Agenda Item # 3.B.4.
Council Agenda Report
To: Mayor Uhring and the Honorable Members of the City Council Prepared by: Steve McClary, City Manager
Kelsey Pettijohn, City Clerk
Trevor Rusin, Interim City Attorney
Date prepared: September 27, 2023 Meeting date: October 9, 2023 Subject: Findings to Hold Virtual City Council, Commission, Committee, Board and Other City Bodies, Meetings Under AB 361
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Consider a motion to reaffirm Resolution No. 23-14, reauthorizing remote teleconferencing/virtual meetings pursuant to AB 361.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended action.
WORK PLAN: This item was not included in the Adopted Work Plan for Fiscal Year 2021-2022.
DISCUSSION: On March 17, 2020, in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, Governor Gavin Newsom issued Executive Order N-29-20 suspending certain provisions of the Ralph M. Brown Act in order to allow for local legislative bodies to conduct their meetings completely telephonically or by other electronic means, including allowing councilmembers to not have to post an agenda at their teleconference location, not have to identify their location on the meeting agenda, not have to ensure public accessibility at the teleconference location, and the legislative body did not need a quorum in the jurisdiction. The suspension of certain provisions of the Brown Act was further extended by the Governor on June 11, 2021 by the issuance of Executive Order N-08-21, which continued to allow for complete virtual meetings until September 30, 2021.
On September 16, 2021, the Governor signed AB 361, which allows legislative bodies to meet virtually provided there is a state of emergency declared by the Governor, and either (1) state or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing; or (2) the legislative body determines by majority vote that meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health and safety of attendees. Although the states COVID-19 state of emergency ended on February 28, 2023, AB 361 will remain in City Council
Meeting 10-09-23
Item
3.B.4.
Agenda Item # 3.B.4.
effect until January 1, 2024. As noted above, AB 361 authorizes public meetings to be held virtually if specified conditions are met. These conditions include when state or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing.
Research by staff indicates that officials continue to recommend social distancing.
Specifically, California Division of Occupational Safety and Health (“Cal/OSHA”) regulations—at Title 8 Section 3205—recommend physical distancing in the workplace as precautions against the spread of COVID-19 and impose certain restrictions and requirements due to a “close contact” which occurs when individuals are within six feet of another in certain circumstances. Relatedly, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention continue to recommend avoiding contact and keeping a safe distance from a person who has a suspected or confirmed case of COVID-19.
In order to continue to qualify for the waiver of in-person meeting requirements under AB 361, the Council must, every 30 days, make the required findings. Thus, this item will continue to appear on the agenda to satisfy this requirement during the duration the City Council can make the required findings.
ATTACHMENTS:

RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt Resolution No. 23-47 authorizing the submittal of application for the California State Department of Recycling and Resources Recovery (CalRecycle) Grant Programs and related authorizations.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended action.
The City will be eligible to receive a base grant award for outreach assistance of $75,000 with probable additional funds based on per capita calculations.

DISCUSSION: CalRecycle administers a non-competitive grant program to local jurisdictions to assist with the implementation of regulation requirements and programs associated with Senate Bill (SB) 1383 Organics Recycling. In 2022, the City was awarded a one-time grant of $20,000 to assist education and outreach efforts including capacity planning, collection, edible food recovery, enforcement and inspection, program evaluation/gap analysis, procurement requirements and record keeping.
The City currently utilizes SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant Program funding to host organics recycling trainings and kitchen collection bin giveaway, support local food recovery organizations, and supplement administrative duties such as inspections, enforcement, reporting, and record keeping.

Council Agenda Report
To: Mayor Uhring and the Honorable Members of the City Council Prepared by: Richard Mollica, Planning Director
Reviewed by: Patricia Salazar, Development and Operations Manager Approved by: Steve McClary, City Manager
Date prepared: September 21, 2023 Meeting date: October 9, 2023 Subject: Amendments to Agreements for Planning Contract Services RECOMMENDED ACTION: 1) Authorize the Mayor to execute Amendment No. 1 to Agreement with Joyce Parker-Bozylinski for planning contract services to allow for a one-year extension of the current existing agreement through December 13, 2024, and to update the rates for professional services as well as the total compensation; and 2) Authorize the Mayor to execute Amendment No. 1 to Agreement with JLee Engineering Inc. for planning contract services to allow for a one-year extension of the current existing agreement through October 11, 2024 and the total compensation.
FISCAL IMPACT: No additional appropriation is required. Funding for these agreements is included in the Adopted Budget for Fiscal Year (FY) 2023-24 in Account No. 101- 2001-5100.00 (Planning - Professional Services). Since staff is proposing that the terms of the agreements extend into FY 2024-25, staff will budget funds for these agreements into the Proposed FY 2024-25 Budget.
WORKPLAN: Contract planners support numerous Work Plan items included in the Adopted Work Plan for FY 2022-23 such as Community Rebuilding, Accessory Dwelling Unit Ordinance, and various inter-agency projects. Staff continue to work on ongoing projects and normal business while the FY 2023-24 Work Plan is finalized.
DISCUSSION: The Planning Department utilizes contract planners to augment staffing levels to aid in the processing of current planning development applications and longrange planning efforts. In 2021, as a result of a Request for Proposal (RFP) process for planning contract services, the City entered into agreements with Joyce ParkerCity Council Meeting 10-09-23
Item
3.B.8.
Agenda Item # 3.B.8.
Bozylinski and JLee Engineering, Inc. The agreements are set to expire in the near future.
Typically, the Planning Department issues an RFP for planning contract services every two years. However, in addition to the RFP issued in 2021, the City issued another RFP in 2023 to expand the pool of contract planners to assist with the backlog of planning applications. In order to streamline the RFP process, the City will not issue another RFP for planning contract services until Fall 2024. As such, given that the agreements will expire before the issuance of an RFP, staff recommends the City amend the consultants' agreements by one year to maintain services until the RFP is issued and agreements are awarded.
In addition to extending the term of the agreement, Joyce Parker-Bozylinski is requesting that her hourly rate be updated from $150 to $185 to align with industry standards, and staff recommends increasing the total agreement not-to-exceed from $120,000 to $200,000. Ms. Parker-Bozylinski provides services on a part-time basis and assists staff with long-range planning projects such as the Housing Element and the Accessory Dwelling Unit Ordinance.
For JLee Engineering, in addition to extending the term of the agreement, staff is recommending increasing the total agreement not-to-exceed from $360,000 to $540,000 for JLee Engineering, Inc. Currently, JLee Engineering provides one-full time contract position to process online requests to submit new and revised planning applications as well as substantial conformance submittals. In the last year, over 2,000 requests have been processed by this contract position. Due to the numerous vacancies in the Department, this position is still required to maintain services until staff can absorb the workload.
At this time, staff is requesting the Council amend the agreements to maintain continuity of services and staff will continue to evaluate staffing levels to assess the need for planning contract consultants.

On September 27, 2022, the City Council also adopted Ordinance No. 501 approving LCPA No. 21-002, ZTA No. 22-002, and ZMA No. 22-001 to: A) add Section 3.4.6 to LCP Local Implementation Plan (LIP) Section 3.4 to incorporate the MMHS Campus Specific Plan into the LIP; B) exempt MMHS from the prohibition of electronic message center signs required by LIP Section 3.15.3; C) amend Malibu Municipal Code (MMC) Section
17.42.020 to add Subsection “M.” to incorporate the MMHS Campus Specific Plan into the MMC consistent with the proposed LCPA language; D) exempt MMHS from the prohibition of electrical message center signs required by MMC Section 17.52.040; E) amend LCP Zoning Map No. 2 to add a boundary line around the MMHS Campus Specific Plan Area, denoting the boundaries of the MMHS Campus Specific Plan area for three parcels (APNs 4469-017-900, 4469-018-903, and 4469-018-904) located at 30215 Morning View Drive; F) add MMHS Campus Specific Plan ESHA Restoration Map Nos. 1, 2, and 3 to the LIP; G) add the proposed site plan for the MMHS Campus Specific Plan to the LIP; and H) amend the MMC Zoning Map consistent with the update to LCP Zoning Map No. 2 located at 30215 Morning View Drive (SMMUSD).
For reference, a summary of the MMHS Campus Specific Plan is provided as Attachment 3 including maps depicting the site’s vicinity, development phasing, and APNs included in the MMHS Campus Specific Plan.
DISCUSSION: On September 8, 2023, the CCC conducted a public hearing on LCPA No. 21-001 and declined to approve the LCPA as approved and submitted by the City. The CCC asserted several reasons for its decision including that the proposed LCPA was “written too broadly in the types of development uses that would be allowed within the ESHA buffer, did not include specific provisions requiring ESHA impacts from development with a reduced ESHA buffer to be fully mitigated, and did not require development standards for pool lighting to ensure pool lighting is minimized and directed away from ESHA.” Further, the CCC found that the ESHA Restoration Plan did not include implementing language or requirements for why, when, and how the onsite riparian habitat restoration plan must be implemented. However, in order to ensure consistency with the
Agenda Item # 4.A.
LCP, further the intent and implementation of the LCP, and avoid ambiguity, the CCC conditionally approved the LCPA on September 8, 2023, subject to twelve suggested modifications to LUP and LIP text, figures, and maps. For reference, staff has included a redlined version of the LUP and LIP text as modified by the CCC in Attachment 4, with corollary modifications made to the ZTA text in Attachment 5.
Because the LCPA was modified by the CCC, the LCPA must come back to the Council for consideration. The Council has until March 8, 2024, six months following CCC’s action, to either accept the modified LCPA or withdraw the LCPA. If the Council does not act within six months, the LCPA would not become effective.
If the Council accepts the modified LCPA, the Council will need to adopt a resolution (Attachment 1) and ordinance (Attachment 2). The resolution would amend LUP, the MMHS Campus Specific Plan, and the General Plan land use map pursuant to the CCC’s suggested modifications. The ordinance would amend LIP and MMC text and maps pursuant to the CCC’s suggested modifications. If adopted, the resolution and ordinance would be transmitted to the CCC Executive Director for a final determination that the Council’s acceptance is consistent with the CCC’s action in September 2023. The modified LCPA would only become final when the CCC Executive Director reports its determination to the CCC at its next regularly scheduled meeting after receipt of the City’s resolution and ordinance. Once reported, the LCPA becomes effective and is part of the City’s LCP and the corollary amendments to the General Plan and MMC would then be in effect.
The CCC’s approval of the amendment included twelve suggested modifications as summarized below (Attachment 6):
Suggested Modification 1: Provides minor clarifying edits to LUP Policies 3.23 and 3.25.
Suggested Modification 2: Modifies the proposed language for LUP Policies 3.24 and 3.37 to limit the types of development to only those that are a part of a project proposed under the MMHS Campus Specific Plan and adds clarifying language that these types of development are only allowed “where fully mitigated in the form of riparian habitat restoration so it does not significantly disrupt the ESHA habitat values.” Suggested Modification 3: Deletes a proposed statement in LUP Policy 6.7 regarding building heights to avoid ambiguity.
Suggested Modification 4: Provides various revisions to the proposed MMHS Campus Specific Plan text in LIP Section 3.4.6 including re-titling the section as MMHS Campus Specific Plan Overlay District and revisions to the section Introduction and Development Standards (height, yards/setbacks, site-specific development criteria, and wayfinding and informational signage). The CCC found the suggested modifications as being necessary
Agenda Item # 4.A.
clarifications to LIP text in order to further the intent and implementation of the LCP, ensure internal consistency, and avoid ambiguity.
Suggested Modification 5: Adds a new development standards section under the proposed Overlay District (LIP Section 3.4.6(A)(5)) to incorporate provisions to ensure that the pool lighting shall be minimized, directed downward and away from ESHA, and shielded using the best available visor technology and pole height and design that minimizes light spill, sky glow, and glare impacts to public views and wildlife to the maximum extent feasible.
Suggested Modification 6: Adds a new development standards section under the proposed Overlay District (LIP Section 3.4.6(A)(6)) to incorporate total maximum grading amounts that can be allowed for each of the four phases of the campus redevelopment project.
These amounts are listed in table format.
Suggested Modification 7: Modifies the proposed language for LIP Section 3.4.6(A)(7) (Permitted Uses in ESHA Buffer) to limit the types of development to only those that are a part of a project proposed under the Overlay District and adds clarifying language that these types of development are only allowed “where fully mitigated in the form of riparian habitat restoration so it does not significantly disrupt the ESHA habitat values.” Suggested Modification 8: Adds language to LIP Section 3.4.6(A)(8) clarifying that that the proposed restoration plan is mitigation for allowing new development within the existing developed portions of the MMHS campus, may have a reduced buffer of less than 100 feet from the creek, and the applicant would be required to mitigate the adverse impacts of reduced ESHA buffers by providing mitigation for all ESHA that will not have a 100-foot buffer from development. The suggested modification also includes language requiring the restoration work to occur before or concurrently with the construction of the redevelopment project and requires maintenance and monitoring of the restoration for five years to ensure the proposed LIP Section 3.4.6(7) conforms to the mitigation requirements and provisions of LIP Section 4.8 (Mitigation).
Suggested Modification 9: Includes minor modifications to proposed language in LIP Sections 3.15.3(J) – Prohibited Signs, 4.5.4 – ESHA Buffers, and 4.6.1(1) – Stream/Riparian Buffers to ensure consistency with the LCP and avoid ambiguity.
Suggested Modification 10: Deletes the proposed delineation of the Specific Plan boundary on LIP Zoning Map No. 2 in order to facilitate the creation of a separate Overlay District map per Suggested Modification No. 11. As such, the CCC clarified that the underlying Institutional zoning and land use designation shall remain.
Suggested Modification 11: Creates an Overlay District map in the LIP that is applied to the MMHS Campus Specific Plan parcels identified as APNs 4469-017-900, 4469-018- 903, and 4469-018-904.
Agenda Item # 4.A.
Suggested Modification 12: Minor edit to the title of the MMHS ESHA Restoration Maps to reflect the Overlay District.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: The City has analyzed the amended LCPA and corollary amendments to the MMHS Campus Specific Plan, GPMA, ZTA, and ZMA herein proposed by the California Coastal Commission and finds that pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21080.9, CEQA does not apply to activities and approvals by the City as necessary for the preparation and adoption of an LCPA. This action is for an amendment to the LCP and corollary amendments to the MMHS Campus Specific Plan, GPMA, ZTA, and ZMA, wherein the updated LCPA must be certified by the CCC before it takes effect.
On September 8, 2023, the CCC took action to conditionally certify the City’s LCPA, with amendments to the LUP as previously adopted by Resolution No. 22-33 and the LIP as previously adopted by Ordinance No. 501 (CCC File Reference LCPA No. LCP-4-MAL22-0043-1). The City has analyzed the amendments and finds that the activities and approvals are necessary by the City for the adoption of the LCPA in order to obtain final certification of the LCPA by the CCC.
Further, the proposed City Council actions, including without limitation, direction to prepare an amended resolution and ordinance were adequately covered in a Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) adopted by the Santa Monica-Malibu School District (SMMUSD or District) Board of Education (Board) acting as lead agency on January 26, 2022, (State Clearinghouse No. 202008350). Previously, on September 19, 2019, the City accepted the District as the lead agency pursuant to CEQA Guidelines §15051 for the project and the City confirmed its role as a responsible agency. The proposed City Council actions are not a separate “project” for CEQA purposes but rather a subsequent discretionary action related to a previously approved project (CEQA Guidelines § 15378(c)). Additionally, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15163, and based on the review of the entire record, including without limitation, the Final EIR, the City finds that the proposed actions do not require further environmental review as: 1) no substantial changes are proposed to the project and no substantial changes have occurred that require major revisions to the FEIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or an increase in severity of previously identified significant effects; and 2) no new information of substantial importance has come to light that (a) shows the project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the FEIR, (b) identifies significant impacts would not be more severe than those analyzed in the FEIR, (c) shows that mitigation measures or alternatives are now feasible that were identified as infeasible and those mitigation measures or alternatives would reduce significant impacts, and (d) no changes to mitigation measures or alternatives have been identified or are required. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines §15162(b), the City finds and recommends that no further analysis or environmental documentation is necessary. Accordingly, the proposed City Council actions are merely a step-in furtherance of the original project for which environmental

The City Council of the City of Malibu does ordain as follows:
SECTION 1. Findings.
A. On September 27, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 22-33 approving the Malibu Middle and High School (MMHS) Campus Specific Plan, Local Coastal Program Amendment (LCPA) No. 21-002, and General Plan Map Amendment (GPMA) No. 21-002 to: A) to amend the Local Coastal Program (LCP) Land Use Plan (LUP) to add a new Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Area (ESHA) Policy 3.24; and B) to amend the City of Malibu General Plan Land Use Map to review the land use designation for three parcels identified as Assessor Parcel Numbers (APNs) 4469-017-900, 4469-018-903, and 4469-018-904 located at 30215 Morning View Drive (Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District [SMMUSD]).
B. On September 8, 2023, the California Coastal Commission (CCC) took action to conditionally certify the City’s LCPA for Resolution No. 22-33 with amendments (CCC File Reference LCPA No. LCP-4-MAL-22-0043-1).
C. On September 14, 2023, a Notice of City Council Public Hearing was published in a newspaper of general circulation within the City of Malibu indicating that the City Council would a hold public hearing on October 9, 2023 to consider the proposed Resolution amending the MMHS Campus Specific Plan, LCPA No. 21-002 (Exhibit B of Resolution No. 22-33), and GPMA No. 21-002 (Exhibit C of Resolution No. 22-33) as adopted by Resolution No. 22-33 on September 27, 2022, pursuant to the conditional certification action taken by the CCC on September 8, 2023 in order to obtain final certification of LCPA No. 21-002.
D. On October 9, 2023, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing on the proposed Resolution amending the MMHS Campus Specific Plan, LCPA No. 21-002 (Exhibit B Resolution No. 23-48
__________________
of Resolution No. 22-33, and GPMA No. 21-002 (Exhibit C of Resolution No. 22-33) as adopted by Resolution No. 22-33 on September 27, 2022, reviewed and considered written reports, public testimony, and related information.
SECTION 2. Environmental Review.
The City Council has analyzed the amended LCPA and corollary amendments to the MMHS Campus Specific Plan and GPMA herein proposed by the California Coastal Commission and makes the following findings. Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21080.9, the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) does not apply to activities and approvals by the City as necessary for the preparation and adoption of an LCPA. This action is for an amendment to the LCP and corollary amendments to the MMHS Campus Specific Plan and GPMA, wherein the updated LCPA must be certified by the CCC before it takes effect. On September 8, 2023, the CCC took action to conditionally certify the City’s LCPA, with amendments to the LUP as previously adopted by Resolution No. 22-33 (CCC File Reference LCPA No. LCP-4-MAL-22- 0043-1). The City Council has analyzed the amendments and finds that the activities and approvals are necessary by the City for the adoption of the LCPA in order to obtain final certification of the LCPA by the CCC.
Further, the proposed City Council actions, including without limitation, direction to prepare an amended ordinance was adequately covered in a Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) adopted by the Santa Monica-Malibu School District (SMMUSD or District) Board of Education (Board) acting as lead agency on January 26, 2022 (State Clearinghouse No. 202008350). Previously, on September 19, 2019, the City accepted the District as the lead agency pursuant to CEQA Guidelines §15051 for the project and the City confirmed its role as a responsible agency. The proposed City Council actions are not a separate “project” for CEQA purposes but rather a subsequent discretionary action related to a previously approved project (CEQA Guidelines § 15378(c)). Additionally, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15163, and based on the review of the entire record, including without limitation, the Final EIR, the City Council finds that the proposed actions do not require further environmental review as:
1) no substantial changes are proposed to the project and no substantial changes have occurred that require major revisions to the FEIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or an increase in severity of previously identified significant effects; and 2) no new information of substantial importance has come to light that (a) shows the project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the FEIR, (b) identifies significant impacts would not be more severe than those analyzed in the FEIR, (c) shows that mitigation measures or alternatives are now feasible that were identified as infeasible and those mitigation measures or alternatives would reduce significant impacts, and (d) no changes to mitigation measures or alternatives have been identified or are required. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines §15162(b), the City Council finds and recommends that no further analysis or environmental documentation is necessary.
Accordingly, the proposed City Council actions are merely a step-in furtherance of the original project for which environmental review was performed and no supplemental or subsequent CEQA has been triggered, and no further environmental review is required.
Resolution No. 23-48

D. That LUP Policy 3.27 be amended as recommended by the CCC, which was not originally included in Exhibit B of Resolution No. 22-33:
3.27 a. Buffers shall be provided from coastal sage scrub and chaparral ESHA that are of sufficient width to ensure that no required fuel modification (Zones A, B, or C, if required) will extend into the ESHA and that no structures will be within 100 feet of the outer edge of the plants that comprise the habitat.
b. The following types of new development and redevelopment adjacent to riparian ESHA along the western edge of the Malibu Middle and High School Campus shall provide an ESHA buffer that is the maximum feasible width. but no less than 50 feet, and where impacts to riparian ESHA are fully mitigated in the form of riparian and upland habitat restoration so it does not significantly disrupt the ESHA habitat values:
1. ESHA and creek-related educational uses and permeable viewing pad areas;
2. Roadways (and associated retaining walls), road right-of-way, utilities, storm drains, and permeable pavement parking lots;
3. Fuel modification required by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection;
4. Exterior lighting solely for accessibility and safety purposes; and
5. Fences necessary for public safety, restoration, and protection of habitat.
E. That the revised language in LUP Policy 6.7 be deleted and revert to certified language as shown below, as recommended by the CCC (the language was not originally included in Exhibit B of Resolution No. 22-33 but was inadvertently included in Ordinance No. 501 adopted by the City Council on September 27, 2022 for LCPA No. 21-002):
The height of structures shall be limited to minimize impacts to visual resources. The maximum allowable height, except for beachfront lots, shall be 18 feet above existing or finished grade, whichever is lower. On beachfront lots, or where found appropriate through Site Plan Review, the maximum height shall be 24 feet (flat roofs) or 28 feet (pitched roofs) above existing or finished grade, whichever is lower.

2. Yards/Setbacks.
a. Front yard setbacks shall be ten (10) feet from the street easement. b. Side yard setbacks shall be five feet. When adjacent to a residentially-zoned parcel(s) along a side yard, the setback shall be increased to ten (10) percent of the lot width or ten (10) feet, whichever is greater
c. Rear yard setbacks shall be five feet; however, when adjacent to a residentially-zoned parcel(s) along the rear yard, the setback shall be increased to fifteen (15) percent of the lot depth or fifteen (15) feet, whichever is greater.
3. Site-Specific Development Criteria. All proposed construction shall comply with the following site-specific development standards:
a. Structure Size. The gross floor area of all buildings on a given parcel shall be limited to a maximum Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of 0.15, or fifteen (15) percent of the lot area (excluding slopes equal to or greater than 1:1 and street easements). Additional gross floor area may be approved by the city council, up to the maximum allowed for the parcel under the Land Use Plan, where additional significant public benefits and amenities are provided as part of the project.
b. Landscaping and Site Permeability. Twenty-five (25) percent of the lot area (excluding slopes equal to or greater than 1:1 and street easements) shall be devoted to landscaping.
The required five-foot landscape buffer around the perimeter of parking areas pursuant to Section 3.14.5 (E)(1) of the Malibu LIP shall count toward the twenty-five (25) percent requirement. An additional five percent of the lot area (excluding slopes equal to or greater than 1:1 and street easements) shall be devoted to permeable surfaces. c. All parking areas within the 100-foot ESHA buffer area shall be paved with permeable pavement, to allow stormwater runoff to infiltrate into the soil below. Suspended paving systems shall be constructed below the permeable paving to treat and slow stormwater runoff before it reaches the ESHA.

Resolution No. 23-48
__________________
C. That Subsection 5.4 (Landscaping) of Section 5.0 (Development Standards) be amended to include the following provisions, which amends the proposed regulations included in Exhibit A of Resolution No. 22-33, corollary to the recommendations by the CCC for LCPA No. 21-002:
1. Permitted Uses in ESHA Buffer
The following types of new development and redevelopment, as provided in the MMHS Campus Specific Plan, shall provide an ESHA buffer that is the maximum feasible width extent but no less than 50 feet and where fully mitigated in conjunction with the ESHA Habitat Restoration Plan requirements of subsection 2 below, so that it does not significantly disrupt the habitat values of ESHA:
i. ESHA and creek-related educational uses and permeable pads for viewing areas; ii. Roadways (and associated retaining walls), road rights-of-way, utilities, storm drains, and permeable parking lots in a manner that involves no increase in development footprint for the portion within the habitat buffer area. If the improvement involves relocation, the new site shall be located no closer to ESHAs, wetlands, or creeks than the existing site and shall minimize encroachment into the habitat buffer to the maximum extent feasible;
iii. Fuel modification required by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection;
iv. Exterior lighting solely for accessibility and safety purposes; and v. Fences necessary for public safety, restoration, and protection of habitat.
2. ESHA Restoration Plan
i. Habitat Restoration Plan
To allow for clustering of new development within the existing, developed portions of the MMHS Campus, limited development may have a reduced buffer of less than 100 feet from the creek located on the western side of campus, as specifically allowed pursuant to subsection 1 above. Habitat buffers less than 100 feet place these habitat areas at risk of significant degradation caused by the adjacent development. The applicant shall mitigate the adverse impacts of reduced buffers by providing mitigation for all ESHA that will not have a 100-foot buffer from development.
As a condition of approval of and prior to issuance of a coastal development permit for new development requiring a less than 100-foot ESHA buffer within the overlay district, the applicant shall be required to submit for review and approval by the City Biologist, a final revised Habitat Restoration Plan that shall substantially conform to the “Habitat Restoration Plan for MMHS Campus, Malibu” (PSOMAS. 2021) and “ESHA Restoration Maps”, and incorporates the following phased restoration work:
Resolution No. 23-48
__________________
(1) During Phase 1 demolition of hardscape within the 100-foot buffer of the downstream area, the habitat restoration plan shall require weed abatement along the upstream, middle, and downstream riparian and upland habitat, broadcast of native seed in the downstream riparian and upland habitat as well as upstream upland habitat, and planting of native stock in the downstream riparian and upland habitat.
Bank stability improvements and erosion control would occur in the upstream, middle, and downstream portions of the ESHA during Phase 1, which include the proposed pedestrian trail and new roadways.
(2) During Phase 4 demolition of developed hardscape areas within the 100- foot buffer of the upstream and middle stream area, the habitat restoration plan shall require restoration of the upland area of the upstream and middle stream portion of the habitat. Upon completion of Phase 4, the pedestrian trail would be completed and connected to existing trails on the campus.
ii. Habitat Restoration Plan Implementation
As a condition of approval for Phase 1 and Phase 4 development requiring a less than 100-foot ESHA buffer within the overlay district, the applicant shall be required to implement the final approved Habitat Restoration Plan required pursuant to subsection i above. Restoration work under the final Habitat Restoration Plan shall be carried out prior to or concurrently with construction of the development project. Maintenance and monitoring of the restoration shall commence immediately after installation and continue for five years in each portion of the riparian and upland habitat areas (downstream, middle, and upstream). In any case, the implementation portion of the ESHA restoration project described above, shall be complete prior to the issuance of certificates of occupancy for any structures approved in the coastal development permit. Any proposed changes to the approved Habitat Restoration Plan must be approved by the City Biologist and reported to the Executive Director of the Coastal Commission.

COASTAL PROGRAM AMENDMENT NO. 21-002, ZONING TEXT
AMENDMENT NO. 22-002, AND ZONING MAP AMENDMENT NO. 22-001, AS ADOPTED BY ORDINANCE NO. 501 AND PURSUANT TO THE
CONDITIONAL CERTIFICATION ACTION TAKEN BY THE CALIFORNIA COASTAL COMMISSION ON SEPTEMBER 8, 2023, IN ORDER TO OBTAIN
FINAL CERTIFICATION OF THE SUBMITTED LOCAL COASTAL
PROGRAM AMENDMENT APPLICATION FOR THE MALIBU MIDDLE
AND HIGH SCHOOL CAMPUS SPECIFIC PLAN LOCATED AT 30215
MORNING VIEW DRIVE (SANTA MONICA-MALIBU UNIFIED SCHOOL
DISTRICT); AND FINDING THE ACTION TO BE EXEMPT FROM THE
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT AND CONSISTENT
WITH THE EIR FOR THE PROJECT WITH NO FURTHER
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW UNDER THE CALIFORNIA
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT REQUIRED
The City Council of the City of Malibu does ordain as follows:
SECTION 1. Findings.
A. On September 27, 2022, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 501 approving Local Coastal Program Amendment (LCPA) No. 21-002, Zoning Text Amendment (ZTA) No. 22- 002, and Zoning Map Amendment (ZMA) No. 22-001 to: A) add Section 3.4.6 to Local Coastal Program (LCP) Local Implementation Plan (LIP) Section 3.4 to incorporate the Malibu Middle and High School (MMHS) Campus Specific Plan into the LIP; B) exempt MMHS from the prohibition of electronic message center signs required by LIP Section 3.15.3; C) amend Malibu Municipal Code (MMC) section 17.42.020 to add Subsection “M.” to incorporate the MMHS Campus Specific Plan into the MMC consistent with the proposed LCPA language; D) exempt MMHS from the prohibition of electrical message center signs required by MMC Section
17.52.040; E) amend LCP Zoning Map No.2 to add a boundary line around the MMHS Campus Specific Plan Area, denoting the boundaries of the MMHS Campus Specific Plan area for three parcels (Assessor’s Parcel Map Numbers 4469-017-900, 4469-018-903, and 4469-018-904) located at 30215 Morning View Drive; F) add MMHS Campus Specific Plan Environmental Sensitive Habitat Area (ESHA) Restoration Map Nos. 1, 2, and 3 to the LIP; G) add the proposed site plan for the MMHS Campus Specific Plan to the LIP; and H) amend the MMC Zoning Map consistent with the update to LCP Zoning Map No. 2 located at 30215 Morning View Drive (Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District).
B. On September 8, 2023, the California Coastal Commission (CCC) took action to conditionally certify the City’s LCPA for Ordinance No. 501 with amendments (CCC File Reference LCPA No. LCP-4-MAL-22-0043-1).
C. On September 14, 2023 a Notice of City Council Public Hearing was published in a newspaper of general circulation within the City of Malibu indicating that the City Council would hold a public hearing on October 9, 2023 to consider the proposed Ordinance amending LCPA No. 21-002 (Exhibits A, C, and D of Ordinance No. 501), ZTA No. 22-002 (Exhibit B of Ordinance No. 512
__________________
Ordinance No. 501), and ZMA No. 22-001 (Exhibit F of Ordinance No. 501), as adopted by Ordinance No. 501 on September 27, 2022, pursuant to the conditional certification action taken by the CCC on September 8, 2023, in order to obtain final certification of LCPA No. 21-002.
D. On October 9, 2023, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing and introduced on first reading the proposed Ordinance amending LCPA No. 21-002 (Exhibits A, C, and D of Ordinance No. 501), ZTA No. 22-002 (Exhibit B of Ordinance No. 501), and ZMA No. 22-001 (Exhibit F of Ordinance No. 501), as adopted by Ordinance No. 501 on September 27, 2022, reviewed and considered written reports, public testimony, and related information.
E. On October 23, 2023, the City Council conducted a second reading and adopted Ordinance No. 512.
SECTION 2. Environmental Review.
The City Council has analyzed the amended LCPA and corollary amendments to the ZTA and ZMA herein proposed by the California Coastal Commission and makes the following findings. Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21080.9, the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) does not apply to activities and approvals by the City as necessary for the preparation and adoption of an LCPA. This action is for an amendment to the LCP and corollary amendments to the ZTA and ZMA, wherein the updated LCPA must be certified by the CCC before it takes effect. On September 8, 2023, the CCC took action to conditionally certify the City’s LCPA, with amendments to the LIP as previously adopted by Ordinance No. 501 (CCC File Reference LCPA No. LCP-4-MAL-22-0043-1). The City Council has analyzed the amendments and finds that the activities and approvals are necessary by the City for the adoption of the LCPA in order to obtain final certification of the LCPA by the CCC.
Further, the proposed City Council actions, including without limitation, direction to prepare an amended ordinance was adequately covered in a Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) adopted by the Santa Monica-Malibu School District (SMMUSD or District) Board of Education (Board) acting as lead agency on January 26, 2022, (State Clearinghouse No. 202008350). Previously, on September 19, 2019, the City accepted the District as the lead agency pursuant to CEQA Guidelines §15051 for the project and the City confirmed its role as a responsible agency. The proposed City Council actions are not a separate “project” for CEQA purposes but rather a subsequent discretionary action related to a previously approved project (CEQA Guidelines § 15378(c)). Additionally, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15163, and based on the review of the entire record, including without limitation, the Final EIR, the City Council finds that the proposed actions do not require further environmental review as:
1) no substantial changes are proposed to the project and no substantial changes have occurred that require major revisions to the FEIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or an increase in severity of previously identified significant effects; and 2) no new information of substantial importance has come to light that (a) shows the project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the FEIR, (b) identifies significant impacts would not be more severe than those analyzed in the FEIR, (c) shows that mitigation measures or alternatives are now feasible that were identified as infeasible and those mitigation measures or alternatives would reduce significant impacts, and (d) no changes to mitigation measures or alternatives have been identified or are required. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines §15162(b), the City Council finds Ordinance No. 512
__________________
and recommends that no further analysis or environmental documentation is necessary.
Accordingly, the proposed City Council actions are merely a step-in furtherance of the original project for which environmental review was performed and no supplemental or subsequent CEQA has been triggered, and no further environmental review is required.
SECTION 3. Acknowledgement of CCC’s Resolution of Certification.
The City of Malibu hereby acknowledges receipt of the CCC’s Resolution of Certification of City of Malibu LCPA No. LCP-4-MAL-22-0043-1 (MMHS Campus Specific Plan Overlay District), including any suggested modifications therein.
SECTION 4. Local Coastal Program Amendments.
Pursuant to LIP Section 19.5(B), the City Council adopts the following amendments to the LIP pursuant to the conditional certification action taken by the CCC on September 8, 2023 in order to obtain final certification of LCPA No. 21-002. Specifically, the amendments modify text and zoning maps in the LIP as adopted by Exhibits A, C, and D of Ordinance No. 501 for LCPA No. 21-002 as follows:

MMHS Campus Summary and Maps
Located in the Malibu Park neighborhood in west Malibu, the Malibu Middle and High School (MMHS) campus includes MMHS, the former Juan Cabrillo Elementary School (JCES), the Boys and Girls Club, several outdoor sports fields and courts, support facilities and infrastructure, the Malibu Equestrian Center and approximately ten acres of undeveloped land. As depicted in Figure 1, the MMHS campus is located on Morning View Drive, approximately one-quarter mile northeast of both Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) and Zuma Beach and generally between Merritt Drive to the west, Via Cabrillo Street to the east, and Harvester Road to the north.
Figure 1 – Vicinity Map
As shown in Figure 2, the MMHS Campus Specific Plan would be constructed in four phases:
Phase 1: Phase 1 is the current phase and includes the demolition of all existing former JCES buildings (already completed via CDP 22-034), relocation of portables P6 and P7 and construction of Building C, Parking Lot C, Parking D, and the Drop-off/Pick-up area Phase 1. The original timeline had construction anticipated to begin in Fall 2022 with a completion of Summer 2024. However, due to timing associated with the CCC’s review and certification of the Local Coastal Program Amendment (LCPA) for the Specific Plan, this timeline was extended.
Phase 2: Phase 2 is the next phase and would consist of the construction of Building D and the Middle School Quad. Phase 2 is anticipated to begin after Phase 1 is completed and is estimated two-year build. Note that a new bond will be required before subsequent phases can move forward.
Phase 3: Phase 3 would consist of the demolition of MMHS Buildings F and I; the existing field house; and the modular buildings adjacent to the existing pool, and the construction of Buildings J, L and M, and Parking Lots E and F. Phase 3 is anticipated to begin after Phase 1 is completed and is estimated two-year build. Original timing had Phase 3 completed by Fall 2030.
Phase 4: Phase 4 would involve the demolition of MMHS Buildings K, J and J1; the pool and pool building; and Bus Barn, and the demolition and/or relocation of the Boys & Girls Club and construction of the new Buildings H and I. This phase would also require the demolition of the existing MMHS Building H. Phase 4 is anticipated to begin prior to the completion of Phase 3 and is an estimated one-year build.
Figure 2 – Phasing Plan
As shown in Figure 3, the MMHS campus is made up of nine parcels of which three are associated with the MMHS Campus Specific Plan. These parcels are outlined in yellow and identified as APNs 4469-017-900, 4469-018-903, and 4469-018-904.

MMC Chapter 17.42 – Custom Development Criteria
MMC Section 17.42.020(M)
M. Malibu Middle and High School (MMHS) Specific Plan Overlay District The MMHS Campus Specific Plan Overlay District is intended to provide for the classification and development of a parcel or parcels of land as a coordinated, comprehensive project that will result in a more desirable development or physical environment than would be possible through the strict application of conventional zoning regulations and standards. The provisions of this section shall apply to the MMHS Campus (30215 Morning View Drive/APNs 4469-017-900, 4469-018-903, and 4469-18-904), as identified in the MMHS Campus Specific Plan Overlay District map.
1. Malibu Middle and High School Campus Specific Plan.
The provisions of this section provide custom development criteria and uses for the redevelopment of the MMHS campus, as described in MMHS Campus Specific Plan (August 2022), a plan which establishes the development standards and plan for the redevelopment of campus facilities in multiple phases to enhance and modernize facilities and improve campus circulation, as illustrated on the MMHS Campus Site Plan of the LIP.
2. Development Standards.
The institutional development standards contained in Section 17.40.110 shall not apply. The following are the development standards for the MMHS Campus Specific Plan Overlay District:
a. Height. Except as allowed in this section structures shall not exceed eighteen (18) feet above finished or natural grade, whichever results in lower building height, except for chimneys, rooftop antenna, and light standards. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section
17.62.040(A)(12), all development proposed above eighteen (18) feet in height must require a Site Plan Review, pursuant to Sections 17.62.040 and 17.62.060 of the Malibu Municipal Code. Should a Site Plan Review be required, the entire development above eighteen (18) feet, including all roof projections, requires the installation of story poles to ensure private view protection.
i. Building C: High School Building shall not exceed a maximum height of thirty-six (36) feet finished grade, except for chimneys, rooftop antenna, and light standards that shall not exceed forty-one (41) feet above finished grade.
ii. Building D: Middle School Gym/Multi-Purpose Room and Student Activities and Food Service structures shall not exceed a maximum height of thirty-six (36) feet finished grade, except for chimneys, rooftop antenna, and light standards that shall not exceed forty (40) feet above finished grade.
iii. Building H: Theater/Performing Arts shall not exceed a maximum height of forty-five (45) feet above finished grade.
iv. Building J: High School Gym/Physical Education shall not exceed a maximum height of forty-five (45) feet above finished grade.
v. Building L: Aquatics Center/Field House shall not exceed a maximum height of twenty-eight (28) feet above finished grade, inclusive of chimneys, rooftop antenna, and light standards.
vi. For all other buildings, roof-mounted mechanical equipment shall be integrated into the roof design, screened, and may project no more than two feet higher than the structure roof height (screens included).
vii. In no event shall the maximum number of stories above grade be greater than two. b. Yards/Setbacks.
i. Front yard setbacks shall be ten (10) feet from the street easement. ii. Side yard setbacks shall be five feet. When adjacent to a residentially-zoned parcel(s) along a side yard, the setback shall be increased to ten (10) percent of the lot width or ten (10) feet, whichever is greater.
iii. Rear yard setbacks shall be five feet; however, when adjacent to a residentially-zoned parcel(s) along the rear yard, the setback shall be increased to fifteen (15) percent of the lot depth or fifteen (15) feet, whichever is greater. c. Site-Specific Development Criteria. All proposed construction shall comply with the following site-specific development standards:
i. Structure Size. The gross floor area of all buildings on a given parcel shall be limited to a maximum Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of 0.15, or fifteen (15) percent of the lot area (excluding slopes equal to or greater than 1:1 and street easements). Additional gross floor area may be approved by the city council, up to the maximum allowed for the parcel under the general plan, where additional significant public benefits and amenities are provided as part of the project.
ii. Landscaping and Site Permeability. Twenty-five (25) percent of the lot area (excluding slopes equal to or greater than 1:1 and street easements) shall be devoted to landscaping. The required five-foot landscape buffer around the perimeter of parking areas pursuant to Section 17.48.050(E) shall count toward the twenty-five (25) percent requirement. An additional five percent of the lot area (excluding slopes equal to or greater than 1:1 and street easements) shall be devoted to permeable surfaces. iii. Pool and pool deck lighting must be consistent with the Malibu Dark Sky Ordinance. iv. All parking areas within the 100-foot ESHA buffer area shall be paved with permeable pavement, to allow stormwater runoff to infiltrate into the soil below. Suspended paving systems shall be constructed below the permeable paving to treat and slow stormwater runoff before it reaches the ESHA. The system shall be designed to provide treatment and storage for stormwater but also promote healthy tree growth within parking areas.
d. Wayfinding and Informational Signage
The following describes the types of allowed signs pursuant to the MMHS Campus Specific Plan:
i. Building Identification Signs. All buildings will have non-illuminated identification signs mounted flush to the wall to comply with public safety requirements. ii. Marquee signs. Two double-sided monument signs would be allowed on Morning View Drive. The monument signs would be a maximum of five feet tall and contain an LED display screen, 10 mm pixel spacing with dimmable brightness that is perpendicular to Morning View Drive facing east. The signs would be placed on concrete wall support and have an internally illuminated logo and must be turned off within one-half hour of all school events. Marquee sign lighting shall be dimmable in the evenings when not required for student/community communication.
e. Lighting.
i. All lighting at the MMHS campus, including pool lighting, shall be minimized, restricted to low intensity features, directed downward and away from ESHA, and shielded using the best available visor technology and pole height and design that minimizes light spill, sky glow, and glare impacts to public views and wildlife to the maximum extent feasible.
ii. Sports field lighting shall be limited to the main sports field at Malibu High School.
All sport field lighting shall adhere to the standards of Malibu Local Coastal Program Local Implementation Plan Sections 4.6.2 and 6.5.G.

The export of cut material may be required to preserve the natural topography of the project site. Cut material may only be exported to an appropriate landfill or a site permitted to accept material.
g. Permitted Uses in ESHA Buffer
The following types of new development and redevelopment, as provided in the Malibu Middle and High School Campus Specific Plan Overlay District, shall provide an ESHA buffer that is the maximum feasible width extent but no less than 50 feet and where fully mitigated in conjunction with the ESHA Habitat Restoration Plan requirements of subsection h below, so that it does not significantly disrupt the habitat values of ESHA:
i. ESHA and creek-related educational uses and permeable pads for viewing areas; ii. Roadways (and associated retaining walls), road rights-of-way, utilities, storm drains, and permeable parking lots in a manner that involves no increase in development footprint for the portion within the habitat buffer area. If the improvement involves relocation, the new site shall be located no closer to ESHAs, wetlands, or creeks than the existing site and shall minimize encroachment into the habitat buffer to the maximum extent feasible;
iii. Fuel modification required by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection;
iv. Exterior lighting solely for accessibility and safety purposes; and v. Fences necessary for public safety, restoration, and protection of habitat. h. ESHA Restoration Plan
i. Habitat Restoration Plan
To allow for clustering of new development within the existing, developed portions of the MMHS Campus. limited development may have a reduced buffer of less than 100 feet from the creek located on the western side of campus, as specifically allowed pursuant to subsection f above. Habitat buffers less than 100 feet place these habitat areas at risk of significant degradation caused by the adjacent development. The applicant shall mitigate the adverse impacts of reduced buffers by providing mitigation for all ESHA that will not have a 100-foot buffer from development.
As a condition of approval of and prior to issuance of a coastal development permit for new development requiring a less than 100-foot ESHA buffer within the overlay district, the applicant shall be required to submit for review and approval by the City Biologist, a final revised Habitat Restoration Plan that shall substantially conform to the “Habitat Restoration Plan for MMHS Campus. Malibu” (PSOMAS. 2021) “ESHA Restoration Map Nos. 1, 2, and 3” of the LIP, and incorporates the following phased restoration work:
(1) During Phase 1 demolition of hardscape within the 100-foot buffer of the downstream area, the habitat restoration plan shall require weed abatement along the upstream, middle, and downstream riparian and upland habitat, broadcast of native seed in the downstream riparian and upland habitat as well as upstream upland habitat, and planting of native stock in the downstream riparian and upland habitat. Bank stability improvements and erosion control would occur in the upstream, middle, and downstream portions of the ESHA during Phase 1, which include the proposed pedestrian trail and new roadways. (2) During Phase 4 demolition of developed hardscape areas within the 100-foot buffer of the upstream and middle stream area, the habitat restoration plan shall require restoration of the upland area of the upstream and middle stream portion of the habitat. Upon completion of Phase 4, the pedestrian trail would be completed and connected to existing trails on the campus. ii. Habitat Restoration Plan Implementation
As a condition of approval for Phase 1 and Phase 4 development requiring a less than 100-foot ESHA buffer within the overlay district, the applicant shall be required to implement the final approved Habitat Restoration Plan required pursuant to subsection i above. Restoration work under the final Habitat Restoration Plan shall be carried out prior to or concurrently with construction of the development project. Maintenance and monitoring of the restoration shall commence immediately after installation and continue for five years in each portion of the riparian and upland habitat areas (downstream, middle, and upstream). In any case, the implementation portion of the ESHA restoration project described in subsections (h)(i)(1) and (h)(i)(2) above, shall be complete prior to the issuance of certificates of occupancy for any structures approved in the coastal development permit. Any proposed changes to the approved Habitat Restoration Plan must be approved by the City Biologist and reported to the Executive Director of the Coastal Commission.

SUBJECT: City of Malibu Local Coastal Program Amendment No. LCP-4-MAL-22- 0043-1 (Malibu Middle and High School Campus Specific Plan) for September 8, 2023 Commission Meeting
SUMMARY OF STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The City of Malibu’s (“City”) proposed Local Coastal Program (LCP) Amendment No. LCP4-MAL-22-0043-1 consists of changes to the Land Use Plan (LUP) and Local Implementation Plan (LIP) portions of its certified LCP. Staff recommends that the Commission, after public hearing, deny the proposed LUP/LIP amendments as submitted and approve the proposed LUP amendment with three suggested modifications and the proposed LIP amendment with nine suggested modifications. The modifications are necessary to ensure that the proposed LUP amendment is consistent with and meets the requirements of the policies of Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act and the proposed LIP amendment conforms with, and is adequate to carry out, the provisions of the certified LUP, as amended. The motions to accomplish these recommendations are found on Pages 7-9 of this staff report.
The City is requesting an amendment to the LUP and LIP portions of its certified LCP to accommodate the redevelopment of campus facilities (“project”) at the Malibu Middle and High School (MMHS) Campus at 30215 Morning View Drive (APNs 4469-017-900, 4469- 018-903, and 4469-018-904) (“subject site”). Specifically, the LUP amendment proposes to modify existing LUP Policy 3.24 to allow certain types of new development to be designed with a reduced buffer setback from environmentally sensitive habitat areas (ESHA) from the standard 100 feet to 50 feet. The LIP amendment proposes the creation of a new overlay district (MMHS Campus Specific Plan) with special development standards to facilitate the redevelopment of campus facilities in multiple phases to enhance and modernize facilities and improve campus circulation on the subject site, as generally described in the Malibu Middle and High School Campus Specific Plan (“Specific Plan”). The amendment also includes increasing the development’s allowable building heights higher than permitted under the existing LCP and modifying the development setbacks from ESHA areas to facilitate the proposed project. Additionally, the LIP amendment incorporates the proposed site plan and proposed habitat restoration plans for the MMHS Campus Specific Plan Attachment 6
LCP-4-MAL-22-0043-1 (MMHS Campus Specific Plan)
2 project as maps under Appendix B of the LIP. Although the project-driven LCP amendment is based on the development proposed in the Specific Plan, the City Council action on the LCPA does not incorporate the Specific Plan into the LCP but rather incorporates individual development standards to accommodate the campus project into a new overlay district within the LCP.
The standard of review for the changes to the Land Use Plan is whether the amendment meets the requirements of and is consistent with the policies of Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act. The standard of review for the proposed changes to the Local Implementation Plan is whether the amendment conforms with and is adequate to carry out the provisions of the Land Use Plan portion of the certified City of Malibu LCP as amended.
The subject MMHS Campus property is located within the Malibu Park neighborhood in west Malibu. The campus is developed with elementary, middle, and high school facilities, including classrooms and administrative buildings, parking lots, a bus barn, a swimming pool, and sports fields. The campus is set amongst rolling hills at the base of the Santa Monica Mountains, and its buildings and athletic fields are terraced into a semi-rural hillside setting surrounded by residential properties. The Malibu LCP designates stream ESHA along the campus’ western property line. The stream extends approximately 1,088 feet and varies between approximately 24 and 85 feet wide. The proposed campus redevelopment project includes siting new development consisting of habitat viewing pad areas/outdoor learning spaces, trails, roadways, storm drains, permeable pavement parking lots, fuel modification, exterior lighting, and fencing within 50 feet to 100 feet of this ESHA habitat, along with restoration of the ESHA through the removal of existing hardscape, invasive plant species, and planting, maintenance, and monitoring of native plant species in riparian and upland areas of the stream corridor. The LCP amendment includes requirements for minimum ESHA buffer, allowable uses, and restoration phasing.
However, as proposed, the LUP and LIP amendments are inadequate in ensuring that new development will avoid and/or minimize impacts to ESHA, provide adequate buffers from ESHA, and mitigate impacts that cannot be avoided through the implementation of siting and design alternatives. The proposed amendments are written too broadly in the types of development uses that would be allowed within the ESHA buffer, did not include specific provisions requiring ESHA impacts from development with a reduced ESHA buffer to be fully mitigated, and did not require development standards for pool lighting to ensure pool lighting is minimized and directed away from ESHA. To ensure consistency with Coastal Act Section 30240 and relevant LUP ESHA protection policies, Suggested Modification Two (2) and Seven (7) modifies the proposed language to limit the types of development to only those that are a part of the project proposed under the MMHS Campus Specific Plan, and adds clarifying language that these types of development are only allowed “where fully mitigated in the form of riparian habitat restoration so it does not significantly disrupt the ESHA habitat values.”
Furthermore, the proposed overlay district ESHA Restoration Plan LIP Section 3.4.6(7) did not include implementing language or requirements for why, when, and how the onsite riparian habitat restoration plan must be implemented. Therefore, to ensure the trade-off of ESHA restoration for reduced ESHA buffers proposed in the subject LCP amendment is implemented accordingly, Suggested Modification Eight (8) adds language clarifying that LCP-4-MAL-22-0043-1 (MMHS Campus Specific Plan)
3 the proposed restoration plan is mitigation for allowing new development within the existing developed portions of the MMHS Campus, may have a reduced buffer of less than 100 feet from the creek, and the applicant is required to mitigate the adverse impacts of reduced ESHA buffers by providing mitigation for all ESHA that will not have a 100-foot buffer from development.
Additionally, Suggested Modification Five (5) adds a new development standards section under the proposed overlay district (LIP Section 3.4.6(A)(5)) to incorporate provisions to ensure that the pool lighting shall be minimized, directed downward and away from ESHA, and shielded using the best available visor technology and pole height and design that minimizes light spill, sky glow, and glare impacts to public views and wildlife to the maximum extent feasible. The remaining suggested modifications are necessary clarifications to LIP text and figures that further the intent and implementation of the LCP, ensure internal consistency, and avoid ambiguity.
For the reasons described in this report, Staff recommends that the Commission find that the proposed LUP amendment, only if modified as suggested, is consistent with and meets the requirements of the policies of Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act, and find the proposed LIP amendment, only if modified as suggested, is consistent with and adequate to carry out the applicable policies of the certified LUP as amended.

6 I. PROCEDURAL OVERVIEW
A. Standard of Review
The Coastal Act provides:
The Commission shall certify a land use plan, or amendments thereto, if it finds that a land use plan meets the requirements of, and is in conformity with, the policies of Chapter 3 (commencing with Section 30200) … (Section 30512(c)) The local government shall submit to the Commission the zoning ordinances, zoning district maps, and, where necessary, other implementing actions that are required pursuant to this chapter…(Section 30513)
…The Commission may only reject zoning ordinances, zoning district maps, or other implementing actions on the grounds that they do not conform with, or are inadequate to carry out, the provisions of the certified land use plan. If the Commission rejects the zoning ordinances, zoning district maps, or other implementing actions, it shall give written notice of the rejection, specifying the provisions of the land use plan with which the rejected zoning ordinances do not conform, or which it finds will not be adequately carried out together with its reasons for the action taken…(Section 30513)
The Commission may suggest modifications in the rejected zoning ordinances, zoning district maps, or other implementing actions, which, if adopted by the local government and transmitted to the commission, shall be deemed approved upon confirmation by the executive director...(Section 30513) Any proposed amendments to a certified local coastal program shall be submitted to, and processed by, the commission in accordance with the applicable procedures and time limits specified in Sections 30512 and 30513… (Section 30514(b)) Pursuant to Section 30512(c), the standard of review that the Commission utilizes in reviewing the adequacy of the proposed amendment to the City’s certified land use plan (LUP) is whether the proposed amendment is consistent with, and meets the requirements of, the policies of Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act. The standard of review for the proposed amendment to the City’s certified local implementation plan (LIP), pursuant to Sections 30513 and 30514(b) of the Coastal Act, is whether the proposed amendment is in conformance with, and adequate to carry out, the provisions of the LUP portion of the City’s certified local coastal program (LCP).
B. Procedural Requirements
If the Commission certifies the LCP amendment as submitted, no further City Council action will be necessary pursuant to Section 13544(b)(2) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations. Should the Commission deny the LCP Amendment, as submitted, without suggested modifications, no further action is required by either the Commission or the City LCP-4-MAL-22-0043-1 (MMHS Campus Specific Plan)
7 Council, and the LCP amendment is not effective, pursuant to Section 13542(f). Should the Commission deny the LCP Amendment, as submitted, but then approve it with suggested modifications, then the City Council may consider accepting the suggested modifications and submitting them by resolution to the Executive Director for a determination that the City Council’s acceptance is consistent with the Commission's action. In that scenario, pursuant to Section 13544(c) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, the modified LCP Amendment will become final when the Executive Director reports the determination that the local government's action is legally adequate to the Commission at its next regularly scheduled public meeting. If the City Council does not accept the suggested modifications within six months of the Commission’s action, then the LCP amendment remains uncertified and not effective.
C. Public Participation
Section 30503 of the Coastal Act requires public input in the preparation, approval, certification, and amendment of any LCP. The City held public hearings on this amendment and received oral and written comments regarding the proposed changes from concerned parties and members of the public. The hearings were duly noticed, consistent with the provisions of Section 13515 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations. Notice of the Coastal Commission’s consideration of the subject amendment has been distributed to all known interested parties.

VI.FINDINGS FOR DENIAL OF THE LUP/LIP AMENDMENT, AS
SUBMITTED, AND APPROVAL OF THE LUP/LIP
AMENDMENT, IF MODIFIED AS SUGGESTED
The following findings support the Commission’s denial of the proposed Land Use Plan and Local Implementation Plan amendment as submitted, and approval of the Local Implementation Plan Amendment if modified as suggested (detailed in Section IV.
Suggested Modifications above).
The Commission hereby finds and declares as follows:
A. Amendment Description and Background
The City of Malibu (“City”) is requesting an amendment to the Land Use Plan (LUP) and Local Implementation Plan (LIP) portions of its certified LCP to allow for new campus development to be designed with a reduced buffer setback from environmentally sensitive habitat areas (ESHA) and to incorporate a new overlay district to establish the development standards for the redevelopment of Malibu Middle and High School Campus facilities at 30215 Morning View Drive (APNs 4469-017-900, 4469-018-903, and 4469-018-904) (“subject site”).
Specifically, the LUP amendment proposes to modify existing LUP Policy 3.24 to allow certain types of new development to be designed with a reduced buffer setback from environmentally sensitive habitat areas (ESHA) from the standard minimum of 100 feet to 50 feet. The LUP amendment further proposes to modify LUP Policy 6.7 to add language that the building heights for MMHS campus development are established under the MMHS Campus Specific Plan.
The LIP amendment proposes to incorporate a new overlay district (Malibu Middle and High School (MMHS) Campus Specific Plan Overlay District) to LIP Section 3.4 to establish the development standards for the redevelopment of Malibu Middle and High School Campus facilities in multiple phases to enhance and modernize facilities and improve campus circulation on the subject site, as generally described in the Malibu Middle and High School Campus Specific Plan (dated August 2022), and discussed in detail below.
The LIP amendment further proposes to amend the LIP Zoning Map No. 2 (Exhibit 3) to add a boundary line around the MMHS Campus Specific Plan area, denoting the boundaries of the MMHS Campus Specific Plan area for three parcels (APNs 4469-017- LCP-4-MAL-22-0043-1 (MMHS Campus Specific Plan)
21 900, 4469-018-903, and 4469-018-904) and indicating that the area is zoned “Specific Plan.” Additionally, the LIP amendment incorporates the proposed site plan (Exhibit 4) and proposed habitat restoration plans (Exhibit 5) for the MMHS Campus Specific Plan project as maps under Appendix B of the LIP.
The proposed overlay site is currently zoned “Institutional” and contains educational facilities, associated administrative buildings, and athletic fields. The proposed MMHS Campus redevelopment project includes the construction of a new high school building, gymnasium, and theater/performing arts center building, which proposes building heights greater than currently allowed under the Institutional Zone development standards of the City’s LCP. Additionally, the project includes a new electronic message center sign, which is currently prohibited under the LCP, and a reduction of the 100-foot ESHA buffer to 50 feet to accommodate new parking areas and roadways and fuel modification, which is also not currently allowed under the LCP. Therefore, the City determined that a new overlay district with specific development standards (heights, setbacks, sign requirements, permitted uses) is needed to accommodate some of the proposed campus development.
Lastly, the LIP amendment adds language to existing LIP Section 3.15.3(J) (Prohibited Signs), LIP Section 4.5.4 (Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Buffers), and LIP Section 4.6.1 (Buffers) to include cross-references to the overlay district development standards to clarify that exemptions to the standards under LIP Sections 3.15.3(J), 4.5.4, and 4.6.1 are provided for under the subject overlay district.
Project Setting
The subject 52-acre MMHS Campus property is located at 30215 Morning View Drive, in the Malibu Park neighborhood in west Malibu (Exhibit 6). The campus includes Malibu Middle and High School, the former Juan Cabrillo Elementary School (JCES), several outdoor sports fields and courts, a swimming pool, support facilities, infrastructure, the Malibu Equestrian Center, and approximately ten acres of undeveloped land. The campus is approximately one-quarter mile northeast of Pacific Coast Highway and Zuma Beach and generally between Merritt Drive to the west, Via Cabrillo Street to the east, and Harvester Road to the north. The campus is set amongst rolling hills at the base of the Santa Monica Mountains, and its buildings and athletic fields are terraced into a semi-rural hillside setting surrounded by residential properties. Existing light sources on campus include security, parking lot, and limited sports field lighting. Public viewing areas in the vicinity include Zuma Beach County Park, approximately 1,400 feet to the south, and National Park Service land, approximately 4,000 feet inland to the north. The Zuma Ridge Trail traverses in an east-west direction and is situated near the National Park Service land to the north.
The Malibu LCP Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Area Overlay Map delineates a blue-line unlined stream along the campus’ western property line. The stream consists of an underground pipe from Floris Heights Road that flows under the school property and daylights into a natural streambed along the campus’ western property line. The stream extends approximately 1,088 feet and varies between approximately 24 and 85 feet wide.
Although the stream contains degraded riparian vegetation, the site-specific biological assessment that was prepared for previous campus projects (“Biological Assessment – Malibu Middle and High School Campus Improvements”, prepared by Glenn Lukos LCP-4-MAL-22-0043-1 (MMHS Campus Specific Plan)
22 Associates (GLA) – December 2009), provided evidence that the stream contains habitat meeting the definition of ESHA and surveyed the limits of this stream ESHA in the field.
The Commission concurs with the conclusions reached regarding the site’s biological resources in the above-mentioned biological assessment.
Malibu Middle and High School Campus Specific Plan and Project Description The MMHS Campus Specific Plan (Specific Plan) establishes the goals, development standards, and plan for the redevelopment of the former Juan Cabrillo Elementary School (JCES) campus and the existing MMHS campus, to create a new campus that provides separate learning spaces for the middle and high school students as well as shared amenities, to be implemented in four phases over the next 10 to 15 years. The existing MMHS campus was constructed as Malibu Park Junior High School in 1963, and in 1992 the school was converted for use as a combined middle school and high school. The Specific Plan area where redevelopment is proposed is defined by three of nine contiguous parcels owned by the Santa Monica-Unified School District (SMMUSD): Assessor Parcel Numbers (APNs) 4469-017-900 (40 acres), 4469-018-900 (9.4 acres), and 4469-018-904 (2.57 acres). The total acreage of the project site is 52.03 acres.
Apart from the recently completed Buildings A, B, and E, SMMUSD needs to support 21stcentury learning, including technology improvements and flexible classrooms for multiple learning modalities. The Specific Plan would result in the demolition of 18 existing buildings on the combined campuses, retention of the existing athletic fields and the recently completed Buildings A, B, and E on the MMHS campus, and the construction of a new campus with dedicated spaces for middle and high schools. The Specific Plan would result in 32 classrooms and 8 labs and 173,595 square feet of new building space. While the Specific Plan will upgrade the MMHS campus, it does not increase the floor area ratio (FAR) nor allow for an increase in the maximum student population from the existing development.
The Specific Plan would be constructed in four phases (Exhibit 9):
Phase 1: Phase 1 would demolish all existing former JCES campus buildings and portable classrooms, construction of Building C (High School Building), Parking Lots C and D, and the Drop-off/Pick-up area.
Phase 2: Phase 2 consists of constructing Building D (Middle School Gym/MultiPurpose Room) and Middle School Quad.
Phase 3: Phase 3 would consist of the demolition of MMHS Buildings F and I; the existing field house; and the modular buildings adjacent to the existing pool, and the construction of Buildings J (High School Gym), L (Aquatics Center/Field House), and M (Upper Field House) and Parking Lots E and F.
Phase 4: Phase 4 would involve the demolition of MMHS Buildings K, J, and J1; the pool and pool building; and Bus Barn, and the demolition and/or relocation of the Boys and Girls Club and construction of the new Buildings H LCP-4-MAL-22-0043-1 (MMHS Campus Specific Plan)
23 (Theater/Performing Arts) and I (Special Education and Campus Wellness Center).
The Specific Plan also includes a phased restoration plan for the riparian habitat ESHA along the western edge of campus. Phases 1 and 4 under the Specific Plan would add to the overall restoration plan area. In total, 2.03 acres of ESHA would be restored, with the removal of approximately 0.50 acres of hardscape and structures currently encroaching within 100 feet of the ESHA boundary.
The Specific Plan recommends changes to several existing LCP development standards to implement the campus redevelopment plan. These changes include increasing building heights, allowing an electronic message center sign, reducing the ESHA setback for development, and increasing maximum grading quantities. Although the project-driven LCP amendment is based on the development standards listed in the Specific Plan, the City’s intention is not to incorporate the Specific Plan into the LCP but instead to incorporate the modified development standards required for the campus redevelopment project into a new overlay district within the LCP.
An EIR was prepared and adopted for the project by the City pursuant to CEQA. The City is also currently reviewing the local coastal development permit application for phase one of the Campus Specific Plan project, which includes the demolition of the former Juan Cabrillo Elementary School (JCES) campus and the construction of a new high school building with associated parking lots and roadways.
Commission, City, and the Santa Monica Mountains United School District (“District”) staff have coordinated extensively on the contents of the subject amendment. During amendment pre-submittal discussions, respective staff identified and addressed the key issues and worked out an approach to various issues. This coordination effort began in 2019. Since receipt of the subject amendment, the Commission and City staff have continued to coordinate extensively on the proposed amendment language. The suggested modifications are primarily a result of the new and modified language. The suggested modifications include additional development standards, requirements for timing of mitigation, as well as clarifications that are not substantive changes.
The City of Malibu submitted the subject LCP Amendment to the Commission on October 3, 2022. The amendment submittal was deemed complete by Commission staff and filed on April 12, 2023. At its July 2023 Commission meeting, the Commission extended the 90 working-day time limit to act on the LCP amendment for a period not to exceed one year from the original deadline of August 18, 2023.
The full text of the City’s proposed changes to the LCP is included as Exhibits 1-5 of this report.
B. Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Areas and Water Quality The following Coastal Act policies are applicable:
LCP-4-MAL-22-0043-1 (MMHS Campus Specific Plan)
24 Section 30107.5 of the Coastal Act states:
Environmentally sensitive area" means any area in which plant or animal life or their habitats are either rare or especially valuable because of their special nature or role in an ecosystem and which could be easily disturbed or degraded by human activities and developments.
Section 30231 of the Coastal Act states:
The biological productivity and the quality of coastal waters, streams, wetlands, estuaries, and lakes appropriate to maintain optimum populations of marine organisms and for the protection of human health shall be maintained and, where feasible, restored through, among other means, minimizing adverse effects of waste water discharges and entrainment, controlling runoff, preventing depletion of ground water supplies and substantial interference with surface waterflow, encouraging waste water reclamation, maintaining natural vegetation buffer areas that protect riparian habitats, and minimizing alteration of natural streams.
Section 30240 of the Coastal Act states:
(a) Environmentally sensitive habitat areas shall be protected against any significant disruption of habitat values, and only uses dependent on those resources shall be allowed within those areas.
(b) Development in areas adjacent to environmentally sensitive habitat areas and parks and recreation areas shall be sited and designed to prevent impacts which would significantly degrade those areas, and shall be compatible with the continuance of those habitat and recreation areas.
The Coastal Act policies above have been incorporated in their entirety into the certified Land Use Plan. In addition, the following LUP policies are applicable in this case:
Land Use Plan Policy 3.1 states:
Areas in which plant or animal life or their habitats are either rare or especially valuable because of their special nature or role in an ecosystem and which could be easily disturbed or degraded by human activities and developments are Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Areas (ESHAs) and are generally shown on the LUP ESHA Map. The ESHAs in the City of Malibu are riparian areas, streams, native woodlands, native grasslands/savannas, chaparral, coastal sage scrub, dunes, bluffs, and wetlands, unless there is site-specific evidence that establishes that a habitat area is not especially valuable because of its special nature or role in the ecosystem. Regardless of whether streams and wetlands are designated as ESHA, the policies and standards in the LCP applicable to streams and wetlands shall apply. Existing, legally established agricultural uses, confined animal facilities, and fuel modification areas required by the Los Angeles County Fire Department for existing, legal structures do not meet the definition of ESHA.
LCP-4-MAL-22-0043-1 (MMHS Campus Specific Plan)
25 Land Use Plan Policy 3.8 states:
Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Areas (ESHAs) shall be protected against significant disruption of habitat values, and only uses dependent on such resources shall be allowed within such areas.
Land Use Plan Policy 3.9 states:
Public accessways and trails are considered resource dependent uses. Accessways and trails located within or adjacent to ESHA shall be sited to minimize impacts to ESHA to the maximum extent feasible. Measures, including but not limited to, signage, placement of boardwalks, and limited fencing shall be implemented as necessary to protect ESHA.
Land Use Plan Policy 3.12 states:
No development shall be allowed in wetlands unless it is authorized under Policy
3.89. For all ESHA other than wetlands, the allowable development area (including the building pad and all graded slopes, if any, as well as permitted structures) on parcels where all feasible building sites are ESHA or ESHA buffer shall be 10,000 square feet or 25 percent of the parcel size, whichever is less. If it is demonstrated that it is not feasible from an engineering standpoint to include all graded slopes within the approved development area. For parcels over 40 acres in size, the maximum development area may be increased by 500 sq. ft. for each additional acre in parcel size to a maximum of 43,560-sq. ft. (1-acre) in size. The development must be sited to avoid destruction of riparian habitat to the maximum extent feasible.
These development areas shall be reduced, or no development shall be allowed, if necessary to avoid a nuisance, as defined in California Civil Code Section 3479.
Mitigation of adverse impacts to ESHA that cannot be avoided through the implementation of siting and design alternatives shall be required.
Land Use Plan Policy 3.14 states:
New development shall be sited and designed to avoid impacts to ESHA. If there is no feasible alternative that can eliminate all impacts, then the alternative that would result in the fewest or least significant impact shall be selected. Impacts to ESHA that cannot be avoided through the implementation of siting and design alternatives shall be fully mitigated, with priority given to on-site mitigation. Off-site mitigation measures shall only be approved when it is not feasible to fully mitigate impacts onsite or where off-site mitigation is more protective in the context of a Natural Community Conservation Plan that is certified by the Commission as an amendment to the LCP. Mitigation shall not substitute for implementation of the project alternatives that would avoid impacts to ESHA.
Land Use Plan Policy 3.15 states:
Mitigation measures for impacts to ESHA that cannot be avoided through the implementation of siting and design alternatives, including habitat restoration and/or LCP-4-MAL-22-0043-1 (MMHS Campus Specific Plan)
26 enhancement shall be monitored for a period of no less than five years following completion. Specific mitigation objectives and performance standards shall be designed to measure the success of the restoration and/or enhancement. Midcourse corrections shall be implemented if necessary. Monitoring reports shall be provided to the City annually and at the conclusion of the five-year monitoring period that document the success or failure of the mitigation. If performance standards are not met by the end of five years, the monitoring period shall be extended until the standards are met. However, if after ten years, performance standards have still not been met, the applicant shall submit an amendment proposing alternative mitigation measures.
Land Use Plan Policy 3.23 states:
Development adjacent to ESHAs shall minimize impacts to habitat values or sensitive species to the maximum extent feasible. Native vegetation buffer areas shall be provided around ESHAs to serve as transitional habitat and provide distance and physical barriers to human intrusion. Buffers shall be of a sufficient size to ensure the biological integrity and preservation of the ESHA they are designed to protect. All buffers shall be a minimum of 100 feet in width, except for the case addressed in Policy 3.27.
Land Use Plan Policy 3.24 states:
New development adjacent to parklands, where the purpose of the park is to protect the natural environment and ESHA, shall be sited and designed to minimize impacts to habitat and recreational opportunities, to the maximum extent feasible. Natural vegetation buffer areas shall be provided around parklands. Buffers shall be of sufficient size to prevent impacts to parkland resources, but in no case shall they be less than 100 feet in width.
Land Use Plan Policy 3.25 states:
New development, including, but not limited to, vegetation removal, vegetation thinning, or planting of non-native or invasive vegetation shall not be permitted in required ESHA or park buffer areas, except for that case addressed in Policy 3.27.
Habitat restoration and invasive plant eradication may be permitted within required buffer areas if designed to protect and enhance habitat values.
Land Use Plan Policy 3.26 states:
Required buffer areas shall extend from the following points:
a. The outer edge of the canopy of riparian vegetation for riparian ESHA. b. The outer edge of the tree canopy for oak or other native woodland ESHA. c. The top of bluff for coastal bluff ESHA.
Land Use Plan Policy 3.28 states:
LCP-4-MAL-22-0043-1 (MMHS Campus Specific Plan)
27 Variances or modifications to buffers or other ESHA protection standards shall not be granted, except where there is no other feasible alternative for siting the development and it does not exceed the limits on allowable development pursuant to Policies 3.10-3.13.
Land Use Plan Policy 3.51 states:
Disturbed areas ESHAs shall not be further degraded, and if feasible, restored. If new development removes or adversely impacts native vegetation, measures to restore any disturbed or degraded habitat on the property shall be included as mitigation.
Land Use Plan Policy 3.53 states:
Fencing or walls shall be prohibited within riparian, bluff, Point Dume canyon or dune ESHA, except where necessary for public safety or habitat protection or restoration.
Fencing or walls that do not permit the free passage of wildlife shall be prohibited in any wildlife corridor.
Land Use Plan Policy 3.56 states:
Exterior night lighting shall be minimized, restricted to low intensity fixtures, shielded, and directed away from ESHA in order to minimize impacts on wildlife. High intensity perimeter lighting and lighting for sports courts or other private recreational facilities in ESHA, ESHA buffer, or where night lighting would increase illumination in ESHA is prohibited.
Land Use Plan Policy 3.62 states:
All new development shall include mitigation for unavoidable impacts to ESHA from the removal, conversion, or modification of natural habitat for new development, including required fuel modification and brush clearance.
Land Use Plan Policy 3.95 states:
New development shall be sited and designed to protect water quality and minimize impacts to coastal waters by incorporating measures designed to ensure the following:
a. Protecting areas that provide important water quality benefits, areas necessary to maintain riparian and aquatic biota and/or that are susceptible to erosion and sediment loss.
b. Limiting increases of impervious surfaces.
c. Limiting land disturbance activities such as clearing and grading, and cut-and-fill to reduce erosion and sediment loss.
d. Limiting disturbance of natural drainage features and vegetation.
LCP-4-MAL-22-0043-1 (MMHS Campus Specific Plan)
28 The following Local Implementation Plan (LIP) sections are specifically applicable in this case:
LIP Section 4.8 (Mitigation), in relevant part, states:
4.8 Mitigation
A. New development shall be sited and designed to avoid impacts to ESHA. If there is no feasible alternative that can eliminate all impacts, then the alternative that would result in the fewest or least significant impacts shall be selected. Residual adverse impacts to ESHA shall be fully mitigated, with priority given to onsite mitigation. Off-site mitigation measures shall only be approved when it is not feasible to fully mitigate impacts onsite or where off-site mitigation is more protective in the context of a Natural Community Conservation Plan that is certified by the Coastal Commission as an amendment to the Malibu LCP.
Mitigation shall not substitute for implementation of the project alternative that would avoid impacts to ESHA. The permit shall include conditions that require implementation of all feasible mitigation measures that would significantly reduce adverse impacts of the project.
B. When mitigation measures are required by Section 4.8 (A) of the Malibu LIP for impacts to ESHA, such measures including habitat restoration and/or enhancement shall be monitored for a period of no less than five years following completion. Specific mitigation objectives and performance standards shall be designed to measure the success of the restoration and/or enhancement. Midcourse corrections shall be implemented if necessary. Monitoring reports shall be provided to the City annually and at the conclusion of the five-year monitoring period that document the success or failure of the mitigation. If performance standards are not met by the end of five years, the monitoring period shall be extended until the standards are met. The restoration will be considered successful after the success criteria have been met for a period of at least 2 years without any maintenance or remediation activities other than exotic species control. At the City’s discretion, final performance monitoring will be conducted by an independent monitor supervised by the city biologist and paid for by the applicant. If success criteria are not met within 10 years, the applicant shall submit an amendment proposing alternative mitigation.
Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Areas
One of the chief objectives of the Coastal Act is the preservation, protection, and enhancement of coastal resources, including land and marine habitats and water quality.
The rarest and most ecologically important habitats are given particular protection from development. Section 30107.5 of the Coastal Act defines Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Area as “any area in which plant or animal life or their habitats are either rare or especially valuable because of their special nature or role in an ecosystem and which could be easily disturbed or degraded by human activities and developments.” Coastal Act Section 30231 LCP-4-MAL-22-0043-1 (MMHS Campus Specific Plan)
29 requires that the biological productivity and quality of coastal waters be maintained. Coastal Act Section 30240 requires the protection of environmentally sensitive habitat areas (ESHA) against any significant disruption of habitat values. No development, with the exception of uses dependent on the resources, is allowed within any ESHA. This policy further requires that development adjacent to ESHA is sited and designed to prevent impacts that would significantly degrade ESHA and must be compatible with the continuance of the habitat areas. The Malibu LUP ESHA Map contains most known watercourses and ESHA locations throughout the Malibu Coastal Zone. LUP Policies 3.8,
3.14, and 3.23 require new development to avoid and/or minimize impacts to ESHA, provide adequate buffers from ESHA, mitigate impacts that cannot be avoided through the implementation of siting and design alternatives, and ensure that ESHA is protected against any significant disruption of habitat values. Additionally, LUP Policy 3.56 states that exterior night lighting shall be minimized and directed away from ESHA in order to minimize impacts on wildlife.
The Malibu Middle and High School campus covers approximately 52 acres and is situated within the coastal terrace between Zuma Beach and the southern flanks of the western portion of the Santa Monica Mountains. The elevation of the campus site ranges from approximately 100 feet along Morning View Drive on the south side up to approximately 208 feet on the north side of campus. The campus is developed with elementary, middle, and high school facilities, including classrooms and administrative buildings, parking lots, a bus barn, a swimming pool, and sports fields. The surrounding area is characterized by primarily semi-rural residential development. A large berm separates the school’s athletic field area from the existing equestrian park to the east.
The Malibu LCP Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Area Overlay Map delineates stream ESHA along the campus’ western property line. The stream consists of an underground pipe from Floris Heights Road that flows under the school property and daylights into a natural streambed along the campus’ western property line. The stream extends approximately 1,088 feet and varies between approximately 24 and 85 feet wide. Although the stream contains degraded riparian vegetation, the site-specific biological assessment that was prepared for previous campus projects (“Biological Assessment – Malibu Middle and High School Campus Improvements,” prepared by Glenn Lukos Associates (GLA) – December 2009) provided evidence confirming that the stream contains habitat meeting the definition of ESHA. This study also includes a survey of the limits of the stream ESHA in the field. Currently, existing campus development within an area of approximately 0.50 acres encroaches within 100 feet of the riparian stream ESHA habitat.
MMHS Campus Redevelopment Project-Specific LCP Amendment As described above, the project-driven LCP amendment is to accommodate the redevelopment and modernization of the existing Malibu Middle and High School (MMHS) campus and the former Juan Cabrillo Elementary School (JCES) campus with a new high school building, classrooms, and labs, two gymnasium/physical education buildings, theater/performing arts building, sport field houses, new 50-meter swimming pool with associated pool lighting, parking lots and drive aisles, as detailed in the MMHS Campus Specific Plan. Specifically, the proposed campus redevelopment project proposes siting LCP-4-MAL-22-0043-1 (MMHS Campus Specific Plan)
30 new development consisting of habitat viewing pad areas/outdoor learning spaces, trails, roadways, storm drains, permeable pavement parking lots, fuel modification, exterior lighting, and fencing within 50 feet to 100 feet of the adjacent riparian ESHA habitat along the western edge of the campus. Additionally, the project would remove portions of as-built non-conforming development (approximately 0.50 acres) currently encroaching within the 100-foot buffer area of the riparian stream ESHA. Although none of the proposed MMHS Campus Specific Plan development would be located directly within ESHA, the abovementioned development would not conform to the requirements of LUP Policy 3.23, which states that development adjacent to ESHAs shall minimize impacts to habitat values or sensitive species to the maximum extent feasible and shall have a buffer of a minimum of 100 feet in width from ESHA.
In addition, Coastal Act Section 30240 requires that development in areas adjacent to ESHA be sited and designed to prevent impacts which would significantly degrade those areas and LUP Policy 3.14 states that new development shall be sited and designed to avoid impacts to ESHA. If no feasible alternative can eliminate all impacts, the alternative that would result in the fewest or least significant impacts shall be selected. While LUP Policy 3.28 allows for a reduced ESHA buffer, the LUP only allows the reduction when there is no other feasible alternative for siting the development. Given that the proposed project does not provide for a full 100-foot buffer from ESHA and therefore does not minimize impacts to habitat values or sensitive species to the maximum extent feasible, the City evaluated different project alternatives to determine the alternative with the fewest or least significant impacts. The first alternative included siting the proposed development beyond the required 100-foot ESHA setback, such as moving the high school building and associated drive aisles and parking lots farther east and away from the riparian ESHA.
However, this alternative would require large retaining walls, building elevators, and ramps, resulting in increased building heights and visibility, additional landform alternation, and increased grading due to the site’s topographic constraints. A second alternative involved locating the associated drive aisles and parking lots in the center of campus and away from the riparian ESHA; however, this alternative would not meet the district’s student safety requirements and objective of siting roads and parking on the perimeter of the site and maintaining a vehicle-free, and therefore safer, campus for students to move freely between the High and Middle Schools and shared amenities and retaining a pedestrianonly paseo through the middle of campus.
Ultimately, the City determined that the project proposed under the MMHS Campus Specific Plan, which includes clustering new development within the existing developed portions of the site, utilizing previously disturbed areas, and reducing landform alteration, was the alternative with the least significant impacts. It’s important to note that while some limited types of development would still be located within the 100-foot ESHA buffer under the preferred alternative, all new buildings (including the new high school building) would maintain the LCP-required 100-foot ESHA buffer, and no permanent removal of ESHA would occur.
Thus, the City determined that the preferred alternative proposed under the MMHS Campus Specific Plan would require an exception from the LCP-required 100-foot ESHA setback standard to accommodate the project. In exchange for the reduced ESHA buffers, LCP-4-MAL-22-0043-1 (MMHS Campus Specific Plan)
31 the City required the district to provide for mitigation of the impacts to habitat values and sensitive species by not providing the full 100-foot buffer (as required under LUP Policy
3.14) in the form of habitat restoration of the adjacent degraded riparian habitat ESHA. The district has prepared a restoration plan (Exhibit 10) (Habitat Restoration Plan for MMHS Campus, Malibu (PSOMAS, 2021)) and has incorporated the plan into the MMHS Campus Specific Plan. The LCP amendment also includes incorporating the Habitat Restoration Plan Maps (Exhibit 5) into the LIP.
The proposed habitat restoration plan (Habitat Restoration Plan for MMHS Campus, Malibu (PSOMAS, 2021)) includes the demolition of hardscape within the 100-foot buffer of the downstream area of the riparian habitat, weed abatement, broadcast of native seed and planting of native stock and invasive plant controls along the upstream, middle, and downstream portions of the riparian habitat area. Bank stability improvements and erosion control would occur in the upstream and downstream parts of the ESHA during Phase 1 of the phased project, which would also include the proposed pedestrian trail. After the demolition of as-built hardscape areas within the 100-foot buffer of the upstream and middle stream areas during Phase 4, the habitat restoration plan would include restoration of the upland area of the upstream and middle stream portion of the riparian habitat area.
Upon completion of Phase 4, the pedestrian trail would be completed and connected to existing trails on the MMHS campus.
The LUP portion of the City’s amendment request proposes to modify existing LUP Policy
3.24 to allow for limited types of new campus development to be designed with a reduced buffer setback from environmentally sensitive habitat areas (ESHA) from the standard 100 feet to 50 feet. The LIP portion of the City’s amendment creates a new overlay district with specific development standards, including a similar provision that allows for a reduced ESHA buffer setback if the development does not significantly disrupt the habitat values of the ESHA. Additionally, the overlay district development standards include provisions requiring the ESHA restoration plan (Habitat Restoration Plan for MMHS Campus, Malibu (PSOMAS, 2021) be implemented as a condition of approval for the coastal development permits for phase one and phase four of the redevelopment project. Furthermore, the LIP amendment proposes incorporating the ESHA Restoration Maps of the Habitat Restoration Plan into the LCP as new maps under Appendix B of the LIP. The overlay district development standards also include a provision requiring the proposed restoration work to be completed per the “ESHA Restoration Maps” (Exhibit 5).
However, the City’s proposed reduced ESHA buffer provision under LUP Policy 3.24, and similarly written proposed overlay district reduced ESHA buffer provision under LIP Section
3.4.6(A)(6), is written too broadly in the types of development uses that would be allowed within the ESHA buffer. Therefore, as proposed, the provisions could allow for other types of development not associated with the campus redevelopment project to be developed with a reduced ESHA buffer. Additionally, the proposed provisions did not include specific language requiring ESHA impacts from development with a reduced ESHA buffer to be fully mitigated. Therefore, to ensure the proposed LUP/LIP ESHA buffer reduction policies conform to the applicable Coastal Act Section 30240 and LUP policies, Suggested Modification Two (2) and Seven (7) modifies the proposed language to limit the types of development to only those that are a part of the preferred alternative proposed under the LCP-4-MAL-22-0043-1 (MMHS Campus Specific Plan)
32 MMHS Campus Specific Plan and adds clarifying language that these types of development are only allowed “where fully mitigated in the form of riparian habitat restoration so it does not significantly disrupt the ESHA habitat values.” Furthermore, the proposed overlay district ESHA Restoration Plan LIP Section 3.4.6(7) did not include implementing language or requirements for why, when, and how the restoration plan must be implemented. Therefore, to ensure the trade-off of ESHA restoration for reduced ESHA buffers proposed in the subject LCP amendment is fully implemented in a timely manner, Suggested Modification Eight (8) adds language clarifying that the proposed restoration plan is mitigation for allowing new development within the existing developed portions of the MMHS Campus to have a reduced buffer that is the maximum width feasible but in no case less than 50 feet from the creek, and the applicant is required to mitigate the adverse impacts of reduced ESHA buffers by providing mitigation for all ESHA that will not have a 100-foot buffer from development. Furthermore, Suggested Modification Eight (8) includes language requiring the restoration work to occur before or concurrently with the construction of the redevelopment project and requires maintenance and monitoring of the restoration for five years to ensure the proposed LIP Section 3.4.6(7) conforms to the mitigation requirements and provisions of LIP Section 4.8 (Mitigation).
Pool Lighting
Another potential impact to ESHA from development is the effect of night lighting on wildlife using these habitat areas. The LCP has specific requirements that limit night lighting to protect ESHA. LUP Policy 3.56 requires exterior night lighting to be minimized, restricted to low intensity fixtures, shielded, and directed away from ESHA to minimize impacts on wildlife. The MMHS campus redevelopment project includes a new 50-meter swimming pool with associated pool lighting. However, the proposed amendment had no requirements, limitations, or development standards for this type of exterior lighting.
Furthermore, the LCP amendment does not make a distinction between pool lighting and other types of exterior lighting on campus, so it’s unclear how this new type of pool lighting would be reviewed under the LCP, what potential adverse impacts to coastal resources could occur, and what standards would be applied by the City in its consideration of a future coastal development permit for this use. Through Commission staff’s coordination efforts, City of Malibu staff prepared a new development standards section to be added to the LCP amendment under the proposed overlay district (LIP Section 3.4.6(A)(5)) to incorporate lighting provisions (including pool lighting requirements) to ensure that lighting shall be minimized, restricted to low intensity features, directed downward and away from ESHA, and shielded using the best available visor technology and pole height and design that minimizes light spill, sky glow, and glare impacts to public views and wildlife to the maximum extent feasible. Pool lighting must also be limited to only the extent necessary to achieve safety illumination regulations per the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IESNA) for a Class II facility. The City has requested that the Commission add these lighting requirements to the overlay district development standards as a suggested modification. Suggested Modification Five (5) incorporates LIP Section 3.4.6(A)(5) to the overlay district standards to ensure that lighting impacts are avoided, consistent with the LUP policies.
LCP-4-MAL-22-0043-1 (MMHS Campus Specific Plan)
33 Conclusion
For the reasons stated above, the Commission finds that the LUP amendment, only if modified as suggested, will meet the requirements of, and be in conformity with, the Chapter 3 policies of the Coastal Act; and the LIP amendment, only if modified as suggested, conforms with, and is adequate to carry out, the policies of the certified Land Use Plan, as amended.
C. Scenic and Visual Resources and LCP Administration
Scenic and Visual Resources
Section 30251 of the Coastal Act states:
The scenic and visual qualities of coastal areas shall be considered and protected as a resource of public importance. Permitted development shall be sited and designed to protect views to and along the ocean and scenic coastal areas, to minimize the alteration of natural land forms, to be visually compatible with the character of surrounding areas, and, where feasible, to restore and enhance visual quality in visually degraded areas. New development in highly scenic areas such as those designated in the California Coastline reservation and Recreation Plan prepared by the Department of Parks and Recreation and by local government shall be subordinate to the character of its setting.
The Coastal Act policy above has been incorporated in its entirety into the certified Land Use Plan. In addition, the following LUP policies are applicable in this case:
Land Use Plan Policy 6.1 states:
The Santa Monica Mountains, including the City, contain scenic areas of regional and national importance. The scenic and visual qualities of these areas shall be protected and, where feasible, enhanced.
Land Use Plan Policy 6.2 states:
Places on and along public roads, trails, parklands, and beaches that offer scenic vistas are considered public viewing areas. Existing public roads where there are views of the ocean and other scenic areas are considered Scenic Roads. Public parklands and riding and hiking trails which contain public viewing areas are shown on the LUP Park Map. The LUP Public Access Map shows public beach parks and other beach areas accessible to the public that serve as public viewing areas.
Land Use Plan Policy 6.4 states:
Places on, along, within, or visible from scenic roads, trails, beaches, parklands and state waters that offer scenic vistas of the beach and ocean, coastline, mountains, canyons and other unique natural features are considered Scenic Areas. Scenic LCP-4-MAL-22-0043-1 (MMHS Campus Specific Plan)
34 Areas do not include inland areas that are largely developed or built out such as residential subdivisions along the coastal terrace, residential development inland of Birdview Avenue and Cliffside Drive on Point Dume, or existing commercial development within the Civic Center and along Pacific Coast Highway east of Malibu Canyon Road.
Land Use Plan Policy 6.5 states:
New development shall be sited and designed to minimize adverse impacts on scenic areas visible from scenic roads or public viewing areas to the maximum feasible extent. If there is no feasible building site location on the proposed project site where development would not be visible, then the development shall be sited and designed to minimize impacts on scenic areas visible from scenic highways or public viewing areas, through measures including, but not limited to, siting development in the least visible portion of the site, breaking up the mass of new structures, designing structures to blend into the natural hillside setting, restricting the building maximum size, reducing maximum height standards, clustering development, minimizing grading, incorporating landscape elements, and where appropriate, berming.
Land Use Plan Policy 6.7 states:
The height of structures shall be limited to minimize impacts to visual resources. The maximum allowable height, except for beachfront lots, shall be 18 feet above existing or finished grade, whichever is lower. On beachfront lots, or where found appropriate through Site Plan Review, the maximum height shall be 24 feet (flat roofs) or 28 feet (pitched roofs) above existing or finished grade, whichever is lower.
Chimneys and rooftop antennas may be permitted to extend above the permitted height of the structure.
Land Use Plan Policy 6.12 states:
All new structures shall be sited and designed to minimize impacts to visual resources by:
a. Ensuring visual compatibility with the character of surrounding areas. b. Avoiding large cantilevers or understories.
c. Setting back higher elements of the structure toward the center or uphill portion of the building.
The following Local Implementation Plan (LIP) sections are specifically applicable in this case:
LIP Section 3.9(A)(1), in relevant part, states:
a. Structures shall not exceed a maximum height of 18 feet above natural or finished grade, whichever results in a lower building height, except for chimneys, rooftop antenna, and light standards. The maximum height of the structure may be LCP-4-MAL-22-0043-1 (MMHS Campus Specific Plan)
35 increased up to 28 feet for a flat or pitched roof if approved through a site plan review pursuant to Section 13.27 of the Malibu LIP.
b. Flagpoles, satellite dishes, safety railings, elevator shafts, stairwells, church spires, and belfries may be increased up to a maximum of 35 feet if approved through a site plan review pursuant to Section 13.27 of the Malibu LIP. Roofmounted mechanical equipment shall be integrated into the roof design, screened, and may project no more than two feet higher than the structure roof height (screens included) if approved through a site plan review pursuant to Section 13.27 of the Malibu LIP.
c. In no event shall the maximum number of stories above grade be greater than two.
…
The Malibu LCP provides for the protection of scenic and visual resources, including views of the beach and ocean, views of mountains and canyons, and views of natural habitat areas. The LCP identifies Scenic Roads, which are those roads within the City that traverse or provide views of areas with outstanding scenic quality that contain striking views of natural vegetation, geology, and other unique natural features, including the beach and ocean. The Malibu LCP requires that new development be sited and designed to minimize adverse impacts on scenic areas visible from scenic roads and public viewing areas.
Where this is not feasible, new development must minimize impacts through siting and design measures. Section 30251 of the Coastal Act, which is incorporated into the Malibu LUP as a policy, requires that “permitted development shall be sited and designed to protect views to and along the ocean and scenic coastal areas, to minimize the alteration of natural landforms, to be visually compatible with the character of surrounding areas, and, where feasible, to restore and enhance visual quality in visually degraded areas.” The area surrounding MMHS Campus is developed as a semi-rural residential neighborhood. The area is characterized by rolling slopes that descend southwesterly towards Zuma Beach. Pacific Coast Highway, a designated Scenic Road, lies between the campus and Zuma Beach. The elevation of the campus site ranges from approximately 100 feet along Morning View Drive on the south side, up to approximately 208 feet on the north side of campus. The campus is developed with facilities associated with a middle and high school, including classrooms and administrative buildings, a swimming pool, tennis courts, parking lots, and sports fields. A large berm separates the high school’s main sports field area from the equestrian park to the east. Public land/public viewing areas include Zuma Beach County Park, approximately 1,400 feet to the south, and National Park Service land, approximately 4,000 feet inland to the north. The Zuma Ridge Trail, which traverses in an east-west direction, is near the National Parks Service Land to the north.
The LIP portion of the City’s amendment proposes to increase the building height standards for campus buildings/structures from a maximum of 28 feet for sloped roofs to a maximum of 45 feet in height from finished grade. Specifically, proposed LIP Section
3.4.6(A)(1) would allow Building H (Theater/Performing Arts) and Building J (High School Gym/Physical Education) to be a maximum of 45 feet above finished grade, Building C LCP-4-MAL-22-0043-1 (MMHS Campus Specific Plan)
36 (High School Building) and Building D (Middle School Gym) a maximum of 36 feet from finished grade. The district has indicated that these building height increases are required to modernize the middle and high school buildings to allow for flexible and creative classroom spaces that are characterized by higher ceilings. The proposed additional height allows for improved ventilation, noise attenuation, and natural lighting. Additionally, the district has indicated that to meet the standards established by the District’s Educational Specifications, the California Interscholastic Federation, and the National Federation of State High School Association, Buildings D, C, H, and J must be 36 feet on average, with the science lab hood ventilation equipment for the science classrooms extending to 41 feet high. The gymnasium and theater/performing arts building are proposed at a maximum of 45 feet.
The project site is set amongst rolling slopes, with buildings and athletic fields on four terraces set into the hillside, each on a slightly higher elevation. The split-level configuration of the campus serves to blend development within the existing terrain of the project site and the surrounding area. The project site is already developed with existing campus facilities and uses, and the redevelopment of existing buildings and parking lots with a similar use in approximately similar locations would not result in a substantial change in the visual character of the area. While building heights would exceed the LCP-required maximum building heights, the proposed buildings would be terraced within the existing topography, would not block scenic views, and will not result in significant adverse visual resource impacts consistent with LUP Policy 6.7.
In addition, Coastal Act Section 30251 requires new development to be sited and designed to protect views to and along the coast, minimize landform alteration, and be visually compatible with the surrounding area. The City carried out a visual analysis of the proposed project and found visibility from designated scenic routes (Pacific Coast Highway) and scenic areas (beaches and trails) is highly limited and obscured by topography, vegetation, and existing development on campus. The proposed buildings are located entirely within an existing developed educational institution and, therefore, will be visually compatible with the character of the surrounding area. Therefore, the Commission finds that the proposed height increases for the proposed development will not result in the obstruction of public views or other impacts to visual resources and is therefore consistent with and adequate to carry out the visual resource protection policies of the LUP.
The MMHS campus redevelopment project will require associated grading for the new development. However, the proposed amendment had no requirements, limitations, or development standards for total grading amounts for the project to ensure the development minimizes landform alteration consistent with Coastal Act Section 30251. To correct the omission of total grading standards for the proposed development, the City has requested that the Commission add a new development standards section under the proposed overlay district (LIP Section 3.4.6(A)(6)) to incorporate total maximum grading amounts that can be allowed for each phase of the campus redevelopment project. This section is incorporated as Suggested Modification Six (6),
For the reasons stated above, the Commission finds that LIP amendment, only if modified as suggested, conforms with, and is adequate to carry out, the policies of the certified Land LCP-4-MAL-22-0043-1 (MMHS Campus Specific Plan)
37 Use Plan, as amended.
LCP Administration
Several proposed revisions relate to the administration of the LCP. Suggested Modifications One (1), Three (3), Four (4), and Suggested Modifications Nine (9) through Twelve (12) include minor modifications to the proposed overlay district amendment language necessary to ensure consistency with the LCP, such as correcting typographical errors and incorrect references, adding the corresponding addresses and assessor parcel numbers to the overlay district text and the creation of a new overlay district map, restoring the underlying zoning designation for the project area under the LIP Zoning Map No. 2, and making minor clarifications that further the intent and implementation of the LCP and avoid ambiguity.
For the reasons stated above, the Commission finds that the LIP amendment, as suggested to be modified herein, will ensure internal LCP consistency and conform with and be adequate to carry out the policies of the certified Land Use Plan.
D. California Environmental Quality Act
Section 21080.9 of the California Public Resources Code—within the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)—exempts local governments from the requirement of preparing an environmental impact report (EIR) in connection with its activities and approvals necessary for the preparation and adoption of a local coastal program.
Instead, the CEQA responsibilities are assigned to the Coastal Commission; however, the Commission's LCP review and approval program has been found by the Resources Agency to be functionally equivalent to the EIR process. Thus, under CEQA Section 21080.5, the Commission is not obligated to prepare an EIR for each LCP action.
Nevertheless, the Commission is required, in approving an LCP submittal, to find that the approval of the proposed LCP, as amended, does conform with CEQA provisions, including the requirement in CEQA section 21080.5(d)(2)(A) that the amended LCP will not be approved or adopted as proposed if there are feasible alternatives or feasible mitigation measures available which would substantially lessen any significant adverse impact which the activity may have on the environment. 14 C.C.R. §§ 13540(f) and 13555(b).
The City’s LCP amendment consists of a Land Use Plan amendment and Local Implementation Plan amendment.
As discussed above, the Land Use Plan amendment has been found not to be in conformance with Chapter 3 policies of the Coastal Act. To resolve the concerns identified, suggested modifications have been made to the proposed amendment. With the incorporation of the suggested modifications, the Land Use Plan amendment is in conformity with the Coastal Act. The proposed Local Implementation Plan amendment is not in conformance with and is not adequate to carry out the Land Use Plan. With the incorporation of the Commission’s suggested modifications, the Local Implementation Plan amendment is in conformity with the Land Use Plan as amended. The suggested LCP-4-MAL-22-0043-1 (MMHS Campus Specific Plan)
38 modifications minimize or mitigate any potentially significant environmental impacts of the LCP amendment. If modified as suggested, the Commission finds that approval of the LCP amendment will not result in significant adverse environmental impacts within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act.
The Commission finds that for the reasons discussed in this report if the LCP amendment is modified as suggested, there are no additional feasible alternatives or feasible mitigation measures available that could substantially reduce any adverse environmental impacts.
The Commission further finds that the proposed LCP amendment, if modified as suggested, is consistent with Section 21080.5(d)(2)(A) of the Public Resources Code.

SUMMARY
Amend the LCP Land Use Plan (LUP) to add the following new ESHA policy. “3.24. The following types of new development and substantial redevelopment, as provided in the Malibu Middle and High School Campus Specific Plan, may provide a 50- foot ESHA buffer, if it does not significantly disrupt the ESHA habitat values:
1. Habitat creation, restoration, and/or enhancement activities;
2. Public accessways, trails, and associated minor improvements;
3. Directional, educational, and interpretive signs;
4. ESHA and creek-related educational uses and viewing platforms;
5. Relocation of existing roads, road rights-of-way, utilities, public infrastructure and facilities, and parking lots in a manner that involves no increase in development footprint for the portion within the habitat buffer area. If the improvement involves relocation, the new site shall be located no closer to ESHAs, wetlands, or creeks than the existing site and shall minimize encroachment into the habitat buffer to the maximum extent feasible;
6. Fuel modification required by the Los Angeles County Fire Department to meet the Fire Code Defensible Space Requirements for existing development in High Fire Hazard Areas; and
7. The following uses may be allowed where the encroachment into the habitat buffer is minimized to the extent feasible, where all feasible mitigation measures have been provided to minimize adverse environmental effects, and the maximum feasible habitat buffer between the development and the habitat is provided:
a. Limited exterior lighting for safety purposes; and
b. Fences necessary for safety, restoration, and protection of habitat.” Amend the LCP Land Use Plan (LUP) as follows:
6.7 The height of structures shall be limited to minimize impacts to visual resources.
The maximum allowable height, except for beachfront lots, shall be 18 feet above existing or finished grade, whichever is lower. On beachfront lots, or where found appropriate through Site Plan Review, the maximum height shall be 24 feet (flat roofs) or 28 feet (pitched roofs) above existing or finished grade, whichever is lower. Chimneys and rooftop antennas may be permitted to extend above the permitted height of the structure. The maximum height for buildings on the MMHS Campus shall be established in the MMHS Campus Specific Plan.
PROPOSED CITY OF MALIBU LOCAL IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
AMENDMENT TEXT SUMMARY
Chapter 3 – Zoning Designations and Permitted Uses
LIP Section 3.4.6 –Specific Plan Overlay District
The Specific plan overlay district is intended to provide for the classification and development of a parcel or parcels of land as a coordinated, comprehensive project that will result in a more desirable development or physical environment than would be possible through the strict application of conventional zoning regulations and standards. All uses within the boundaries of the specific plans listed below shall comply with the provisions of the specific plan in addition to applicable standards in the underlying zone (unless otherwise specified), other provisions of this ordinance, and other provisions of law.
A. Malibu Middle and High School Campus Specific Plan
The Malibu Middle and High School (MMHS) Campus Specific Plan establishes the development standards and plan for the Malibu Middle and High School Campus.
Development on the property covered by the specific plan will be governed by the specific plan guidelines and regulations in addition to applicable standards in the underlying zone (unless otherwise specified), other provisions of this ordinance, and other provisions of law.
The following are the development standards for the MMHS Campus Specific Plan:
1. Height. Except as allowed in this section structures shall not exceed eighteen (18) feet above finished or natural grade, whichever results in lower building height, except for chimneys, rooftop antenna, and light standards. All development proposed above eighteen (18) feet in height must require a Site Plan Review, pursuant to Section 13.27 of the Malibu LIP. Should a Site Plan Review be required, the entire development above eighteen (18) feet, including all roof projections, requires the installation of story poles to ensure private view protection. a. Building C: High School Building shall not exceed a maximum height of thirtysix (36) feet finished grade, except for chimneys, rooftop antenna, and light standards that shall not exceed forty-one (41) feet above approved grading plan. b. Building D: Middle School Gym/Multi-Purpose Room and Structures shall not exceed a maximum height of thirty-six (36) feet finished grade, except for chimneys, rooftop antenna, and light standards that shall not exceed forty (40) feet.
c. Building H: Theater/Performing Arts and shall not exceed a maximum height of forty-five (45) feet above finished grade.
d. Building J: Gym/Physical Education shall not exceed a maximum height of forty-five (45) feet above finished grade.
e. Building L: shall not exceed a maximum height of eighteen (18) feet above finished grade, except for chimneys, rooftop antenna, and light standards that shall not exceed a maximum height of 28 feet.
f. For all other buildings, roof-mounted mechanical equipment shall be integrated into the roof design, screened, and may project no more than two feet higher than the structure roof height (screens included).
g. In no event shall the maximum number of stories above grade be greater than two.
2. Yards/Setbacks.
a. Building placement for Phase 1 shall be as shown on Figure 6, Proposed Site Plan, as approved by City Council. Building Placement for subsequent phases will be considered by the City as part of the site plan review process. b. Any future buildings must comply with the following:
(1) Front yard setbacks shall be ten (10) feet from the street easement. (2) Side yard setbacks shall be five feet
(a) When adjacent to a residentially-zoned parcel(s) along a side yard, the setback shall be increased to ten (10) percent of the lot width or ten (10) feet, whichever is greater.
(b) When adjacent to the ESHA all buildings shall have a 100-foot setback from the ESHA. With the exception of access trails and fencing, and parking, all other improvements shall be setback 50-feet from the ESHA.
(3) Rear yard setbacks shall be five feet; however, when adjacent to a residentially-zoned parcel(s) along the rear yard, the setback shall be increased to fifteen (15) percent of the lot depth or fifteen (15) feet, whichever is greater.
3. Site Development Criteria. All proposed construction within the MMHS Campus Specific Plan shall comply with the following site development standards:
a. Structure Size. The gross floor area of all buildings on a given parcel shall be limited to a maximum Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of 0.15, or fifteen (15) percent of the lot area (excluding slopes equal to or greater than 1:1 and street easements). Additional gross floor area may be approved by the city council, up to the maximum allowed for the parcel under the general plan, where additional significant public benefits and amenities are provided as part of the project.
b. Landscaping and Site Permeability. Twenty-five (25) percent of the lot area (excluding slopes equal to or greater than 1:1 and street easements) shall be devoted to landscaping. The required five-foot landscape buffer around the perimeter of parking areas pursuant to Section 3.14.5 (E)(1) shall count toward the twenty-five (25) percent requirement. An additional five percent of the lot area (excluding slopes equal to or greater than 1:1 and street easements) shall be permeable.
c. Sports field lighting shall be limited to the main sports field and parking lots at Malibu High School. All new outdoor lighting shall adhere to the standards of Malibu Local Coastal Program Local Implementation Plan Sections 4.6.2 and
6.5.G
d. All parking areas within the 100-foot ESHA area shall be paved with permeable pavement, to allow stormwater runoff to infiltrate into the soil below.
Suspended paving systems shall be constructed below the permeable paving to treat and slow stormwater runoff before it reaches the ESHA. The system shall be designed to provide treatment and storage for stormwater but also promote healthy tree growth within parking areas.
5. Wayfinding and Informational Signage
The following describes the types of allowed signs pursuant to the MMHS Campus Specific Plan:
a. Building Identification Signs. All buildings will have non-illuminated identification signs mounted flush to the wall to comply with public safety requirements.
b. Marquee signs. Two double-sided monument signs would be allowed on Morning View Drive. The monument signs would be a maximum of five feet tall and contain an LED display screen, 10 mm pixel spacing with dimmable brightness that is oriented perpendicular to Morning View Drive facing east. The signs would be placed on concrete wall support and have an internally illuminated logo and must be turned off within one-half hour of all school events.
6. Permitted Uses in ESHA Buffer
New development and substantial redevelopment as provided in the Malibu Middle and High School Campus Specific Plan may be allowed in the 100-foot ESHA buffer, but in no case closer than than 50 feet as shown on MMHS Campus Specific Plan ESHA Restoration Map Nos. 1, 2, and 3 of the Malibu LIP, if it does not significantly disrupt the habitat values of ESHA and may include:
1. ESHA and creek-related educational uses and viewing platforms;
2. Relocation of existing roads, road rights-of-way, utilities, public infrastructure and facilities, and Parking Lots D and E as depicted on the Proposed Site Plan MMHS Campus Specific Plan of the Malibu LIP. The redevelopment shall be accomplished in a manner that involves no increase in development footprint for the portion within the habitat buffer area. If the improvement involves relocation, the new site shall be located no closer to ESHAs, wetlands, or creeks than the existing site and shall minimize encroachment into the habitat buffer to the maximum extent feasible;
3. Fuel modification required by the State Fire Marshall to meet the Fire Code Defensible Space Requirements for existing development in High Fire Hazard Areas; and
4. The following uses may be allowed where the encroachment into the habitat buffer is minimized to the extent feasible, where all feasible mitigation measures have been provided to minimize adverse environmental effects, and the maximum feasible habitat buffer between the development and the habitat is provided:
a. Limited exterior lighting for safety purposes; and
b. Fences necessary for safety, restoration, and protection of habitat.
7. ESHA Restoration Plan
The ESHA Restoration Plan shall be implemented as part of Phase 1 of the MMHS Campus Specific Plan and completed by Phase 4 as specified in the plan. Work shall be completed as shown on “ESHA Restoration Map Nos. 1, 2, and 3.” As a condition of approval of, and prior to issuance of a coastal development permit for Phase I of the Malibu Middle and High School Campus Specific Plan, a phased ESHA Restoration Plan shall be submitted for review and approval by the City Biologist.
During Phase 1 of the MMHS Campus Specific Plan, demolition of hardscape within the 100-foot buffer of the downstream area would occur. Restoration activities that would occur within the entire reach include weed abatement, broadcast of native seed and planting of native stock and invasive plant controls. Bank stability improvements and erosion control would occur in the upstream and downstream portions of the ESHA during Phase 1, which include the proposed pedestrian trail and new drive aisles.
Demolition of developed areas within the 100-foot buffer of the upstream and middle stream area would occur during Phase 4, as the Bus Barn and other existing structures would remain operational until Phase 4 commences. Upon completion of Phase 4, the pedestrian trail would be completed and connect to existing trails on the campus.
Any proposed changes to the ESHA Restoration Plan on file with the City must be approved by the City Biologist in consultation with the California Coastal Commission Biologist.
Chapter 3 – Signs
Modify LIP Section 3.15.3(J) – Prohibited Signs.
Automatic changing signs or electronic message center signs, except for public service time and temperature signs, and public safety signs such as changeable traffic message signs, except as otherwise provided allowed by the Malibu Middle and High School Campus Specific Plan.
