the prevention of fires is not a municipal affair but is instead, a matter of statewide concern, and would make a finding and declaration of the Legislature that its provisions apply to all local agencies, including, but not limited to, charter cities, charter counties, and charter cities and counties. The bill would prohibit that finding from limiting the authority of a local agency, as defined, from imposing more restrictive fire and panic safety requirements, as otherwise authorized by law.

The bill would state that it is not the intent of the Legislature to limit or restrict the authority of a local agency to impose more restrictive fire and panic safety requirements, as otherwise authorized by law.

This bill would require the Director of Forestry and Fire Protection to identify areas in the state as very high fire hazard severity zones within all counties pursuant to a prescribed schedule. The bill would require local agencies, as defined, to designate, by ordinance, very high fire hazard severity zones in their jurisdiction after receiving recommendations from the director, except as prescribed. The bill would authorize local agencies to include or exclude areas following certain findings and would require changes made by local agencies to be final and not rebuttable by the director. By requiring local agencies to designate very high fire hazard severity zones within their jurisdictions, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The bill would require the State Fire Marshal to prepare and adopt a model ordinance that provides for the establishment of any high fire hazard security zones.

LRA Legislation Factsheet
Assembly Bill No.337 (Continued)
(2) Under existing law, any person who owns, leases, controls, operates, or maintains any building or structure in, upon, or adjoining any mountainous area or forest-covered lands, brush-covered lands, or grass-covered lands, or any land that is covered with flammable material, is required to undertake specified fire protection measures, including the maintenance of specified firebreaks.

The bill would enact requirements of this nature for any person who owns, leases, controls, operates, or maintains, any occupied dwelling or occupied structure in, upon, or adjoining any mountainous area, forest-covered land, brush-covered land, grass-covered land, or land covered with flammable material, which area or land is within a very high fire hazard severity zone, as described in (1).

The bill would authorize local agencies to exempt certain structures and would exempt certain land or water areas.

The bill would make violation of these requirements an infraction or misdemeanor, as specified, thereby imposing a state-mandated local program by creating a new crime, and would specify related matters.

This bill would require local agencies to notify owners of property of violation and would authorize local agencies to correct the conditions and make a lien upon the property, as prescribed. By creating these requirements, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

The bill would permit a violation of these requirements to be considered a public nuisance, as specified.
(3) Existing law requires the State Fire Marshal to adopt, amend, and repeal regulations for roof coverings and openings into the attic areas of buildings in those fire hazard severity zones in state responsibility lands as designated by the director. Existing law requires the director to classify lands within state responsibility areas into fire hazard severity zones.

This bill would instead require the State Fire Marshal to propose, and would require the State Building Standards Commission to adopt, amend, and repeal those regulations. The bill would also require the State Fire Marshal to propose, and would require the State Building Standards Commission to adopt, amend, and repeal, those regulations for buildings in very high fire hazard severity zones in state responsibility lands, designated by the director, and in very high fire hazard severity zones as described in (1). The bill would require roofs on all new buildings and certain existing buildings in both of those zones to be at least a class B roof that complies with Standard 32-7 of the Uniform Building Code, as adopted in the California Building Standards Code. The bill would impose requirements on installers and roofing materials and make other related changes. The bill would exempt historic buildings, as defined, from these provisions.

Existing law requires a local agency, within 30 days after receiving a transmittal from the director that identifies very high fire hazard severity zones, to make the information available for public review, as provided.

This bill, among other things, would also require the director to identify areas of the state as moderate and high fire hazard severity zones. The bill would modify the factors the director is required to use to identify areas into fire hazard severity zones, as provided. The bill would require a local agency to make this information available for public review and comment, as provided. By expanding the responsibility of a local agency, the bill would impose a statemandated local program.

This bill would also make conforming changes.
(2) Existing law requires a person who owns, leases, controls, operates, or maintains an occupied dwelling or structure in, upon, or adjoining a mountainous area, forest-covered land, brushcovered land, grass-covered land, or land that is covered with flammable material that is within a very high fire hazard severity zone, as designated by a local agency, or a building or structure in, upon, or adjoining those areas or lands within a state responsibility area, to maintain a defensible space of 100 feet from each side and from the front and rear of the structure, as specified. Existing law authorizes a greater distance than specified above on the specified land in a very high fire hazard severity zone. Existing law specifies that clearance beyond the property line may only be required if state law, local ordinance, rule, or regulation includes certain findings and specifies that clearance on adjacent property shall only be conducted following written consent by the adjacent landowner.

(g) A local agency shall post a notice at the office of the county recorder, county assessor, and county planning agency identifying the location of the map provided by the State Fire Marshal pursuant to Section 51178. If the agency amends the map, pursuant to subdivision (b) or (c) of this section, the notice shall instead identify the location of the amended map. (Amended by Stats. 2022, Ch. 574, Sec. 10. (AB 211) Effective September 27, 2022.) LRA Legislation Factsheet
Increasing Fire Hazard Severity Zone (FHSZ)
Area and Designation
Government Code section 51179 requires a local agency to designate, by ordinance, moderate, high, and very high FHSZ within 120 days of receiving the identified FHSZ’s from the State Fire Marshal pursuant to Section 51178.

The law does not allow for a local jurisdiction to request changes or provide comments to the State Fire Marshal on the FHSZ designations. However, a local agency may choose to increase the designation of a FHSZ from the FHSZ identified by the State Fire Marshal, or designate areas as having a FHSZ that were not designated in a FHSZ by the State Fire Marshal. This may occur because FHSZ zone edges in the maps and data from the State Fire Marshal are not aligned with parcel boundaries or roads that some may consider for lines of convenance when adopting ordinances. A local agency is not allowed to reduce the designation of a FHSZ classification from the State Fire Marshal (i.e. a local agency cannot make an area designated as High by the State Fire Marshal, Moderate in its adopted ordinance).

However, a local jurisdiction can increase the designation from the one identified by the State Fire Marshal. If a local agency decides to increase the designation of a FHSZ, it may do so if it does the following:

1. If increasing the designation to Very High, a local agency must make a finding supported by substantial evidence in the record that the requirements of Government Code section 51182 are necessary for effective fire protection.

2. If increasing the designation to Moderate or High, a local agency may do this at its discretion.

If a local agency decides to include areas in its FHSZ adopted ordinance not identified as being in a FHSZ by the State Fire Marshal, it may include those areas if it does the following:

1. If including areas not identified as being in a FHSZ and designating it as Very High, a local agency must make a finding supported by substantial evidence in the record that the requirements of Government Code section 51182 are necessary for effective fire protection.

2. If including areas not identified as being in a FHSZ and designating it as Moderate or High, a local agency may do this at its discretion.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA – JUNE 3, 2025
SUBJECT: Approval of State Senate Bill 1 (SB1) Project List for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 SOURCE: Engineering and Project Management
COMMENT: In April 2017, the State Legislature passed, and then Governor Brown signed Senate Bill 1 (SB1), which was enacted to address basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety needs on both the State highway and local streets and roads system.

The legislation created funding in the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA), which will be made available for local streets and roads projects prioritized for expenditures on basic road maintenance and rehabilitation projects. RMRA funding must be used for projects "that include, but are not limited to," the following:
a. Road maintenance and rehabilitation
b. Safety projects
c. Railroad grade separations
d. Traffic control devices
e. Complete streets components, including "active transportation purposes, pedestrian bicycle safety projects, transit facilities, and drainage and stormwater capture projects in conjunction with any other allowable project RMRA funds may also be used to satisfy match requirements in order to obtain State or Federal funds for eligible projects.

Local agencies are required to submit a yearly project list to the California Transportation Commission (CTC) to show where RMRA funds will be spent.

The project list must be approved by Resolution through the agency's governing body. Failure to submit a project list will cause a city to lose that year's apportionment. The City will submit an annual report of completion to the CTC to show that RMRA funds were spent properly.

Cities can expect to receive approximately $1,000,000 of RMRA funds per fiscal year, which for Fiscal Year 2025-2026, the City of Porterville is expected to receive an apportionment of $1,704,467. To receive the RMRA allocation, the City is required to sustain a Maintenance of Effort (MOE) by spending at least Item No. 17.
the annual average of its General Fund expenditures for streets and transportation purposes during the 2009-2010, 2010-2011, and 2011-2012 Fiscal Years. The MOE amount required by the City of Porterville each fiscal year to receive its RMRA funds apportionment is $693,653.

For Fiscal Year 2024-2025, staff recommends that RMRA funds be allocated to the Henrahan Reconstruction Project between Morton Avenue and Grand Avenue and the Main Street Reconstruction Project between Putnam Avenue and Olive Avenue. Both projects are listed in the attached draft Resolution as the design is complete and will be ready for construction.

RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council:

1. Adopt the draft Resolution for the SB1 project list for FY 2025- 2026;

2. Authorize the City Clerk to record the attached draft Resolution; and

3. Authorize staff to submit the project list package to the California Transportation Commission to secure the City's FY 2025-2026 RMRA apportionment.

COMMENT: This year, the first Tuesday in July falls on July 1, 2025, which is in close proximity to the Independence Day holiday. Historically, the City Council has considered cancellation of early July meetings when they align closely with this holiday to accommodate staff schedules and community travel.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA – JUNE 3, 2025
SUBJECT: Status and Review of Declaration of Local Flood Emergency SOURCE: City Manager's Office
COMMENT: On March 13, 2023, former Mayor Martha A. Flores, in conjunction with Acting City Manager Patrice Hildreth, declared the existence of a local emergency within the City of Porterville. This declaration was made pursuant to Chapter 9 of the Porterville Municipal Code and in response to a series of storm systems impacting the Porterville area, increasing flows in the Tule River and posing a significant threat to life and property. The City Council ratified the declaration at its Special Meeting on March 17, 2023, in accordance with the California Emergency Services Act (Government Code § 8558 et seq.). Per State requirements, the declaration must be renewed every sixty (60) days to remain in effect. At its most recent meeting on May 20, 2025, the Council renewed the emergency declaration.

Staff continues to work with FEMA to resolve outstanding claims and identify a timeline and path forward. In an effort to reduce the size of the agenda binder while still keeping the Council informed, staff is including only the most current Armory Census as an attachment to this report. Once the declaration of local flood emergency is officially concluded, and in coordination with FEMA guidance, staff will prepare a final close-out report that includes all supporting documentation and attachments currently on file.

Chronology of Emergency Response Actions:
• March 10–19, 2023: Tulare County Sheriff and City officials issued a series of evacuation warnings and mandatory orders due to rising water levels and flood threats, including areas near Success Lake, River Springs Drive, and Rio Vista Avenue.
• March 13, 2023: The City declared a Local Emergency.
• March 15–25, 2023: City Public Works performed extraordinary flood mitigation efforts. Evacuation orders were adjusted based on river activity.
• March 17, 2023: The City Council ratified the emergency declaration. • April 11, 2023: The Temporary Evacuation Point (TEP) and Emergency Shelter relocated from Porterville College to the Porterville Armory.

Item No. 20.
• April 14–May 5, 2023: The City and County executed an MOU to continue Armory TEP operations without Cal OES funding. • May 5, 2023: The City assumed full operational and financial responsibility for the Armory site.
• May 16, 2023: The Council approved a one-year no-cost license agreement for exclusive use of the Armory.
• April–July 2023:
o Council approved emergency expenditures including water rescue equipment, mobile ADA-compliant restrooms, and flood mitigation services.
o Due to contract violations, TopKnotch Security was terminated and replaced by Good Guard Security for ongoing Armory safety services.
• State and Federal Declarations:
o Governor Newsom issued Executive Orders N-6-23, N-7-23, and N-10-23 to support flood response and recovery.
o President Biden’s Major Disaster Declaration (April 3, 2023) activated federal recovery funding; FEMA formally closed the incident period on July 10, 2023.

RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council receive the report of status and review of the Declaration of Local Emergency and determine the need exists to continue said Declaration.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA – JUNE 3, 2025
SUBJECT: Consideration of Approval of Modification No. 2 of Conditional Use Permit (PRC 2017-060-C) for Temple of Praise Christian Fellowship SOURCE: Community Development
COMMENT: The applicant, the Temple of Praise Christian Fellowship, located at 22213 Avenue 152, is requesting Modification No. 2 to its Conditional Use Permit (PRC 2017-060-C) amending the requirement for a three-bin trash enclosure with the use of commercial-can refuse service. The modification includes constructing an appropriate enclosure that complies with City standards to contain the required refuse bins.

BACKGROUND: On May 1, 2018, the City Council approved Conditional Use Permit PRC 2017-060-C via Resolution No. 26-2018, allowing the establishment of a religious facility for Temple of Praise Christian Fellowship.

On December 9, 2020, church leadership submitted a request for accommodations related to the required paved parking lot and trash enclosure. The request included using residential bin service and a gravel parking surface temporarily, while the church worked toward meeting the improvement conditions. Per Condition No. 2 of Resolution No. 26-2018, any changes to the approved conditions required a CUP amendment.

On December 23, 2020, the Project Review Committee discussed the request and determined that a five-year extension on both the surfacing and refuse enclosure requirements would not likely result in significant issues. On April 6, 2021, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 06-2021, approving Modification No. 1 to the CUP. This allowed for temporary gravel parking and residential bin collection through April 1, 2026.

On December 5, 2024, staff received a second request from the church leadership asking to permanently replace the three-bin trash enclosure requirement with commercial-can service.

On February 19, 2025, the Project Review Committee met with church representatives to evaluate the proposed modification. The request Item No. 21.
involves constructing a compliant enclosure to support commercial-can refuse service, which will replace the previously required three-bin commercial enclosure.

ANALYSIS: The project is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Designation and Zoning Standards for RM-3 (High Density Residential). This zone allows a range of public and semi-public uses, including religious facilities, with an approved Conditional Use Permit. The requested modification is therefore consistent with the zoning district and General Plan.

Field Services staff reviewed the request and confirmed that commercialcan service with a compliant enclosure is functionally acceptable. The revised enclosure will be constructed to meet all applicable City of Porterville standards.

Pursuant to Section 604.04 of the Porterville Development Ordinance, the City Council must make the following findings to approve a Conditional Use Permit or any modification thereof:

1. Approval of the proposed project will advance the goals and objectives and is consistent with the policies of the general plan and any other applicable plan that the city has adopted.
a). The project is consistent with the General Plan and the allowed uses under its corresponding General Plan Land Use Designation of High Density Residential, which allows for Religious Facilities with a Conditional Use Permit. There are no other plans that apply to this property. i. LLU-G-1: Promote a sustainable, balanced land-use pattern that responds to the existing and future needs of the City.
ii. LU-G-8: Allow and encourage efficient infill development in existing neighborhoods.

2. The location, size, design, and operating characteristics of the proposed project are consistent with the purposes of the district where it is located and conforms in all significant respects with the general plan, this development ordinance and with any other applicable plan adopted by the city council.
a). This project complies with §202.02, §604.04, and all other sections of the Porterville Development Ordinance. It also complies with the General Plan. There are no other plans that apply to this property.

ENVIRONMENTAL
REVIEW:

On May 22, 2025, the Environmental Coordinator made a preliminary determination that the project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Section 15301, Existing Facilities, of the California Code of Regulations (CEQA Guidelines), as the project does not propose any physical modification or expansion of the facility and includes only a negligible increase to an approved operational parameter (i.e., the type of Item No. 21.
trash service and the trash enclosure size).

RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council:

1. Hold a public hearing and consider any public testimony concerning the proposed Modification No. 2 to Conditional Use Permit (Resolution 26-2018);

2. Find the proposed project exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Section 15301 - Existing Facilities of the California Code of Regulations; and

3. Adopt the attached draft resolution approving Modification No. 2 to Conditional Use Permit (Resolution 26-2018).

301.23: CANNABIS CULTIVATION, USE, AND COMMERCIAL ACTIVITIES:

A. Purpose And Intent:

1. The City Council, based on evidence presented to it in the proceedings leading to the adoption of this chapter, hereby finds that the cultivation, preparation, and distribution of cannabis in the City has caused and is causing ongoing impacts to the community. These impacts include increases in various types of crime due to outdoor grows, damage to buildings containing indoor grows, including improper and dangerous electrical alterations and use, inadequate ventilation leading to mold and mildew, increased frequency of home-invasion robberies and related crimes. Many of these Ordinance No. 1911

impacts have fallen disproportionately on residential neighborhoods, but nonetheless also negatively impact properties in the Commercial Districts. These impacts have also created an increase in response costs, including Code enforcement, building, land use, fire, and police staff time and expenses.

2. The City Council finds that the restrictions and/or prohibitions on non-commercial cultivation, commercial marijuana cultivation, marijuana processing, marijuana delivery, and marijuana dispensaries are necessary for the preservation and protection of the public health, safety, and welfare for the City and its community. The City Council’s prohibition of such activities is within the authority conferred upon the City Council in its Charter and State law.

3. The purpose of this section is to restrict non-commercial cultivation, and to restrict and/or prohibit the establishment of commercial cannabis uses in the City.

B. Interpretation And Applicability:

1. Nothing in this section is intended to, nor shall it be construed to, preclude a landlord from limiting or prohibiting cannabis cultivation, smoking or other related activities by tenants.

2. Nothing in this section is intended to, nor shall it be construed to, burden any defense to criminal prosecution otherwise afforded by California law.

3. Nothing in this section is intended to, nor shall it be construed to, exempt any cannabis related activity from any and all applicable local and State construction, electrical, plumbing, land use, or any other building or land use standards or permitting requirements.

4. Nothing in this section is intended to, nor shall it be construed to, make legal any cultivation, transportation, sale or other use of cannabis that is otherwise prohibited under California law.

5. All cultivation activities within City limits shall be subject to the provisions of this section and other applicable provisions of this Code, regardless of whether the cultivation activities existed or occurred prior to adoption of this section.

C. Definitions: For the purpose of this section, the following definitions shall apply unless the context clearly indicates or requires a different meaning:

Item No. 25.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA – JUNE 3, 2025
SUBJECT: Consideration of Updates to Unauthorized Camping Regulations and Policies, Including the Development and Implementation of a Reunification Program for Individuals Experiencing Homelessness
SOURCE: City Manager's Office
COMMENT: The City's "Ordinance Regulating Unsafe and Unauthorized Camping and Storage of Personal Property, the Protection of Critical Infrastructure, and Mitigation of Harm to the Public Health, Safety, and Welfare" was implemented approximately one year ago. Since its implementation, a key U.S.

Supreme Court decision was issued, and the strategies and challenges to addressing the homelessness crisis continue to evolve.

The purpose of this item is to present for City Council consideration a draft ordinance updating the City’s unauthorized camping regulations and to initiate discussion on the development of a reunification program aimed at assisting individuals experiencing homelessness. The updated ordinance reflects legal and policy changes consistent with the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Johnson v. Grants Pass, recent state guidance, and feedback received from the City Council during prior discussions.

The draft ordinance amends Article VII of Chapter 18 of the Porterville Municipal Code to provide a clearer and more streamlined framework for regulating unsafe and unauthorized camping and the storage of personal property within the City. It seeks to balance the City’s obligation to protect public health, safety, and welfare with the legal rights and dignity of individuals experiencing homelessness. The ordinance clarifies restricted areas where camping is prohibited, including those near critical infrastructure, emergency shelters, schools, playgrounds, and other sensitive locations. It also outlines procedures for enforcement and the handling of personal property in a manner that aims to be both lawful and humane. These updates are necessary to address ongoing public safety, sanitation, and access issues while reinforcing the City's continued efforts to provide shelter and services to those in need. The updates also include 1) a proposed minimum 24-hour notice instead of a minimum 72-hour notice, prior to implementing any of the enforcement mechanisms, while maintaining the City's ability to provide even shorter notice in specific (or exigent) circumstances, and 2) a suggested Item No. 25.
shorter minimum period for storing certain personal property, adjusting the period from 90 to 60 days.

Also attached is the current Critical Infrastructure Resolution, describing the restricted public property (along with the associated limitations and buffer zones), for review by the City Council for consideration of any potential amendments. Additionally, for the City Council's information and reference, the Model Ordinance published by the Governor in May is attached for your information and reference purposes. This model takes a different approach by purporting to ban camping on all public property but providing for longer periods before allowing notice and/or removal of the campsites.

In addition to the ordinance revisions, this item introduces the concept of a reunification program. The proposed program would provide support for individuals experiencing homelessness who express a desire to reconnect with family or support networks in the geographical area where that support is located. By partnering with nonprofit organizations, the City could facilitate voluntary travel or relocation assistance, ensuring that participants are connected to the appropriate services. The concept is modeled on similar programs adopted by other jurisdictions and offers a potentially compassionate and cost-effective assistance strategy. Several Council Members, including the Mayor and Vice Mayor, have expressed interest in this approach.

There are several examples of reunification assistance programs in the State.

For example, in the City of San Diego, the city's "Family Unification Program" is operated by the Downtown Property & Business Improvement District (PBID), also known as Downtown San Diego Partnership. The organization operates a variety of programs addressing urban cleanliness, safety, and beautification, as well as care for unhoused individuals. The City of Oceanside provides a Reunification Program to help people reconnect with friends and family, with staff communicating with all parties to find available stable accommodations and assist with travel expenses if needed. In the City of Long Beach, a community-based donation pool was created in 1990 to meet gaps in homeless services delivery, including relocation assistance. The funds are distributed to a number of service providers for uses that include relocation support and transportation assistance, such as subsidized bus vouchers. The City of Santa Monica launched Project Homecoming in 2006, a family reunification initiative that provides individuals experiencing homelessness with financial assistance in reconnecting with family and friends outside the region who agree to provide housing support. It is reported that between 2006 and 2015, the program assisted over 1600 individuals in reconnecting with support networks, at an average cost of $214 per person. The City of San Jose launched a pilot program called "Homeward Bound" in 2025, in which the City will fund transportation costs for consenting unhoused residents and their loved ones willing to take them in. Attached is some information related to Item No. 25.
the programs in San Diego and San Jose.

This item serves as an opportunity for the Council to review the draft ordinance and current resolution, consider and provide input on their provisions, and provide direction on whether to pursue the reunification program. Depending on the feedback received, staff anticipates bringing back the ordinance for first reading at an upcoming meeting, along with a draft resolution to establish program parameters, if so directed.

RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council:

1. Review and provide direction on the draft ordinance
amending Article VII of Chapter 18 of the Porterville Municipal Code regarding unauthorized camping;

2. Consider the policy concept of a reunification program to assist individuals experiencing homelessness reconnect with support networks; and

3. Direct staff to prepare a draft resolution and program implementation plan for future Council consideration, if supported.

WHEREAS, all people have a right to be protected from environmental polluƟon and to live in and enjoy clean, healthful, and safe living condiƟons; and
WHEREAS, camping in undesignated campsites within the City limits creates unsanitary, unhealthy, disorderly, and dangerous condiƟons that may affect both the campers and the general public, for example when the camping has occurred in the Tule Riverbed or along the embankments, where there has been both severe flood and fire dangers to those camping and the public depending on the season; and
WHEREAS, camping in undesignated campsites within the City limits tends to degrade and even destroy the property upon which the camping is occurring, parƟcularly in situaƟons where an encampment is large and ongoing; and
WHEREAS, camping in undesignated campsites within the City limits not only detracts from the use of the property for its intended purposes but also can create dangerous condiƟons for the public; and WHEREAS, the City has the authority to adopt regulaƟons to ensure the public’s health, safety, and general welfare, and desires to regulate camping within the City; and WHEREAS, a federal Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals decision, MarƟn v. City of Boise, 920 F.3d 584 (9 th Cir. 2019) (“MarƟn”), prohibits criminal prosecuƟon for sleeping outside on public property when adequate shelter is not reasonably available for persons involuntarily experiencing homelessness, based upon an interpretaƟon of the Cruel and Unusual Punishments Clause of the U.S. ConsƟtuƟon’s Eight Amendment; and WHEREAS, the federal Ninth Circuit court suggested in its decision in MarƟn that the prohibiƟon on criminal prosecuƟon would not apply to individuals who have reasonable access to adequate temporary shelter; and
WHEREAS, the Ninth Circuit court in MarƟn suggested that even when adequate shelter is unavailable, an ordinance establishing reasonable Ɵme, place, and manner regulaƟons on siƫng, lying, or sleeping may be allowed under the U.S. ConsƟtuƟon when the regulaƟons are to address legiƟmate public health and safety concerns; and

WHEREAS, there are available low barrier overnight shelters operaƟng within the City, that as of the date of the adopƟon of this Ordinance have had space available nightlyto serve individuals experiencing homelessness in the City; and
WHEREAS, the City has invested significant funds, resources, and Ɵme to assist persons experiencing homelessness to find temporary and permanent shelter and necessary public health services to address the causes of their homelessness, has sought to address the underlying issues contribuƟng to homelessness and has striven to be a part of the soluƟon. These City of Porterville acƟons and efforts have included:

1. City Council, City Manager and staff parƟcipaƟon on commiƩees and sub‐commiƩees with service groups, regional non‐profits, County Public Health Services, and other agencies to address causes of homelessness and work towards soluƟons.

2. The Police Department’s creaƟon, expansion, and conƟnued operaƟon of a SMART team to operate as a provide homeless liaison services to address needs of the unhoused within the City limits and encourage coordinaƟon or facilitate connecƟons with available resources.

1. Homeless encampments raise a number of public health concerns related to waste, sanitaƟon, and disease transmission. Unhoused people, like all other people, generate solid waste during their daily acƟviƟes of food preparaƟon and consumpƟon, shelter building and maintenance and storing their possessions. Without any place or method of proper storage or disposal, the resulƟng piles of trash become food sources for rodents, breeding grounds for pathogens, fuel for fires, and unaƩracƟve nuisances to the public.

DraŌ version for Update ConsideraƟon June 2025
3 2. The opportunity for the spread of communicable diseases is increased in homeless encampments lacking basic sanitaƟon services and waste collecƟon, with some diseases such as hepaƟƟs A and typhus more likely to occur in homeless populaƟons.

3. Health and safety issues are presented by the violaƟon of fire, building, electrical and other codes and standards for public health and safety, including the unauthorized and unpermiƩed use of electrical and uƟlity connecƟons, due to the potenƟal and reality of unsafe and unhealthy condiƟons in encampments, posing life, safety, fire and health threats to both the occupants of the encampments, the general public and emergency responders.

4. Health and safety issues are exacerbated and compounded by larger encampments as there is an exponenƟal increase in these health and safety issues the larger the encampment, including but not limited to both accumulaƟon of trash and debris as well as the greater likelihood of the spread of disease.

5. The City regularly receives a large volume of emails, phone calls and in‐person complaints regarding the encampments in the City, and the frequency and number of these complaints has beenconƟnues to  increaseing greatly, recently and in the last year.

6. The homelessness problem in Porterville impacts crime rates. Homelessness‐related crime rates are significant both in terms of crimes against the homeless and also crimes commiƩed by the homeless. The Porterville Police Department esƟmates a call volume of 17% of total calls for service are related to our unhoused populaƟon (with this percentage including complaints as well as arrests).

7. Business owners and residents near encampments are confronted by trash, used needles, and human waste, and increased instances of open drug use, property damage, theŌ, and break‐ins. They have seen their property values decline, their small businesses fail, and their public spaces become uninhabitable.

8. Businesses and residences near encampments experience physical impediments to access to public and private property which both impedes emergency responses, evacuaƟon of occupants during an emergency, and general public access, as well as exacerbates the likelihood of conflict, inƟmidaƟon and threats to the public safety for both the unhoused as well as all members of the public, and furthermore the collecƟon of biohazard materials, human waste, trash and rubbish near businesses and residenƟal areas contributes to a general decline in public health, safety and welfare.

9. Encampments near emergency shelters established for emergency evacuaƟons during events such as winter rainstorms can cause barriers to access for evacuees.

10. Encampments near acƟve construcƟon sites, trash enclosures, areas with heavy vehicle use, and similar areas pose unique threats to both the unhoused as well as the operators of construcƟon equipment and vehicles through unintenƟonal yet predictable collisions and threats to health and safety.

11. Encampments on or near public uƟliƟes and criƟcal infrastructure, such as stormwater, water and sewer infrastructure, fire staƟons, electrical wires and natural gas pipelines, pose unique safety, environmental and security issues and are generally closed to the public or have limited public access for safety, environmental and security reasons.

4 12. Unauthorized connecƟons or taps to public uƟliƟes, as well as violaƟon of fire, building, electrical and other codes and standards, create unsafe condiƟons and a potenƟal life safety hazard for the occupant, the general public and emergency responders.

13. Encampments pose immense public health concerns as the rates of overdoses from drugs like fentanyl and heroin have increased substanƟally among the unhoused and encampments can provide an environment conducive to illegal drug consumpƟon.

14. Abandoned encampment cleanups are performed by City Police officers and Parks and Leisure services department staff with police equipment, fire and City code enforcement officers and staff in an aƩempt to maintain and or control the spread of large encampments and this taxes public resources while unnecessarily exposing first responders and City staff to unhealthy and unsafe situaƟons.

15. Fires in unsafe locaƟons for cooking and warming occur at encampments increasing the risk of fires posing a threat to safety and health, and the City has had to respond directly to major fires caused by such acƟviƟes over the years.

16. AccumulaƟon of biohazard and medical waste occurs in and around encampments and these items end up in our creeks, storm drains, waterways, and beaches posing a direct threat to health and safety.

17. Severe blockage of storm drains and also the Tule Riverbed, due to excessive encampment debris and/or degradaƟon of the river embankments leads to increased roadway and stream flooding and drain blockages during storms causing threats to health and safety.

18. During Ɵmes of severe storms, unhoused camps are located in and must be evacuated from riverbeds; sloughs; embankments; low lying, unsafe areas; and storm drains due to increased risk of flooding, rapid water movement, and blockage of storm drains, posing safety threats to the residents of the encampments; and
WHEREAS, in light of these significant and conƟnuing threats to public health and safety, the City previously seeks to adopted reasonable Ɵme, place and manner regulaƟons on unauthorized camping, and now desires to adopt amendments  in a manner consistent with the federal Ninth Circuit court’s decisions in MarƟn andU.S. Supreme Court decision in Grants Pass, and that address addiƟonal issues and consideraƟon; and
WHEREAS, the City finds that reasonable camping regulaƟons for public property will best serve the public’s health, safety, and general welfare.

NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PORTERVILLE, CALIFORNIA, DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. RECITALS. The recitals set forth above are true and correct and are hereby adopted as findings in support of this Ordinance as if fully set forth herein.

SECTION 2. CHAPTER 18, ARTICLE VII REPEALED AND REPLACED IN ITS ENTIRETYAMENDED. . ArƟcle VII of Chapter 18 (SecƟons 18‐76 through 18‐83), enƟtled “SquaƩer CampsUnauthorized Camping RegulaƟons,” is hereby repealed in its enƟrety and is replacedamended with the followingas follows:

CHAPTER 18. ARTICLE VII – UNAUTHORIZED CAMPING REGULATIONS DraŌ version for Update ConsideraƟon June 2025
5 SecƟon 18‐76 FINDINGS AND PURPOSE
A. As the City conƟnues to offer assistance and services to persons experiencing homelessness, the City must appropriately consider various interests and formulate policy to best protect public health, safety, welfare, property, and the environment, with its limited resources.

B. The City Council acknowledges that at the Ɵme of the adopƟon of this ordinance, although there has been available nightly shelter space within the City, there is a lack of nightly shelter beds and housing available regionally for persons experiencing homelessness and recognizes the systemic lack of state and federal investment in shelter and public health services for those experiencing homelessness.

C. The City Council acknowledges that it is currently unavoidable that some persons will live or shelter for survival outdoors unƟl they are able or willing to access affordable or free shelter or housing.

In Porterville, this has typically meant sheltering, someƟmes for extended periods of Ɵme, on City rights‐ of‐way and City property, on various private property without authorizaƟon, and at Ɵmes on other public agency property owned by other public agencies.

D. Public rights‐of‐way and public property are generally intended for public use and travel. The City Council is the authority for rights‐of‐way within the City; as such, the City must consider the safety of motorists and pedestrians travelling on roadways and sidewalks, including to and from neighboring properƟes, businesses, and residences.

E. The City owns limited property where camping can or should be allowed for reasons including but not limited to public health and safety concerns and issues created by the impact of camping on public property.

F. The City has had increasing concerns regarding public health and safety due to instances of camping on or in rights‐of way and public property in or near waterways, streets, roads, sidewalks, schools, residences, businesses, criƟcal infrastructure, public access points and similar locaƟons. Public uƟlity properƟes (e.g., stormwater, water, sewer) are environmentally and operaƟonally sensiƟve and generally closed to the public or have limited access for safety, environmental and security reasons.

G. Over the long term and working with other governmental agencies and non‐profit organizaƟons, the City’s belief is that people should not have to live outside and there are safer opƟons.

H. It is the purpose and intent of the City Council to provide standards for camping and sheltering for survival on City rights‐of‐way and public property, which are intended to be as compaƟble as possible with the needs of everyone in Porterville to be healthy, safe, and have access to public places.

I. Smaller camp sites support both the health and safety of people who are camping for survival on public property as well as the health and safety of the public.

J. It is the purpose and intent of the City Council to provide standards for camping and sheltering for survival on City rights‐of‐way and public property which will address issues such as fire risk, unsanitary condiƟons, health risks, public infrastructure security, public access impediments, trash, waste, damage to park features and plants, and public safety hazards to both people camping as well as neighboring businesses, residents and community members, as well as environmental degradaƟon, which have occurred with longer‐term camping in the City.

6 K. It is the intent of the City to evaluate each removal of an Established Campsite with consideraƟons of public health and safety, including for the people who are sheltering in the camps, potenƟal user conflicts, and available resources. The City intends to use a team approach and coordinate with other governmental agencies and non‐profit organizaƟons as appropriate. When the City requires a person experiencing homelessness to remove an Established Campsite, through these regulaƟons, it intends to provide the person adequate Ɵme to remove the Established Campsite before the City removes the Established Campsite, to secure any personal property with reasonable uƟlity or reasonable value for the person to retrieve at a later date, and to clean the former Established Campsite to address threats to public health and safety.

OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR
Model Ordinance: Addressing Encampments with Urgency and Dignity After the Supreme Court’s decision in Grants Pass v. Johnson clarified that officials can take reasonable actions to clear encampments, the Governor signed Executive Order N-1-24, which directed state agencies to develop policies to prioritize addressing encampments on state property while providing reasonable advance notice and partnering with shelter and services providers.

That Executive Order also encouraged local governments to adopt similar policies, and to use all available resources and infrastructure, including the historic resources provided by the State, to take urgent action to humanely remove encampments from public spaces. And the Governor directed the California Interagency Council on Homelessness to create guidance, published here, for local governments to follow in creating and implementing those programs.

This model ordinance is intended to provide a starting point that jurisdictions may build from and adjust in creating their own policies. It draws from the state’s proven and workable approach — an approach that, between July 2021 and May 2025, has cleared more than 16,000 encampments and over 311,873 cubic yards of debris from sites along the state right of way. These results demonstrate that the policy is both effective and scalable, offering a sound, adoptable framework for jurisdictions to resolve encampments with urgency and dignity.

This model ordinance is not intended to be comprehensive or to impose a one-size-fits-all approach for every city. Tailoring is expected and appropriate to account for local differences and priorities. For example, a jurisdiction may choose to restrict camping at all times in certain sensitive locations, such as near schools; limit camping to no more than one night in the same location; or require a longer notice period before removal. While specific policies may vary, all local approaches should reflect three basic principles embodied in this model:
• No person should face criminal punishment for sleeping outside when they have nowhere else to go. Policies that prohibit individuals from sleeping outside anywhere in the jurisdiction without offering adequate indoor shelter, effectively banishing homeless individuals from the jurisdiction’s borders, are both inhumane and impose externalities on neighboring jurisdictions, which must face the costs and challenges of an increased unsheltered homeless population.
• Encampment policies must prioritize shelter and services and ensure that people experiencing homelessness and their belongings are treated with respect.
• Policies must not unduly limit local authority to clear encampments.

Officials must be able to enforce common-sense policies to protect the health and safety of their residents and maintain their public spaces.

When officials lack appropriate tools, encampments persist, endangering the health and safety of those living in and alongside them.

There is no compassion in abandoning Californians to the dangers and indignities of encampments. Encampments pose a serious public safety risk, often causing fires and exposing encampment residents to increased risk of sexual violence and criminal activity, to property damage and break-ins, and unsanitary conditions affecting both residents and neighbors. And they dampen and deter both commercial and recreational activity through the accumulation of hazardous material and excessive debris, harming downtowns and depriving Californians of their public spaces. Large encampments and those with semipermanent structures exacerbate and perpetuate these harms. Every local government must have a plan to address them.

Unless authorized by permit or other applicable law, it is unlawful:
(a)To construct, place, or maintain on public property any semi-permanent structure, including but not limited to hand-built sheds and structures with metal or other heavy roofing and siding materials, for the purpose of sheltering one or more persons.
(b)To camp on public property, including but not limited to using, placing or maintaining a tent, sleeping bag, blanket, or other materials for the purpose of sleeping, lying, or sheltering one or more persons for more than three consecutive days or nights in the same location. For purposes this section, the same location shall mean within 200 feet of the location in which the person camped on the previous day or night.
