The proposed code changes would apply Wildland-Urban Interface standards across incorporated Los Altos Hills, including certain new construction and additions, while generally exempting buildings constructed before July 1, 2008. The committee also recommended allowing specified trained Town representatives to activate the emergency plan and giving the Emergency Preparedness and Response Committee an advisory role in disaster planning.
