Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 3, March 1, 2024
The primary intent of the program is to incentivize fire hardening improvements in residential and commercial buildings, but accessory structures that are within 50 feet of a residential or commercial building can act as fuel for a wildfire thereby increasing the risk of damage to the nearby residential and commercial building. Therefore, fire hardening grants will be available to applicants for improvements made to accessory structures under the following conditions:
(1) The applicant is eligible for grant assistance for a residential or commercial building on the same parcel.
(2) The applicant has added both of the following fire hardening improvements to one or more accessory structure(s):
(3) The accessory structure that is being improved is within 50 feet of any residential or commercial building. For this condition, the residential or commercial building that is within 50 feet of the accessory structure is not required to be the same residential or commercial building that the applicant has already qualified for grant assistance.
