Wildfire Hazard Zones

(1)

For the convenience of administration, when practical, a jurisdiction may utilize nearby natural geographic features or land features to delineate the boundaries of Wildfire Hazard Zones.

(2)

It is not the intent of OAR 629, division 044 that Wildfire Hazard Zones be determined on a tax lot or an ownership specific basis, but rather that a landscape approach be used.

(3)

To determine the existence of Wildfire Hazard Zones, a jurisdiction shall:

(a)

Determine, for each hazard factor, the appropriate geographic areas and associated hazard values; then

(b)

Overlay the geographic areas and associated hazard values determined in subsection (3)(a) above, then determine the resulting composite geographic areas and the associated hazard rating for each composite area.

(c)

For each composite geographic area determined in subsection (3)(b) above, determine whether a Wildfire Hazard Zone is present from Table 5.
TABLE 5
