Can the CAL FIRE Directors recommendation be modified by the local agency?
A local agency may increase the area designated as Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone (VH FHSZ) following a finding supported by substantial evidence in the record that the requirements of Section 51182 are necessary for effective fire protection within the area. No provision is made in the Government Code for a local agency to reduce the area recommended for designation as a VH FHSZ.
