Ordinance No. 787.11

Ordinance No. 787.11 is a legislative action by the County of Riverside to amend and replace Ordinance No. 787 in its entirety. The primary purpose of this ordinance is to adopt the 2025 California Fire Code and the California Wildland Urban-Interface Code as amended, ensuring full consistency with state law. This update incorporates existing state laws and allows for the imposition of more restrictive standards for permit applicants based on local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions. Additionally, the ordinance implements administrative and organizational changes intended to streamline processing and administration requirements within the unincorporated areas of Riverside County. The project is managed by the Riverside County Fire Department, with Kylie Tillema, Assistant Fire Marshal, serving as the primary point of contact. This action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Guidelines sections 15378 and 15061(b)(3) and Public Resources Code section 21080.49, as it involves the incorporation of state law and administrative activities that do not result in significant environmental impacts. Because this is a legislative ordinance rather than a procurement contract, there are no associated solicitation numbers, contract values, or federal acquisition regulation clauses.
