Zone 4 was created in 1957 to alleviate chronic flooding in Bel Aire and adjacent undeveloped lands. The boundaries of the zone were later amended to include Strawberry Circle.
Zone 4 is small, covering only 0.85 square miles and includes parts of the Town of Tiburon and Bel Aire and Strawberry Circle. There are 850 parcels in the Zone.
The boundaries of the Zone include the subwatersheds of East and West Creeks and Salt Works Canal, all of which drain to Richardson Bay.
Watershed
Zone 4 is located within the Richardson Bay watershed.

- Maintenance of 0.15 miles of flood protection levees

The Zone is overseen by a five-member Advisory Board.
