Pacifica Municipal Code Art. 3 Fire Hazard Severity Zones

(a) The City of Pacifica hereby designates the Fire Hazard Severity Zones in the Local Responsibility Areas as recommended by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection pursuant to Government Code §51178 as set forth in the map approved by the City of Pacifica, hereby incorporated by reference, and entitled "City of Pacifica Fire Hazard Severity Zones."

(b) In the event that a single parcel has more than one fire hazard severity zone associated with such parcel on the City of Pacifica Fire Hazard Severity Zones, the higher fire hazard zone designation shall apply to the entire parcel. In order to effectively administer fire protection and to avoid inconsistent application of the fire hazard zone designations within the same property, it is necessary that when a parcel has more than one fire hazard severity zone designation on a single lot, the higher fire hazard severity zone designation applicable on that parcel shall be administered and enforced for the entire parcel.
