Market Areas, as defined in the 2004 General Plan adopted by the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors in July 2004, has been used as a logical geographical grouping of areas with common transportation corridors as defined by the Department of Transportation. Within each Market Area there are Community Regions, Rural Centers, Rural Regions and CAR for that specific Market Area. The table on page 25 and 26 lists these Market Areas in alphabetical order and encompasses all of El Dorado County. The 17 CAR were identified in the Federal Register of August 17, 2001 entitled "Urban Wild Land Interface Communities within the Vicinity of Federal Lands that are at High Risk for Wildfire". In addition, Community Regions and Rural Centers that were included in the Land Use Map of the El Dorado County 2004 General Plan have been listed as communities for consideration by the EDCFSC in applying for CWPP or other fire safe project funding. Rural Regions consist of hundreds of developments and structures scattered throughout the rural areas of the county, e.g. individual homes, summer homes, resorts, recreation facilities, etc. The structures in the Rural Regions are referred to by the fire services as The "I Zone", an area between two incompatible fuels defined as the Interface, Intermix, or Intermingle. The CAR, Community Centers, Rural Centers were selected via a public process or were identified by the fire services as they fell within zones identified as being High or Very High Fire Hazard Severity. A new process is being developed to update the listing of CAR. The EDCFSC will also consider projects from other communities based upon community involvement and interagency collaborative efforts. The second section of this binder contains detailed maps of each Market Area.
