NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Board of Supervisors of the County of Lake, State of California, will hold a PUBLIC HEARING to consider an Ordinance to designate Fire Hazard Severity Zones (FHSZ) in the Local Responsibility Areas (LRA) in the Unincorporated Lands of Lake County.

This ordinance updates the map to incorporate climate data and reflect today’s fire conditions. The updated model will adjust fire intensity scores based on the most extreme fire weather at a given location considering temperature, humidity, and wind speed. All areas in the State Responsibility Area, including water bodies like Clear Lake, require a Fire Hazard Severity Zone designation. Each jurisdiction is required to adopt the draft maps via ordinance. Amendments can be made to the map to increase the severity levels, but not decrease them.

The public hearing will be held in the Board of Supervisors' Chamber in the Courthouse on TUESDAY, JUNE 3, 2025, at 11:15 A.M., at which time and place interested persons may attend and be heard. Copies of the proposed Ordinance are available at the Office of the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors.

If you challenge the action of the Board of Supervisors on any of the above stated items in court, it may be limited to only those issues raised at the public hearing described in this notice or in written correspondence delivered to the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors at, or prior to, the public hearing.

SUSAN PARKER
Clerk of the Board
