While several areas of Santa Barbara County benefit from the preparation of Community Wildfire Protection Plans, there are several areas of the County that do not currently have a plan that covers them. These include: Lompoc Valley and Burton Mesa/ Mission Hills, Tepusquet Canyon, Santa Barbara Foothills (gap between existing CWPP and the City of SB CWPP), Santa Ynez Valley, and Miguelito Canyon.

Status: Unknown

Cost: High

Partners:

Permitting: A CWPP itself is a policy guidance document and does not trigger CEQA. Some projects proposed in the CWPP will trigger CEQA and will thus be required to assess any environmental impacts and will require coordination with CDFW/USFWS if listed species or ESH are present. Other permitting may be required, dependent on recommendations contained within the CWPP.

Funding Sources: Grants to be obtained through the FSC.

Additional Notes: Priority and funding for potential CWPP efforts are considered via the Fire Safe Council.
