1. A reduction can be completed with a combination of trimming, cutting or removing flammable or potentially flammable weeds, grass, vines, brush and other combustible vegetation as close to the ground as is reasonably practicable given the nature of the terrain and the property, or by the application of an EPA-approved herbicide.

2. Any tax lot one-half acre (21,780 square feet) or less shall remove all flammable or potentially flammable weeds, grass, vines, brush, and other vegetation by trimming, cutting, removing, or by the application of an EPA-approved herbicide.

3. Any tax lot greater than one-half acre (21,780 square feet) shall establish and maintain a 20-foot fuel break along the entire perimeter of the property, including all rights-of-way or easements. The fuel breaks shall be located along the boundaries of the property; and also around any structures, power poles, vehicles, trees or other improvements on the property that would be vulnerable to a fire hazard created by flammable weeds, grass, vines, brush and other combustible vegetation.

4. The City may direct additional abatement for any situations not adequately covered by the fuel breaks described above.

5. Flammable vegetation located in the right-of-way or easement shall be the responsibility of the adjacent property owner and/or the person in charge of the property.

6. Accumulated waste vegetation shall be disposed of in a manner so as not to create a fire hazard or spread vegetation to other properties.
