Chair Fletcher Responds to AG Fire Prevention Guidelines for Housing

“Attorney General Bonta’s guidance is a helpful tool for local lawmakers; it aligns with the preventative actions our Board of Supervisors have taken to mitigate wildfire risk. These actions include updating our CEQA guidelines to better incorporate wildfire impacts and emergency access, a comprehensive approach towards implementing Vehicle Miles Traveled to better cluster housing in infill areas, and stopping approvals of large-scale sprawl housing developments. He identifies important considerations all jurisdictions and developers should make to protect our environment and keep communities safe. I appreciate Attorney General Bonta’s leadership on the issue.”
