Planning Commission — October 27, 2026
New fire hazard maps put parts of San Pablo east of I-80 in high and very high fire risk zones. The updated General Plan safety element adds wildfire protection policies, an evacuation study showing 70-140 minute evacuation times in a worst-case wildfire, and plans for resilience hubs and shared evacuation transportation.
