What is Loma Linda Public Notice?
The Loma Linda Public Notice is the City of Loma Linda's notice of Ordinance 785, which amends the Municipal Code to establish a Fire Hazard Severity Zones section in Chapter 32 of Title 15 (Building and Construction).
The notice opens with a title and summary. The summary explains that the ordinance implements the updated California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) Local Responsibility Area (LRA) maps for Loma Linda. The maps identify Moderate, High and Very High fire hazards based on vegetation, topography, weather, crown fire potential, and ember production and movement. State law requires local jurisdictions to adopt these maps by ordinance so that the related building standards and fire safety requirements apply in the identified zones.
The ordinance itself adopts the map entitled "City of Loma Linda Fire Hazard Severity Zones" as Exhibit A and adds Section 15.32.050 to the Municipal Code. Under that section, a parcel with more than one zone is administered under the highest zone for the entire parcel, no zone identified by the State Fire Marshal may be decreased, and earlier city ordinances designating zones are superseded. The City Manager or a designee enforces it.
The notice also gives the ordinance history (first reading on May 13, 2025, second reading and adoption on June 10, 2025) and the City Clerk's certification of posting. It is a summary notice, not the full ordinance text.
Who needs to file Loma Linda Public Notice?
The notice is informational, so nobody files it. It is aimed at people affected by fire hazard severity zone designations in the City of Loma Linda: owners of parcels in the city, residents, and anyone who needs to know which zone map the city adopted. It matters most to owners of a parcel that touches more than one zone, because the ordinance says the highest zone on that parcel is administered for the entire parcel.
The City Clerk of the City of Loma Linda certifies the notice. The San Bernardino County Assessor-Recorder-County Clerk posts it as a public notice in line with Government Code 51179(g). Enforcement of the ordinance belongs to the City Manager or a designee.
The notice does not say who may act for another person, and it contains no application or signature block for readers. For the complete legal text, use the full ordinance, which the City Clerk's Office provides.
When to file Loma Linda Public Notice
The notice follows the adoption of Ordinance 785: the City Council introduced it on May 13, 2025, read it a second time and adopted it on June 10, 2025, and the City Clerk dated the notice June 18, 2025. The ordinance says the City Clerk certifies the adoption and has it posted within fifteen (15) days of passage under Government Code Section 36933, and that it takes effect a minimum of thirty (30) days after passage.
The ordinance also records why the city acted: Government Code Section 51179(a) requires the city to designate the zones by ordinance within 120 days of receiving the State Fire Marshal's recommendations. There is no reader deadline; nothing in the notice asks you to respond or return it.

Common mistakes to avoid
- Treating the notice as a form to complete and return to the County; it is a posted notice of an adopted ordinance with no application attached.
- Assuming a parcel in two zones is treated under the lower one; the ordinance says the highest zone is administered for the entire parcel.
- Expecting a zone to be lowered; the ordinance states no zone identified by the State Fire Marshal may be decreased to a lesser one.
- Using the notice as the full law; it is a title, summary and certification, and the full ordinance text is at www.lomalinda-ca.gov and the City Clerk's Office.
- Assuming the ordinance took effect on the adoption date, June 10, 2025; it states it takes effect a minimum of thirty (30) days after passage.
- Relying on the map for parcel-level accuracy; the State and CAL FIRE make no representations or warranties about the accuracy of the data or maps.
- Reading the County posting as a property tax document; the notice covers fire hazard severity zones under Title 15 (Building and Construction).
