Staff raises choice of wildfire‑risk map for WUI code; most peers favor alternate map
Summary
Staff presented a draft Wildland‑Urban Interface ordinance and said there is a question about which risk map to adopt; staff has contacted colleagues and reported that most nearby communities are adopting an alternate map provided by Brianne Liston rather than the version currently on the state site.
Staff reviewed an updated WUI ordinance and said the key open question is which wildfire‑risk map the city should use. "I have reached out to both Thomas and Brianne Liston on which map they would prefer," Shay said, adding that Brianne had just emailed a clarification question before the meeting and staff will report back once the preferred map is confirmed.
Shay told the council most peer communities are adopting the alternate map distributed by Brianne Liston rather than the map currently posted on the state site. She recommended the council consider the alternate map used by other municipalities and said she will circulate a comparison and recommended language once she receives Brianne's clarification.
