Amendment of County Fire Code Section 7.92.307.2

This regulatory action involves a ministerial amendment to Section 7.92.307.2 of the Santa Cruz County Code, specifically updating regulations regarding open burn season and the permits required to kindle fires. Managed by the Department of Community Development and Infrastructure, the project adopts updated State Fire Code provisions with local adjustments. The Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors approved the project, and it has been granted a categorical exemption from the California Environmental Quality Act under Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), as the amendment is considered a ministerial action with no significant environmental impact. The project is based in Santa Cruz County, California, with administrative oversight provided by Paola Echeverria. While listed as a forecast with a posted date of July 30, 2025, the related project completion and approval date was April 11, 2025. Because this is a regulatory code amendment rather than a procurement contract, there are no associated contract values, federal acquisition regulation clauses, or standard solicitation evaluation factors. The primary objective is the formal adoption and implementation of the revised fire code language.
