San Leandro sits in the flat East Bay lowlands with minimal wildfire risk. PRC 4291 defensible space applies only to hillside parcels near Lake Chabot Regional Park.
Most of San Leandro is classified as a Local Responsibility Area outside any Fire Hazard Severity Zone. California Public Resources Code 4291 (100-foot defensible space) applies only to the small number of parcels adjacent to the East Bay hills and Anthony Chabot Regional Park. Weed abatement under the Municipal Code still requires owners to remove dry grass and combustible vegetation that creates a nuisance. ACFD may issue abatement notices for overgrown lots citywide.
