Fire-hazard designation & local ordinance

FHSZ: named on the LAFD list

Brentwood is named on the LAFD Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone list. LAFD describes the zone as covering "most of the hilly and mountainous regions": https://lafd.org/fire-prevention/brush/fire-zone/fire-zone-history. The precise boundary between hillside and flatland Brentwood has not been confirmed at parcel level in our research.

SRA/LRA: LRA (City of Los Angeles).

Map-vintage caveat

LAMC §57.4911.1.1 still defines the Very High FHSZ by the 2011 map (Ordinance 181,719); no ordinance adopting the March 2025 state-recommended maps has been found for the City of LA. LADBS's 2026 plan-check materials reference "local and State maps." Both facts are presented with their dates rather than implying one map cleanly governs.

Local Zone 0 ordinance

None identified for the City of LA specifically; the statewide rule’s final draft is approved pending OAL; see our statewide Zone 0 explainer.
