Public Comment Period for LA County's Draft Community Wildfire Protection Ordinance
Published January 31, 2022, at 11:30 a.m.

The Community Wildfire Protection Ordinance (CWP), formerly known as the Reduce Damage From Wildfire Ordinance, amends the Los Angeles County Code Title 21 (Subdivisions Code) and Title 22 (Planning and Zoning Code) – Hillside Management Area Ordinance to address evacuation egress during wildfire events, to improve public safety, and to reduce risks to development located within a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone — that's us, Topanga.

The LA County Department of Planning is collecting public comments on a draft of the ordinance until February 20, 2023.

Then, the CWP Ordinance will be brought to the Regional Planning Commission (RPC) for public hearing on Wednesday, March 1, 2023. Please check the RPC Meeting Portal two weeks before the hearing to find a link to the virtual hearing and the associated project documentation. If the Regional Planning Commission recommends approval to the Board of Supervisors, then the CWP Ordinance will go before the Board for consideration at a future date.
