Landscape Guidelines for Hillside Development

The urban-interface is where developed residential or commercial land is adjacent to undeveloped land. In Glendale, hazardous vegetation is one of the major contributors to urban-interface wildfires. Wildfire danger is greatest to hillside and canyon homes, but dry grass, weeds, shrubs and flammable landscaping can bring the fire right to your home, whether you live on a hillside or not. Fire prevention steps must be taken now to be effective. Please see the Vegetation Management Program (VMP) brochure and other attachments below for more information.

Glendale's High Fire Hazard Zones
 
The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CalFire) has developed recommendations related to urban development immediately adjacent to wildland, where the designated fire hazard level is based on the density of the surrounding vegetation. An ordinance was passed in Glendale on June 10 that adopts these recommendations and designates certain areas of the city as "very high fire safety hazard severity zones."
