A primary goal of the CWPP was to reduce the risk of a wildland urban disaster within the Town of Vail. An essential element in achieving this goal is to prevent the ignition of structures. The most effective manner to achieve this goal is to require a non-combustible zone around all structures.
Since introduction at the March 15, 2022 meeting, Ordinance No. 2 has been modified to incorporate public and Town Council input.
