City schedules public forum and June hearing on local fire hazard severity zone maps
Summary
San Luis Obispo announced a public forum on May 22 and a council hearing June 3 to review proposed local fire hazard severity zone maps and next steps for home hardening and preparedness programs.
City Manager Whitney McDonald told the San Luis Obispo City Council on May 20 that the city will hold a wildfire preparedness community forum on May 22 and that council will review proposed local fire hazard severity zone maps at a June 3 meeting. McDonald said the May 22 forum — in the Library Community Room from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. — is an opportunity for residents to review the maps and ask questions about how zones were determined and what the maps mean for home hardening and long‑term preparedness.
McDonald said the maps are expected to be introduced for ordinance adoption at a later council meeting after the June 3 discussion. She emphasized the forum and hearing will include questions about implementation steps and potential community support programs. The city manager asked residents to attend and review materials available on the city website ahead of the June 3 public hearing.
No formal action was taken tonight; staff emphasized the forum and the June 3 hearing are the next steps in the map adoption process.
