Cambria board adopts updated state fire and wildland‑urban interface codes
Summary
The board adopted Ordinance 01‑2026 and an accompanying resolution to amend CCSD Municipal Code to adopt the 2025 California Fire Code and 2024 International Wildland‑Urban Interface Code and made local findings supporting amendments; the action passed by unanimous roll call.
At a Jan. 8 public hearing the Cambria Community Services District board adopted Ordinance 01‑2026 to amend chapter 6.04 of the district municipal code and to adopt the 2025 California Fire Code and the 2024 International Wildland‑Urban Interface Code. The board also adopted Resolution 01‑2026 making findings to support local fire‑code amendments.
Fire Chief Berkey described the adoption as standard triannual code maintenance to align local regulations with updated statewide and national codes and to reflect local conditions. Director Gray noted a minor demographic edit in the exhibit (population figure) but supported adoption; no substantive public opposition was recorded during the hearing.
Motion and vote: Director Gray moved to adopt the ordinance and waive further reading; the board approved the ordinance and then approved the accompanying resolution by roll call vote (all Aye).
Why it matters: Adopting updated fire and wildland‑urban interface standards aligns district requirements with current safety, building and vegetation management practices and supports local wildfire risk mitigation and inspection authorities.
Next steps: Staff will update municipal code references and public materials to reflect the adopted codes and provide any guidance needed for enforcement and implementation.
