Santa Rosa officials propose changes to WUI mapping after Cal Fire updates; staff caution on insurance implications
Summary
City staff proposed changes to Santa Rosa's wildland-urban interface boundaries at a subcommittee meeting, saying the redraws are informed by Cal Fire state-responsibility-area maps and local deployment and risk modeling.
City staff presented proposed redraws to Santa Rosa's wildland-urban interface (WUI) mapping at the Public Safety Subcommittee, saying updates follow Cal Fire state-responsibility-area (SRA) map releases and new modeling.
Fire Marshal Paul Oentall (as introduced in the presentation) summarized the Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) history and said the CWPP analysis of Coffey Park previously did not justify adding that neighborhood to the local WUI. He said the department has monitored Cal Fire's SRA updates that began in December 2022 and released further mapping to jurisdictions in early 2025.
