A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF LOS ALTOS HILLS
REPEALING THE PREVIOUSLY ADOPTED WILDLAND-URBAN INTERFACE FIRE
AREA MAP
WHEREAS, in conformance with State Government Code Sections 51175 through 51189, the
Town of Los Altos Hills ("Town") adopted regulations governing lands within a Wildland-Urban
Interface fire area; and
WHEREAS, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) has not
identified or recommended that any area within the Town be designated as a "very high fire
hazard severity zone" and therefore none of the residences or areas of the Town are statutorily
required to be designated by the Town as within a fire hazard severity zone; and
WHEREAS, in 2011, the Town of Los Altos Hills adopted the current Wildland-Urban Interface
Fire Area map (WUI map) dated July 1, 2008; and
WHEREAS, because of the Town's unique climatic, topographic and geologic conditions, along
with existing regulations which require Class A fire resistant roofs and vegetation management
throughout the entire Town, the City Council desired to amend the adopted WUI map; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission considered the amendments to the WUI map, all public
comments received on the draft maps, and recommended that the City Council adopt an amended
draft of the 2016 WUI map; and
WHEREAS, in accordance with the provisions of law, a public hearing on the WUI map
amendments has been held; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the Town of Los Altos Hills finds that this project is exempt
from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"), pursuant to Section
15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, because it can be seen with certainty that there is no
possibility that an amended WUI map will have a significant effect on the environment.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the Town of Los Altos
Hills hereby repeals the previously adopted Wildland Urban Interface Fire Area Map dated July
1, 2008 and removes all properties within the Town Limits from the Wildland-Urban Interface
Fire Area, per Option 1 attached as Exhibit A.

Los Altos Hills at a regular meeting held on the 20th day of October, 2016 by the following vote:
