Map Alpine clearing limits before equipment enters
Alpine land clearing begins with the parcel, not a general instruction to clear around a structure. Mark property lines, easements, native vegetation, retained trees, utilities, access, and the exact disturbance area. County PDS-800 explains why clearing, grading, habitat conditions, and recorded open-space restrictions may follow different review paths.
Ask the responsible fire authority for address-specific direction, then translate it into a mapped scope. Keep brush treatment, individual-tree removal, stump work, grading, and debris handling separate. Fire direction doesn't authorize work beyond the property line or guarantee that every proposed clearing method is allowed.
What do Alpine homeowners ask about land clearing?
Is Alpine defensible-space work the same as clearing the parcel?
No. Defensible-space direction applies to a defined area and property situation. Whole-parcel clearing can raise separate County, habitat, grading, easement, and boundary questions.
Is Zone 0 already a universal vegetation-removal mandate?
No. The first five feet is described as the ember-resistant zone, but proposed Zone 0 language isn't a universal current mandate. Confirm the applicable requirements with the property's fire authority.
