this is good stuff from mark and his firm, openscope studio
Our office wrote a rebuilding guide after the Dixie Fire wiped out towns in Plumas County. The local jurisdiction there allowed for express permitting of pre approved plans which is something LADBS and LA County are going to have to look at.
