WHEATLAND — The Wheatland City Council on Feb. 24 introduced and waived first reading of an ordinance designating Fire Hazard Severity Zones within the city, according to the meeting minutes.
The public hearing on the ordinance ran from 6:05 p.m. to 6:09 p.m. and passed 5-0, the minutes show. The council agenda for the same meeting had identified the fire-hazard zoning ordinance as a scheduled public hearing item. Agenda
The minutes do not include the ordinance text, a map, or details on whether the city is adopting state-mapped zones wholesale or making local adjustments. They also do not describe any implementation timeline.
The Feb. 24 minutes also show the council took up other regular business, including a regional economic development update and a mid-year budget report, but the fire-hazard zones ordinance was the clear policy action tied to wildfire risk at that meeting. Minutes
