Policy 3.2: Ensure that all new development meets established response time standards for fire and life safety services and that all new development in State Responsibility Areas or Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones requires fuel modification around homes and subdivisions.
Policy 3.3: Avoid expanding new residential development, essential public facilities, and critical infrastructure in areas subject to extreme threat or high risk, such as High or Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones, or areas classified by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection as having an Extreme Threat classification on Fire Threat Maps unless all feasible risk reduction measures have been incorporated into project designs or conditions of approval.
Policy 3.4: Prohibit land uses that could exacerbate the risk of ignitions in High or Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones, such as outdoor storage of hazardous or highly flammable materials, automobile service or gas stations, or temporary fireworks sales.
Policy 3.5: Prohibit land uses that could place occupants at unreasonable risk in High or Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones, such as areas with large events or assembly of people and healthcare facilities.
Policy 3.6: Encourage the use of conservation easements or establish a Transfer of Development Rights Program in undeveloped wildland areas within High or Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones.
Policy 3.7: Require the installation of fire hydrants and establishment of emergency vehicle access, notably before construction with combustible materials can begin on an approved project.
Policy 3.8: Require emergency access routes in developments to be adequately wide to allow the entry and maneuvering of emergency vehicles to ensure that new development has adequate fire protection.
Development of facilities in high, very high, and extreme fire threat areas are subject to wildfire hazards due to slope and prevailing winds based on location, which would consequently result in higher fire-related risks to people and structures. Through the City’s environmental review process, future development projects associated with the Safety-EJ Element would be required to abide by the 2022 (or most current) California Fire Code and the CBC, which contains measures to reduce fire hazards in structures, including the use of materials, fire separation walls, building separation, and fire sprinklers. In addition to existing policies addressing wildfire in the Santee General Plan Safety Element, the Safety-EJ Element would build upon these policies and include several new policies intended to reduce the exposure of people and the environment to wildland fire risks:
Policy 3.1: Mandate that a proposed development in SRA or Vey High Fire Hazard Severity Zone be approved only after it is determined that a Fire Protection Plan is in place that includes measures to avoid or minimize fire hazards, such as adequate water pressure to maintain the required fire flow at the time of development.
Policy 3.2: Ensure that all new development meets established response time standards for fire and life safety services and that all new development in State Responsibility Areas or Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones requires fuel modification around homes and subdivisions.
Policy 3.3: Avoid expanding new residential development, essential public facilities, and critical infrastructure in areas subject to extreme threat or high risk, such as High or Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones, or areas classified by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection as having an Extreme Threat classification on Fire Threat Maps unless all feasible risk reduction measures have been incorporated into project designs or conditions of approval.
Policy 3.4: Prohibit land uses that could exacerbate the risk of ignitions in High or Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones, such as outdoor storage of hazardous or highly flammable materials, automobile service or gas stations, or temporary fireworks sales.
Policy 3.5: Prohibit land uses that could place occupants at unreasonable risk in High or Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones, such as areas with large events or assembly of people and healthcare facilities.
Policy 3.6: Encourage the use of conservation easements or establish a Transfer of Development Rights Program in undeveloped wildland areas within High or Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones.
Policy 3.7: Require the installation of fire hydrants and establishment of emergency vehicle access, notably before construction with combustible materials can begin on an approved project.
Policy 3.8: Require emergency access routes in developments to be adequately wide to allow the entry and maneuvering of emergency vehicles to ensure that new development has adequate fire protection.

Policy 3.9: Mandate that proposed development satisfy the minimum structural fire protection standards in the adopted edition of the Uniform Fire and Building Codes; however, where deemed appropriate, the City of Santee shall enhance the minimum standards to provide optimum protection.
Policy 3.10: Increase resilience of existing development in high-risk areas built prior to modern fire safety codes or wildfire hazard mitigation guidance.
Policy 3.11: Mandate that public and private landowners for all existing land uses comply with all applicable state and local requirements and implement site-specific safety measures that mitigate to a low-risk condition around or near public facilities, infrastructure, and natural resources.
Policy 3.12: Provide information regarding defensible space and building retrofits to achieve a lowrisk condition.
Policy 3.13: Require public and private landowners to minimize the risk of wildfire moving from wildland areas to developed properties or from property to property by increasing structural hardening measures (e.g., fire-rated roofing and fire-resistant construction materials and techniques), maintaining and improving defensible space on site, and supporting vegetation management in adjacent undeveloped areas.
Policy 3.14: Require structures with fire protection sprinkler systems to provide for outside alarm notification.
Policy 3.15: Mitigate existing non-conforming development to contemporary fire safe standards (e.g., road standards, vegetative hazards). Support state legislation that would provide tax incentives to encourage the repair or demolition of structures that could be considered fire hazards.
Policy 3.16: Prioritize infill development within the existing developed footprint to reduce vehicle miles traveled; improve access to jobs, services, and education; increase active transportation choices; avoid future unfunded infrastructure repair and maintenance liabilities; and avoid hazardous or environmentally sensitive open space areas.
Policy 3.17: Ensure that all infill development projects within State Responsibility Areas or Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones are required to comply with applicable state or local fire safety and defensible space regulations or standards and any applicable fire protection or risk reduction measures identified in locally adopted plans.
Policy 3.18: Ensure that discretionary infill projects may be required to prepare a project-specific fire hazard and risk assessment and incorporate project-specific risk reduction measures, subject to the determination and approval of the Fire Marshal.
Policy 3.19: Support the continuation of long-term maintenance of fire hazard reduction projects, such as a weed abatement program (existing), community fire breaks, and private and public road clearance.

Policy 3.21: Encourage and support the delivery of a high level of emergency services through cooperation with other agencies and use of available financial opportunities.
Policy 3.22: Encourage the continued development, implementation, and public awareness of fire prevention programs.
Policy 3.23: The Santee Fire Department shall continue be involved in the review of development applications to minimize fire hazards. Considerations shall be given to adequate emergency access, driveway widths, turning radii, fire hydrant locations, and needed fire flow requirements.
Policy 3.24: Ensure that the timing of additional fire station construction or renovation (or new services) relates to the rise of service demand in Santee and surrounding areas. Evaluate redevelopment after a large fire.
Policy 3.25: Support mutual aid agreements and communications links with the County of San Diego and the other municipalities participating in the Unified San Diego County Emergency Service Organization.
Compliance with existing regulations and proposed Safety-EJ Element policies would ensure that impacts related to wildfire risk are below significant.
