WILDLAND URBAN INTERFACE APPROVED LIST

This approved plant list has been developed to serve as a tool to determine the placement of vegetation within the Wildland Urban Interface areas. The approved plant list has been compiled from several similar lists which pertain to the Bay Area and to the State of . This approved plant list is not intended to be used outside of the San Mateo County area. The “required distance” for each plant is how far the given plant is required to be from a structure. If a plant within the approved plant list is not provided with a “required distance”, the plant has been designated as a fire-resistant plant and may be placed anywhere within the defensible space area. The designation as a fire-resistant plant does not exempt the plant from other Municipal Codes. For example, as per Hillsborough Municipal Code, all crowns, including those that have been designated as fire resistant, are required to be 10 feet in distance from any structure. Fire resistant have specific qualities that help slow down the spread of fire, they include but are not limited to:

• tend to be supple, moist and easily crushed • Trees tend to be clean, not bushy, and have little deadwood • are low-growing (2’) with minimal dead material • Taller shrubs are clean, not bushy or twiggy • Sap is water-like and typically does not have a strong odor • Most fire-resistant trees are broad leafed (lose their leaves), but some thick- evergreens are also fire resistant.

The use of plants that are not found on this list must be provided with supplemental information regarding the fire-resistance of the plant in question. Supplemental information should include the average height, average width, resistances and other factors that may influence the fire-resistance of the plant. Remember that fire-resistant plants are not fire-proof, all plants will burn if exposed to enough heat.
