Cambria adopts updated fire and wildland‑urban interface codes
Summary
The board adopted Ordinance 01‑2026 and a companion resolution updating local adoption of the 2025 California Fire Code and the 2024 International Wildland‑Urban Interface Code, making local findings for code amendments to reflect community conditions.
The Cambria Community Services District Board adopted Ordinance 01‑2026 and a related resolution on Jan. 8 to amend the district municipal code and adopt the 2025 California Fire Code and the 2024 International Wildland‑Urban Interface Code with findings based on local conditions.
Fire Chief Berkey summarized the regular triennial code update and minor local changes. Director Gray moved adoption of the ordinance and the board unanimously approved both the ordinance and the findings resolution by roll call.
Why it matters: Updating the fire code aligns local regulations with current state and international standards and enables the district’s fire marshal and staff to enforce safety measures that reflect local wildfire risk and public‑safety needs.
Board action and vote: Director Gray moved to adopt Ordinance 01‑2026 (amending CCSD Municipal Code Chapter 6.04 to adopt updated fire and wildland‑urban interface codes) and waived further reading; the motion carried on a unanimous roll call. Director Gray then moved adoption of Resolution 01‑2026 making the local findings necessary to support the code amendments; Vice President Dean seconded and the board again voted unanimously.
The measures take effect as adopted; the board received no substantive public opposition at the hearing.
