This area should contain mostly <br />noncombustible surfaces. Any planting in this area should be deciduous and well trimmed and <br />irrigated. Ground cover should be of flower beds and cut grass. <br />Zone 1-B—This area can have more landscaping and less man-made surfaces. Vegetation <br />should still be deciduous, and the native grasses should be trimmed to approximately 6 inches <br />tall. <br />Zone 1-C—This area is should change from introduced deciduous trees to the natural vegetation <br />found in the area, including evergreens. These trees should still be maintained far apart and <br />trimmed to 10' above the ground. <br />Zone 2—The landscape is entirely natural vegetation, but should still be intensely managed. <br />Trim and remove dead material from natural vegetation and the ground. All limbs must be <br />pruned to 10' of the ground, and trim the trees to a minimum of 10' between the crowns of the <br />trees. <br />Zone 3—Vegetation management is much less intense. Trees only need to be pruned to 4'-5' <br />above the ground. Dead material should be removed from natural vegetation and the ground. <br />7 <br />
