Subject:Subject: Request for Support Regarding CAL FIRE’s “Very High Fire Risk” Classification
study session 8a Oct 7, 2025
Dear Members of the San Luis Obispo City Council,
I’m writing to express concern about the recent reclassification of the Cerro area as “Very High Fire Risk.”
While we all value fire safety, this change poses a serious challenge for many longtime residents, who
could face rising insurance costs or expensive safety requirements.
Our neighborhood has consistently maintained defensible space and taken proactive measures to reduce
risk, and there have been no recent fire incidents near Cerro. I respectfully ask the Council to advocate for
assistance programs or relief options to help residents manage the financial impact of this new
designation.
Thank you for your attention and continued support of our community.
Sincerely,
Ginger and Richard Silva
