Ocean View Hills's own fire record
As a newer planned community, most Ocean View Hills homes were built under more recent wildfire building codes than the county's older neighborhoods. Zone Zero is a separate, additional requirement regardless of construction year, and the community's canyon-bordering streets are exactly the terrain type the rule targets.
