DESK ITEM
Meeting: March 4, 2025
Agenda Item #5
Subject
Setting a hearing date of June 17, 2025 to declare brush with potential fire hazard a public
nuisance and for objections to proposed removal through the Cupertino Brush
Abatement Program (Wildland‐Urban Interface Fire Area); and adopting a resolution

Recommended Action
Adopt Resolution No 25‐017 declaring properties as having potential fire hazards from
brush; and set a hearing date of June 17, 2025 to declare brush with potential fire hazard a
public nuisance and to hear objections to proposed removal
Background:
Previously, the purpose of Item 5 was to set a hearing date of June 17, 2025 to declare
brush with potential fire hazard a public nuisance and to hear objections to proposed
removal and to set a hearing date of June 17, 2025 to declare brush with potential fire
hazard a public nuisance and for objections to proposed removal. However, the Santa
Clara County Fire Department (SCCFD) has requested the Council to defer consideration
of this item. This deferral allows SCCFD additional time to work with other participating
jurisdictions to finalize processes and coordinate dates. Staff recommends tabling the
item to a date to be determined.
