Date prepared: November 9, 2023 Meeting date: November 27, 2023 Subject: Film Society Grant Update
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Receive and file an update on the proposed Film Society grant.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended action.
STRATEGIC PRIORITY: This item is part of the day-to-day operations identified in the Adopted FY 2023-24 Strategic Priority Project List. If Council wishes to continue to pursue this program, then this will be a new project that was not included in the Adopted FY 2023- 24 Strategic Priority Project List. At the Council’s direction, this project can be brought back at a future Strategic Planning meeting for prioritization.
DISCUSSION: On May 8, 2023, Councilmembers Silverstein and Grisanti presented the concept of an $85,000 film society grant to fund free membership/admission for Malibu Residents who attend the Malibu Film Society Film (MSF) Festival. The discussion resulted in giving direction to Staff to investigate the concept of developing a Film Society Grant program and return with a draft consent agreement.
Since then, staff has been informed by MFS that the Malibu Pacific Church location identified to host the Film Society events is no longer available to MFS. The grant concept was addressed when Staff brought it to the County Library Administration group to determine if they could support using Library Set Aside funds for the Film Society Grant program, and it was opined that the funds do not have a clear nexus to Libraries. Without a location or funding source, the Film Society Grant concept can no longer be pursued by City Council Meeting

staff as conceived. Should the Council desire to explore other avenues to assist the Film Society, staff will need direction from the Council to do so.
Meanwhile, the Council’s direction stands on its interpretation of Section 17.02.060 of the Malibu Municipal Code to consider “religious facilities” use to include hosting gatherings and/or events sponsored by non-profit organizations which are open to the general public, free to Malibu residents, and limited to no more than 110 additional events per year.
The Council will need to decide where this initiative resides in the Strategic Priority Work Plan. Furthermore, it will likely require policies and amendments to the Conditional Use Permit policy. This is not an exhaustive list as it is likely that there will be other requirements and significant staff time needed to get this program up and running.

Agenda Item # 4.A.
DISCUSSION: On September 11, 2023, the City Council held a public hearing on the proposed ADU amendments, provided direction to staff, and continued the item to a date uncertain. A complete history of the Planning Commission and City Council hearings on the ADU ordinance can be found in the recitals in Exhibits (1, 2, and 3). The following paragraphs are new to this agenda report and discuss the specific items that the Council asked staff to address at the September 11, 2023 meeting. Starting with the Background section in the report, the information is the same as was provided in the September 11, 2023 Council Agenda Report.
At the September 11, 2023 public hearing, the City Council reached a consensus on most of the proposed amendments including adding an owner occupancy requirement in the LCP Local Implementation Plan (LIP). With an owner occupancy requirement, the property owner must reside in either the primary residence or in the ADU. If the City Council votes to add the requirement, the following language could be added to LIP Section 3.10(G):
7. Owner Occupancy. A natural person with legal or title to the property must designate the property, in either the primary dwelling or ADU, as their permanent residence.
The City Council continued the item in order to have additional time to discuss and reach consensus on options for street access, unit size, guest house terminology, and whether there were other regulations that could be added besides roadway width or two means of access to make ADUs safer since the entire City is in a Very High Fire Severity Zone (VHFHSZ).
The proposed language found in the attached Resolution No. 23-42 (Exhibit 1), Ordinance No. 510 (Exhibit 2), and Ordinance No. 511 (Exhibit 3) will be updated based on the final direction from the City Council at the November 27, 2023 hearing. If adopted, the Resolution and Ordinances will update the City’s regulations in the MMC and LCP for second units. Exhibits 4 and 5 are presented in underline/strikethrough format to highlight added and deleted language compared to existing code.
Two means of access – VHFHSZ
When the proposed amendments were last heard by the Planning Commission, they included a provision in the MMC which required a property to have two distinct means of vehicular access (public street), with a minimum of 24 feet in width, to a highway in order to have an ADU. The language required an increase in development standards but did not prohibit an ADU. The majority of the Planning Commission felt a better approach to address fire safety would be to require properties to maintain 20-foot wide streets as required by the Fire Department instead of requiring two means of access with increased development standards. It should be noted, the Fire Department does not currently 2
Agenda Item # 4.A.
review interior remodels (Junior ADUs) nor small additions to residences. However, staff would verify if the parcel has a 20-foot wide street in order to be eligible for an ADU.
At the September 11, 2023 hearing, the City Council felt that prohibiting ADUs on lots that did not have two means of access would be a safer approach but wanted further discussion on the requirement. Requiring two means of street access to a highway would result in at least 80-85 percent of properties in the City not being eligible to add an ADU. Exhibits of all Malibu neighborhoods are included in Exhibit 6. The maps utilize a red-star symbol to indicate which streets only have one means of access. Most canyon roads have only one means of access to a highway and any property located on a culde-sac would have only one means of access.
The requirement to have two distinct means of street access to a highway was intended to ensure that if one street access is blocked by fire, there would be another street that would provide access to a highway. In addition to Pacific Coast Highway, Kanan Dume Road is designated as County Highway N9 and Malibu Canyon Road is County Highway (N1).
Another factor for the City Council to consider is the requirement to have vehicular access be a minimum of 24 feet wide and improved with paving or other all-weather surfacing. Exhibit 7 provides the street widths of all public streets in Malibu. Street widths for private streets are not available. While most public streets have a minimum of 24 ft. of paving, the streets that do not currently have 24 feet of paving do have available rightof-way to widen the street. This would mean, however, that properties that rely on a street with less than 24 feet in width as one of the two means of egress would need to widen the street paving on that street even if the property was not located on that street before they could have an ADU. There are portions of Malibu Road and Morning View Drive that only have 22 feet of paving. If the Council wishes to keep the two means of access requirement without the need to increase the paving on a street, they could consider requiring a paved road width of less than 24 feet.
If the Council wishes to move forward with the two means of access requirement in the MMC, the language would likely not be approved by the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) without evidence that allowing ADUs in the VHFHSZ results in an increased risk to public safety. Staff reviewed HCD letters sent to other jurisdictions that contain similar language and, in each instance, the language was not accepted by HCD.
In a letter to Rancho Palos Verdes1 HCD advised the City that the provision would need to be removed or the City would need to provide evidence that the restriction was necessary to protect public safety. The letter stated that HCD observed that the City’s 1 City of Rancho Palos Verdes - HCD Technical Assistance Letter dated August 29, 2022 3
Agenda Item # 4.A.
General Plan Land Use, Housing, Safety, and Circulation Elements raised no concerns about housing in the VHFHSZ and proposed no housing restrictions or access concerns with regard to fire safety. HCD further indicated the City placed no similar restrictions on the construction or expansion of any other residential structures in the VHFHSZ and the City provided no evidence that its infrastructure was insufficient to handle ADUs or that two distinct means of vehicular access would be necessary in every case where an ADU is added in a VHFHSZ.
The letter also noted that neither the Los Angeles County Fire Department nor Cal Fire recommended that ADUs be limited in the VHFHSZ and that HCD was unaware of any traffic or other studies completed by the City that indicate that the City’s infrastructure is inadequate to support the development of ADUs in the VHFHSZ or that evacuation would be impacted by ADUs in any material way.
This same type of evidence will likely be required before HCD would approve a requirement for two means of access in Malibu given the number of properties that would be prohibited from having an ADU. HCD will also likely require similar evidence if the City requires a 20-foot wide street. Since most ADUs will be processed under the LCP, the staff recommends not adding any additional regulations/restrictions to the MMC. If HCD finds that the City’s ordinance does not comply with State law, the City would need to revise the ordinance which would require additional Planning Commission and City Council hearings which will further delay the adoption of the ADU ordinance. In addition, having a non-compliant ADU ordinance could also impact the timing for the adoption of the Housing Element. HCD will not allow cities to count ADUs towards their Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) unless the City has a compliant ADU ordinance. The Draft Housing Element relies on ADUs to help meet the City’s lowincome housing needs. In addition, if the City adopts an ordinance that HCD deems to be non-compliant with State law, HCD can notify the Office of the Attorney General. (Gov. Code § 65852.2(h).)
Unit Size
For ADUs processed under the MMC, State law sets a minimum size of 850 square feet for a studio or one-bedroom and 1,000 square feet for a two- or more-bedroom unit.
Those minimum structure sizes are included in the MMC to ensure consistency with the State ADU law. In the LCP, the Planning Commission recommended a minimum of 400 square feet and a maximum of 1,200 square feet for an ADU. Establishing a maximum size of 1,200 square feet would be consistent with the square footage allowed for temporary housing for fire rebuilds. LIP Section 3.6(M) and MMC Section
17.40.040(A)(18) provide standards for temporary housing that allow a maximum of 1,200 square feet and provide for the removal of the temporary housing prior to final approval of the residence unless the temporary housing structure is permitted and is 4
Agenda Item # 4.A.
converted into a permanent structure such as an ADU. This provision was included in Ordinance No. 445 which was adopted after the Woolsey Fire.
Other options include a maximum of 1,000 square feet consistent with the maximum in the MMC or 900 square feet, the current maximum for second units. If the City Council wishes to reduce the size of an ADU from the proposed 1,200 square feet, for consistency, they may wish to consider utilizing a 1,000 square-foot limit in order to match the maximum size allowed in the MMC. This could help lessen any potential confusion for residents and staff when considering an application for an ADU. In addition, the Council could add a non-conforming clause to the LCP for those fire-build properties that have already converted or intend to convert an existing legally established 1,200-square foot temporary housing to an ADU. The Environmental Sustainability Department has stopped issuing temporary power poles for temporary homes but is likely to issue them again in the future depending on the circumstances. If the City Council wants to add a non-conforming provision, the following language could be included in the amendments:
Non-Conforming Provisions: Properties impacted by the 2018 Woolsey Fire that received a City permit for a temporary housing structure pursuant to LIP Section
3.6(M) (or MMC Section 17.40.040[A][18]) may convert the existing legally established temporary housing to an ADU even if the temporary housing exceeds the square footage limits established by this Chapter. However, (1) such an ADU cannot exceed 1,200 square feet and (2) the building permit for, and construction of, the temporary housing must have occurred before November 27, 2023.
Additional Regulations to Increase Safety
After further analysis, staff has not identified any additional regulations it recommends to be included in the proposed ADU ordinance to increase public safety. As discussed previously, staff is uncertain whether adding additional requirements not specifically provided for in State law would be approved by HCD, especially if the regulation would prohibit ADUs in much of the City. While State law does allow cities to consider public safety in determining where to allow ADUs, the City would need to provide adequate evidence that the regulation would be needed to protect public safety.
Guest House Terminology
The Council requested that staff consider using different terminology for a guest house to better distinguish between a guest house with no kitchen and an ADU with a kitchen.
Staff had originally changed all references to a guest unit to a guest house in an effort to distinguish a guest house from an accessory dwelling unit. Further research confirms that the term guest house is commonly used in other jurisdictions and is also found in other locations in the LCP and MMC. Generally, similar terms for a guest house such as 5
Agenda Item # 4.A.
guest quarters or visitors’ quarters may not help make the distinction whether a kitchen is allowed. However, using the word “quarters” would remove the term “house” from the title which could help distinguish between an ADU. Another means to highlight the difference could include adding the words “no kitchen” in the definition title of a guest house. For instance, the definition could read as follows:
GUEST HOUSE (No Kitchen) - attached or detached living quarters on the same premises as a single-family residence for the use of family members, guests or employees of the occupants of such residence, containing no kitchen facilities and not rented or otherwise used as a separate dwelling. The maximum living area of a guest house shall not exceed nine hundred (900) square feet, including any mezzanine or storage space. A guest house may include a garage not to exceed four hundred (400) sq. ft. The square footage of the garage shall not be included in the maximum living area.
Also, the Title of the section in the LIP and MMC, which provides the development standards for guest houses, could also be revised to read as follows:
LIP Section 3.6. (N)(1) Guest Houses (No Kitchen) -...
MMC Section 17.40.040(A)(21) Guest Houses (No Kitchen) -...
Making these changes would make it easier for both applicants and staff to quickly distinguish between the two housing types.
Background
The City Council initiated LCPA No. 18-002 and ZTA No. 18-004 in June 2018. A variety of factors, including the Woolsey Fire and COVID-19 meeting restrictions, delayed the Planning Commission’s ability to consider the amendments in a timely manner. The Planning Commission held three hearings on the ADU ordinance including a Special Planning Commission hearing on March 14, 2023. At that hearing, the Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the amendments with modifications. A complete history of the Planning Commission and City Council hearings on the ADU ordinance can be found in the recitals in the Exhibits (1, 2, and 3).
During the Commission’s deliberations on March 14, 2023, straw votes were taken over the course of the deliberations and some of the votes were not unanimous, including provisions requiring two means of access and a requirement that property owners be required to report the ADU rental rates as opposed to being asked to report the rates to the City. The Planning Commission recommendations are further discussed below. 6
Agenda Item # 4.A.
In preparation for the City Council hearing, the City Attorney's Office provided recommended changes to the ADU regulations in the MMC. These changes were intended to ensure that the language in the ordinance matches the language in the State ADU statute. These recommended changes resulted in a reorganization of the ordinance and the revision of some sections to ensure the proposed language was narrowly focused on the language used in the statute. These recommended changes did not result in substantial changes from what the Planning Commission approved.
Proposed ADU Ordinance
The proposed language found in Resolution 23-43 (Exhibit 1), Ordinance No. 510 (Exhibit 2) and Ordinance No. 511 (Exhibit 3) will update the City’s regulations for second units. Exhibits 4 and 5 are presented in underline/strikethrough format to highlight added and deleted language compared to existing codes.
In implementing this ADU ordinance the City is seeking to balance the issues relevant to development in the Coastal Zone with the policies put forward by State ADU law. With the proposed amendments, the MMC will include all required State standards and provide for ministerial processing of ADUs consistent with State law. Introductory language in the MMC makes it clear since ADU law does not supersede the Coastal Act, every new ADU will first be subject to analysis for compliance with the LCP before it is reviewed for compliance with the MMC. The proposed LCPA would require attached, detached, and converted (ADUs created from an existing accessory building) to obtain an Administrative Coastal Development Permit (ACDP) and meet the standards set forth in the LCP.
Review and Processing
Second units are currently allowed with an ACDP. The proposed permitting process for ADUs will be the same as for second units under the current code. That process includes requirements for public noticing, reporting Director approvals to the Planning Commission where, by majority vote, the Commission can require a full Coastal Development Permit (CDP), and the ability for the public to appeal the decision of the Director to the Planning Commission and to the City Council, and if the property is within the appeal zone, it may be appealed to the California Coastal Commission (CCC).
If a project does not meet the definition of development per the LCP, then the project would be processed per the MMC. Consistent with State law, there are two options for ADU processing in the MMC (refer to the new MMC Chapter 17.44 in Exhibit 3). First, if a project is one of four specific, limited types, it would be processed with a building permit only. Second, if the ADU does not meet one of those four types, then the ADU would be processed as an Administrative Plan Review (APR). Some ADUs, even if they are not considered development per the LCP, may require upgrades to the Onsite 7
Agenda Item # 4.A.
Wastewater Treatment System (OWTS), which will require a CDP (LIP Section 13.29). In these cases, the APR will be processed separately from the OWTS-only CDP.
Under the proposed ordinance and consistent with California Coastal Commission guidance, ADUs created from a habitable space inside an existing single-family dwelling such as a bedroom (Junior ADU) or inside an existing single-family residence, otherwise known as Internal ADUs are not considered development for purposes of the LCP and as such, will be processed under the MMC as an Administrative Plan Review (APR) which is a Planning Director ministerial project. ADUs proposed in a non-habitable space such as a garage would require an ACDP.
There are no public notice requirements for APRs. However, members of the public may file a “Request for Review” of the APR action to the Planning Director. The purpose is for the Planning Director to conduct a second review of the action. Pursuant to MMC
17.04.220, an appeal to the Planning Commission cannot be made unless a Site Plan Review for height or reduction of setbacks is proposed with the project. In the case of an ADU proposed for an existing single-family house, height and setbacks would remain the same.
State law allows both a Junior ADU (JADU) and an ADU to be built on the same property. While there could be an increase in cases where someone wants both a JADU and an ADU, staff has no way of determining which properties might choose to build both. As required by State law, JADUs are subject to an owner-occupancy requirement.
The property owner would need to reside in either the JADU or the main residence in order to have a JADU. An ADU that is permitted after January 1, 2020, but before January 1, 2025, is not subject to any owner-occupancy requirement. Unless applicable law requires otherwise, all ADUs that are permitted on or after January 1, 2025 are subject to an owner-occupancy requirement.
Short-Term Rentals (STRs)
ADUs permitted ministerially under MMC Section 17.44.060(A) must be rented for terms longer than 30 days2. For ADUs not processed pursuant to MMC Section 17.44.060(A), State ADU law provides that cities may require that an ADU be used for rentals of terms longer than 30 days. The proposed LCPA and MMC prohibit STRs in ADUs in all instances. While the City’s STR ordinance, considered but not approved by the CCC, did not prohibit STRs in ADUs, the Planning Commission expressed that since ADU laws were intended to increase the amount of long-term housing, STRs should be prohibited in ADUs.
2 Gov. Code, §65852.2, subds. (a)(6) and (e)(4)
8
Agenda Item # 4.A.
ADUs processed under the MMC and LCP would be required to record a deed restriction. Currently, staff has been addition a condition of approval requiring a deed restriction when a project proposes a second unit, restricting a property to only one second unit meeting the definition of LIP Section 2.1. The LCPA and ZTA proposes additional deed restrictions as part of the ADU Ordinance that will require the property to comply with restrictions such as restrictions against sold separate from the primary dwelling, restrictions against renting ADUs for less than 30 days, and restrictions against increasing the approved size of an ADU without City approval among others.
Relationship to Housing Element and Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA)
The Housing and Community Development (HCD) direction on updating housing elements as it relates to ADUs indicates housing elements must include a description of zoning available to permit ADUs, including development standards and analysis of potential constraints on the development of ADUs. The element must include programs as appropriate to address identified constraints. Cities can use ADUs to meet up to 15 percent of their RHNA. As part of the Housing Element, a jurisdiction must include an analysis of the anticipated affordability of ADUs in order to determine which RHNA income category (very low, low, moderate, and above moderate) they should be counted toward.
The ADU Ordinance includes a requirement that property owners report the actual rent charged for an ADU to assist the City in identifying sites to meet RHNA. Language in the draft ordinance “asked” the property owner to provide the rental information but a majority of the Planning Commissioners voted to “require” the property owner to report the information. In a recent discussion with HCD, they indicated they would accept the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) formula for determining ADU affordability for the City’s RHNA.
As part of the 6th Cycle (2021-2029) Housing Element process, SCAG conducted an affordability analysis3 for determining affordability in order to provide local governments in the SCAG region with assumptions for ADU affordability that can be used to assign ADUs to income categories. Efforts were made to reflect the geographic distribution, size, and other characteristics of ADUs across the various counties/subregions. Los Angeles County is separated into two categories to better account for the disparities in housing costs between coastal and inland jurisdictions. The City’s 6th Cycle Housing Element is currently being updated in response to HCD comments and will rely upon the SCAG formula to determine affordability.

Agenda Item # 4.A.
Development Standards
The proposed development standards for ADUs in the MMC and LCP are summarized below.
Unit Size
For ADUs processed under the MMC, state law sets a minimum size of 850 square feet for a studio or one-bedroom and 1,000 square feet for a two- or more-bedroom unit.
Those minimum structure sizes are included in the MMC to ensure consistency with the State ADU law.
In the LCP, the Planning Commission recommended a minimum of 400 square feet and a maximum of 1,200 square feet for an ADU. Establishing a maximum size of 1,200 square feet would be consistent with the square footage allowed for temporary housing for fire rebuilds. After the Woolsey Fire, the Council adopted Ordinance No. 445 which allowed fire rebuild applicants to place temporary housing on their properties with a trailer or fabricated structure not to exceed 1,200 square feet4. That decision was made to ensure a trailer or other prefabricated structures could be placed on the property to accommodate the residents comfortably until they were able to rebuild their homes.
Some residents invested in prefabricated temporary homes that could potentially be permitted as ADUs after the rebuild of their homes. Currently, second units are limited to 900 square feet in size.
Height
The proposed allowed height for an ADU in the MMC is 16 feet above existing or finished grade, whichever results in the lower building height. A detached ADU may be up to 18 feet in height if it is created on a lot with an existing or proposed dwelling located within one-half mile from a major transit stop or is a detached ADU created on a lot with an existing or proposed multifamily dwelling. An ADU that is attached to the primary dwelling may not exceed 25 feet in height or the height limitation imposed by the underlying zone that applies to the primary dwelling, whichever is lower.
For the LCP, the Planning Commission recommended a height limit of 16 feet above grade as measured from existing or finished grade, whichever results in the lower building height. The Director may allow heights up to 24 feet with a Site Plan Review.
When a legally established accessory structure is demolished and replaced with a new structure for the purposes of creating an ADU, the replacement structure may not 4 The temporary housing regulations were placed in MMC Section 17.40,040.A.18. 10
Agenda Item # 4.A.
exceed 18 feet in height. The current allowed height for a second unit is 18 feet and up to 24 feet for a flat roof and 28 feet for a pitched roof with a Site Plan Review.
The Commission also agreed to make the existing language in the LCP limiting a second story to 2/3rds of the first-story consistent with the language in the MMC. Since the language in the MMC is the most restrictive and is currently used by staff when determining 2/3rds, staff revised the 2/3rds language in the LCP to be consistent with the MMC language. The language in both documents would now indicate that the “second floor area plus the area of vaulted ceilings above eighteen (18) feet in height shall not exceed two-thirds the first-floor area...”. Having consistent language in both documents will avoid any questions or confusion in the future. This revised language would apply to both ADUs and single-family dwellings.
Setbacks
Consistent with State law, in the MMC, the proposed side and rear setback for ADUs is four (4) feet. In the ordinance considered by the Planning Commission a five (5) foot side and rear setbacks were required on properties without two means of access to a highway. The Planning Commission requested that staff add a cross reference between the two sections to avoid confusion; however, the section relative to having two means of access was deleted consistent with the Planning Commission direction to utilize street width as the criteria to determine whether a property can have an ADU or increased development standards were required so a cross reference was no longer needed. In the LCP, detached, attached, and converted ADUs must meet the current setback requirements for a second unit.
Parking
The parking requirement for an ADU is one space, which is consistent with the existing second unit regulations. This parking requirement would be the same in both the MMC and LCP. Consistent with State law, parking is not required for JADUs which would be processed under the MMC.
At its March 7, 2022 meeting, based on concern about the cumulative impact of allowing ADUs, the Planning Commission requested additional studies and referrals. On August 22, 2022, the City Council considered the request and directed staff to minimize changes to the LCP by utilizing most of the existing second unit regulations, which currently protect coastal resources and public access.
In order to be consistent with State law, the proposed MMC modifications do not require replacement parking for a converted garage and also include other exceptions to provide parking. One such parking exemption is that no parking is required when an ADU is located within 0.5-mile walking distance of public transit. These exceptions have been 11
Agenda Item # 4.A.
removed from the LCPA per the Planning Commission's recommendation. ADUs processed under the LCP will require replacement parking.
After staff updated the proposed ordinance to make parking and other development standards consistent with existing second unit regulations, Coastal Commission staff reviewed the revised draft and indicated that the City should, where appropriate, try to harmonize the LIP changes with State ADU law, not just for parking requirements but other development standards as well.
The Planning Commission expressed that since the City was entirely within in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone (VHFHSZ) there should be no exemptions or exceptions for providing on-site parking or reducing other development standards.
Road Width - VHFHSZ
The proposed ordinance reviewed by the Planning Commission included language that required an increase in development standards, but did not prohibit an ADU, on lots that did not have two means of access with at least 24 feet in width to a highway. This language was similar to language in the Los Angeles County North Area Plan but in that code, ADUs were prohibited on properties that did not have two means of access with 24 feet in width to a highway. This same language is not included in the Santa Monica Mountains LCP which covers the County area directly abutting the City in the coastal zone. The Santa Monica Mountains LCP uses different standards for allowing ADUs such as distance from Pacific Coast Highway and the steepness of slopes on a property.
Vehicular access must be from a street with a right of way of at least 60 feet.
The majority of the Planning Commission felt a better approach to address fire safety would be to follow existing Los Angeles County Fire Department requirements which require a 20-foot-wide width for roads serving two dwelling units.
ADUs on Multifamily Properties
The proposed LCPA would not allow ADUs located inside multifamily dwellings. An ADU must have its own separate entrance. The proposed LCPA also prohibits ADUs attached to a multifamily structure but allows detached ADUs with an ACDP. The MMC has similar provisions as detached ADUs are allowed in the same manner as a detached ADU on a property with a single-family dwelling but ADUs, including a JADU, are not allowed inside a multifamily dwelling. ADUs are allowed in the non-habitable portions of a multifamily building such as a garage or storage area. Since increasing the number of dwelling units on existing multifamily properties in the City, especially if those units removed existing parking, would have a negative impact to both onsite wastewater systems and available parking, the proposed LCPA would not allow conversion of nonhabitable portions of a building to ADUs. 12
Agenda Item # 4.A.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21080.9, California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) does not apply to activities and approvals by the City as necessary for the preparation and adoption of an LCP amendment. This application is for an amendment to the LCP, which must be certified by the CCC before it takes effect. LIP Section 1.3.1 states that the provisions of the LCP take precedence over any conflict between the LCP and the City’s Zoning Ordinance. In order to prevent inconsistency between the LCP and the City’s Zoning Ordinance, if the LCP amendment is approved, the City must also approve the corollary amendment to the Zoning Ordinance. This amendment is necessary for the preparation and adoption of the LCPA and because they are entirely dependent on, related to, and duplicative of the exempt activity, they are subject to the same CEQA exemption.
In addition, the project is exempt from the requirements of CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 21080.17, which states that the CEQA does not apply to the adoption of local ordinances regulating the construction of second units and by CEQA Section 15282(h) that exempts adoption of an ordinance regarding second units in single-family and multifamily residential zones.
Furthermore, the Planning Director has analyzed the proposed amendments. CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 1 5061(b)(3), where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. The Planning Director determined that the proposed amendments are required by State law and will not result in changes from existing development standards, such as density limits and environmental resource protection standards; consequently, there is no possibility the amendment will have a significant effect on the environment and accordingly, and the exemption set forth in Section 15061(b)(3) applies.
PUBLIC NOTICE: On October 19, 2023, a Notice of Public Hearing was published in a newspaper of general circulation within the City of Malibu and mailed to all interested parties (Exhibit 8).

SECTION 2. Environmental Review.
Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21080.9, California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) does not apply to activities and approvals by the City as necessary for the preparation and adoption of an LCP amendment. This application is for an amendment to the LCP, which must be certified by the California Coastal Commission (CCC) before it takes effect. LCP Local Implementation Plan (LIP) Section 1.3.1 states that the provisions of the LCP take precedence over any conflict between the LCP and the City’s Zoning Ordinance. In order to prevent inconsistency between the LCP and the City’s Zoning Ordinance, if the LCP amendment is approved, the City must also approve the corollary amendment to the Zoning Ordinance. This amendment is necessary for the preparation and adoption of the LCPA and because they are entirely dependent on, related to, and duplicative of the exempt activity, they are subject to the same CEQA exemption.
In addition, the project is exempt from the requirements of the CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 21080.17, which states that the CEQA does not apply to the adoption of local ordinances regulating construction of second units and by CEQA Section 15282(h) that exempts adoption of an ordinance regarding second units in single-family and multifamily residential zones.
Furthermore, the City Council has analyzed the proposed amendments. CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 1 5061(b)(3), where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. The City Council determined that the proposed amendments are required by State law and will not result in changes from existing development standards, such as density limits and environmental resource protection standards; consequently, there is no possibility the amendment will have a significant effect on the environment and accordingly, and the exemption set forth in Section 15061(b)(3) applies.
SECTION 3. Local Coastal Program Findings.
Based on evidence contained within the record, including the agenda reports for and the hearings on September 11 and November 27, 2023, the City Council hereby finds that the proposed amendment meets the requirements of, and is in conformance with, the policies and requirements of Chapter 3 of the California Coastal Act.
17 Resolution No. 23-43
_____________________
A. The amendments to the LCP meet the requirements of, and are in conformance with the goals, objectives and purposes of the LCP. Updated development standards specific to accessory dwelling units ensure that development of affordable housing may occur in compliance with State housing element law, while maintaining standards to require that uses within the City’s jurisdiction of the Coastal Zone advance the overarching goal of protecting coastal resources.
B. As a part of the LIP, the updated accessory dwelling unit development standards ensure that future development projects and land uses within specific zoning districts conform to applicable LCP policies, goals, and provisions, while taking into consideration the protection and enhancement of visual resources, public access, and recreation opportunities. Incorporating specific requirements for accessory dwelling units achieves LIP Sections 1.2(D) and (G) (guides future growth and development), LIP Section 1.2(F) (promotes public health, safety, and general welfare), and LIP Section 1.2(K) (assures adequate public uses, facilities, and improvements).

B. Paragraph 4 of A(2). Land Use Plan Provisions of LUP Chapter 5, is amended to read as follows. All other paragraphs remain the same.
The LUP policies address new residential development. The maximum number of structures allowed in a residential development is one main residence, one accessory dwelling unit or one guest house, and additional accessory structures provided that all such structures are located within the approved development area and clustered to minimize required fuel modification, landform alteration, and removal of native vegetation.
C. Policies 5.21, 5.22, 5.23, and 5.24 of LUP Chapter 5 are amended to read as follows:

A. Purpose. The purpose of this section is to allow and regulate ADUs in compliance with California Government Code Sections 65852.2 and 65852.22. Because the City of Malibu lies entirely within the Coastal Zone, every ADU application in the City will be subject to an analysis for compliance with the Local Coastal Program (LCP) and Coastal Act. State law is explicit about the Coastal Act not being preempted by the State’s ADU statute (Government Code Section 65852.2, subdivision (j).) The entire City of Malibu is located in a designated “Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone”, and this section ensures that ADUs are developed and operated on adequate sites, at proper and desirable locations, and that the goals and objectives of the LCP are met.
B. Effect of Conforming. An ADU that conforms to the standards in this section will be:

requirements, within 90 days after each yearly anniversary of the issuance of the building permit, the owner shall report the actual rent charged for the ADU during the prior year.
5. No Separate Conveyance. An ADU may be rented, but no ADU may be sold or otherwise conveyed separately from the lot and the primary dwelling (in the case of a single-family lot) or from the lot and all of the dwellings (in the case of a multi-family lot).
6. Septic System. If the ADU is required to connect to an onsite wastewater treatment system, the owner must include a percolation test completed within the last five years with the ADU application or, if the percolation test has been recertified, within the last 10 years. The ADU shall comply with all applicable requirements for wastewater treatment systems.
7. Deed Restriction. Prior to issuance of a building permit for an ADU, a deed restriction must be recorded against the title of the property in the County Recorder’s office and a copy filed with the Director. The deed restriction must run with the land and bind all future owners. The form of the deed restriction will be provided by the City and must provide that:
a. The ADU may not be sold separately from the primary dwelling. b. The ADU must remain an ADU unless City approval is obtained to convert the structure to a different accessory structure.

The deed restriction is enforceable by the Director or his or her designee for the benefit of the City. Failure of the property owner to comply with the deed restriction may result in legal action against the property owner, and the City is authorized to obtain any remedy available to it at law or equity, including, but not limited to, obtaining an injunction enjoining the use of the ADU in violation of the recorded restrictions or abatement of the illegal unit.
H. ADU Development Standards. The following development standards apply to ADUs. All requirements of the Malibu LIP that are consistent with the criteria listed below shall remain in effect. If there is a conflict between the standards of this Section 3.10(G) and standards that 30 Ordinance No. 510

ORDINANCE NO. 511
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF MALIBU APPROVING ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT NO. 18-004 AN AMENDMENT TO TITLE 17 (ZONING) OF
THE MALIBU MUNICIPAL CODE TO UPDATE ACCESSORY DWELLING
UNIT REGULATIONS AND DETERMINING THE AMENDMENTS ARE
EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
The City Council of the City of Malibu does ordain as follows.
SECTION 1. Recitals.
A. On June 11, 2018, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 18-28 to: 1) initiate Local Coastal Program (LCP) Amendment No. 18-002 and Zoning Text Amendment (ZTA) No. 18-004, to update accessory dwelling unit regulations consistent with State law, and 2) direct the Planning Commission to schedule a public hearing regarding the ZTA and provide a recommendation to the Council whether to approve, modify, or reject the amendment.
B. On July 17, 2018, the Zoning Ordinance Revision and Code Enforcement Subcommittee (ZORACES) met to discuss the proposed amendments to the MMC and LCP and recommended that the City’s existing second unit regulations be updated consistent with Accessory Dwelling Unit State law.

F. Between October 2018 and February 2020, the proposed amendments were noticed to be considered by the Planning Commission, however, the hearings were rescheduled.
G. On March 16, 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all public hearings scheduled for the March 16, 2020 Regular Planning Commission were continued to the April 6, 2020 Regular Planning Commission meeting.
H. On April 6, 2020, the Planning Commission continued the public hearing to a date uncertain.
36 Ordinance No. 511
____________________

J. On December 6, 2021, the Planning Commission continued the public hearing to the January 18, 2022 Regular Planning Commission meeting.
K. On January 18, 2022, the Planning Commission continued the public hearing to the March 7, 2022 Regular Planning Commission meeting.

M. On August 22, 2022, the City Council discussed the additional studies and referrals requested by the Planning Commission and directed staff to 1) minimize changes to the Local Coastal Program by utilizing most of the existing second unit regulations, which currently protect coastal resources and public access, to revise the proposed ADU ordinance, and 2) refer the item back to the Planning Commission without the requested studies or referrals since they wouldn’t be needed at this time if the City utilizes current second unit regulations in the ADU ordinance.

O. On March 14, 2023, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on the proposed ADU ordinance (LCPA 18-002 and ZTA No.18-004), reviewed and considered the agenda report, reviewed and considered written reports, public testimony, and other information on the record and recommended approval of the amendments with some modifications.

U. On November 27, 2023, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing on the proposed ADU amendment on LCPA 18-002 and ZTA No 18-004, reviewed and considered the agenda report, reviewed and considered written reports, public testimony, and other information on the record.
SECTION 2. Environmental Review.
Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21080.9, California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) does not apply to activities and approvals by the City as necessary for the preparation and adoption of an LCP amendment. This application is for an amendment to the LCP, which must be certified by the California Coastal Commission (CCC) before it takes effect. LCP Local Implementation Plan (LIP) Section 1.3.1 states that the provisions of the LCP take precedence over any conflict between the LCP and the City’s Zoning Ordinance. In order to prevent inconsistency between the LCP and the City’s Zoning Ordinance, if the LCP amendment is approved, the City must also approve the corollary amendment to the Zoning Ordinance. This amendment is necessary for the preparation and adoption of the LCPA and because they are entirely dependent on, related to, and duplicative of the exempt activity, they are subject to the same CEQA exemption.
In addition, the project is exempt from the requirements of the CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 21080.17, which states that the CEQA does not apply to the adoption of local ordinances regulating construction of second units and by CEQA Section 15282(h) that exempts adoption of an ordinance regarding second units in single-family and multifamily residential zones.
Furthermore, the City Council has analyzed the proposed amendments. CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 1 5061(b)(3), where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. The City Council determined that the proposed amendments are required by State law and will not result in changes from existing development standards, such as density limits and environmental resource protection standards; consequently, there is no possibility the amendment will have a significant effect on the environment and accordingly, and the exemption set forth in Section 15061(b)(3) applies.
SECTION 3. Zoning Text Amendment Findings.
Based on evidence contained within the record, including the agenda reports for and the hearings on September 11 and November 27, 2023, pursuant to Malibu Municipal Code Section 17.74.040, the City Council hereby makes the following findings:
A. The subject zoning text amendment is consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses and programs specified in the General Plan. The proposed amendment serves to 38 Ordinance No. 511
____________________
enhance the Malibu General Plan Mission Statement, protect public safety and preserve Malibu’s natural and cultural resources.
B. The City Council held a public hearing, reviewed the subject zoning text amendment application for compliance with the City of Malibu General Plan, Malibu Municipal Code and the Malibu Local Coastal Program, and finds that the zoning text amendment is consistent and recommends approval.
SECTION 4. Zoning Text Amendment No. 12-002, Amendments to the Malibu Municipal Code (MMC).
The City Council hereby amends Title 17 - Zoning in the MMC as follows:
O. Add Chapter 17.44 (Accessory Dwelling Units) to read as follows:

To facilitate the City’s obligation to identify adequate sites in accordance with Government Code Sections 65583.1 and 65852.2, and to allow ADUs to count towards the City’s Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) requirements, within 90 days after each January 1 following issuance of the building permit, the owner shall report the actual rent charged for the ADU or JADU during the prior year.
C. No Separate Conveyance. An ADU or JADU may be rented, but, except as otherwise provided in Government Code section 65852.26, no ADU or JADU may be sold or otherwise conveyed separately from the lot and the primary dwelling (in the case of a single-family lot) or from the lot and all of the dwellings (in the case of a multi-family lot). 43 Ordinance No. 511
____________________
D. Septic System. If the ADU or JADU will connect to an onsite water treatment system, the owner must include with the application a percolation test completed within the last five years or, if the percolation test has been recertified, within the last 10 years.
E. Fire Sprinklers.
1. Fire sprinklers are required in an ADU if sprinklers are required in the primary residence.
2. The construction of an ADU does not trigger a requirement for fire sprinklers to be installed in the existing primary dwelling.
F. Owner Occupancy.
1. An ADU that is permitted after January 1, 2020, but before January 1, 2025, is not subject to any owner-occupancy requirement.
2. Unless applicable law requires otherwise, all ADUs that are permitted on or after January 1, 2025 are subject to an owner-occupancy requirement. A natural person with legal or equitable title to the property must reside on the property as the person’s legal domicile and permanent residence.
3. As required by State law, all JADUs are subject to an owner-occupancy requirement.
A natural person with legal or equitable title to the property must reside on the property, in either the primary dwelling or JADU, as the person’s legal domicile and permanent residence. However, the owner-occupancy requirement of this paragraph does not apply if the property is entirely owned by another governmental agency, land trust, or housing organization.
G. Deed Restriction. Prior to issuance of a building permit for an ADU or JADU, a deed restriction must be recorded against the title of the property in the County Recorder’s office and a copy filed with the Director. The deed restriction must run with the land and bind all future owners. The form of the deed restriction will be provided by the City and must provide that:
1. Except as otherwise provided in Government Code Section 65852,26, the ADU or JADU may not be sold separately from the primary dwelling.
2. The ADU or JADU must remain an ADU unless City approval is obtained to convert the structure to a different accessory structure.
3. An ADU or JADU created cannot be rented for less than 30 days.
4. The ADU or JADU is restricted to the approved size.
44 Ordinance No. 511
____________________
5. The JADU must be reconverted to be part of the primary residence if the owner does not reside on the property.
6. The deed restriction runs with the land and may be enforced against future property owners.
7. The deed restriction may be removed if the owner eliminates the ADU or JADU, as evidenced by, for example, removal of the kitchen facilities. To remove the deed restriction, an owner may make a written request of the Director, providing evidence that the ADU or JADU has in fact been eliminated. The Director may then determine whether the evidence supports the claim that the ADU or JADU has been eliminated.
Appeal may be taken from the Director’s determination consistent with other provisions of this Code. If the ADU or JADU is not entirely physically removed but is only eliminated by virtue of having a necessary component of an ADU or JADU removed, the remaining structure and improvements must otherwise comply with applicable provisions of this Code.
8. The deed restriction is enforceable by the Director or his or her designee for the benefit of the City. Failure of the property owner to comply with the deed restriction may result in legal action against the property owner, and the City is authorized to obtain any remedy available to it at law or equity, including, but not limited to, obtaining an injunction enjoining the use of the ADU or JADU in violation of the recorded restrictions or abatement of the illegal unit.
H. Building and Safety.
1. Must comply with building code. Subject to subsection (H)(2) below, all ADUs and JADUs must comply with all local building code requirements.
2. No change of occupancy. Construction of an ADU does not constitute a Group R occupancy change under the local building code, as described in Section 310 of the California Building Code, unless the building official or Code Enforcement Division officer makes a written finding based on substantial evidence in the record that the construction of the ADU could have a specific, adverse impact on public health and safety. Nothing in this subsection (H)(2) prevents the city from changing the occupancy code of a space that was uninhabitable space or that was only permitted for nonresidential use and was subsequently converted for residential use in accordance with this section
I. Height.
1. No ADU subject to this Chapter may exceed 16 feet in height above grade, as measured from existing or finished legal grade, whichever results in the lower building height except as provided in subsection B.2. though B.5
45 Ordinance No. 511
____________________
2. A detached ADU may be up to 18 feet in height if it is created on a lot with an existing or proposed single-family or multifamily dwelling unit that is located within one-half mile walking distance of a major transit stop as those terms are defined in Section 21155 of the Public Resources Code, and the ADU may be up to two additional feet in height (for a maximum of 20 feet) if necessary to accommodate a roof pitch on the ADU that is aligned with the roof pitch of the primary dwelling unit.
3. A detached ADU created on a lot with an existing or proposed multifamily dwelling that has more than one story above grade may not exceed 18 feet in height.
4. An ADU that is attached to the primary dwelling may not exceed 25 feet in height or the height limitation imposed by the underlying zone that applies to the primary dwelling, whichever is lower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, ADUs subject to this subsection (B)(4) may not exceed two stories.

51 Exhibit 4
2 CHAPTER 5—NEW DEVELOPMENT
2. Land Use Plan Provisions
The LUP provides parameters for new development within the City. The Land Use Plan Map designates the allowable land use, including type, maximum density and intensity, for each parcel.
Land use types include local commercial, visitor serving commercial, residential, institutional, recreational, and open space. The LUP describes the allowable uses in each category.
The commercial development policies provide for pedestrian and bicycle circulation to be provided within new commercial projects in order to minimize vehicular traffic. Visitor serving commercial uses shall be allowed in all commercial zones in the City and shall be given priority over other non-coastal dependent development. Parking facilities approved for office or other commercial developments shall be permitted to be used for public beach parking on weekends and other times when the parking is not needed for the approved uses.
The LUP encourages and provides for the preparation of a specific plan or other comprehensive plan for the Civic Center area. The Land Use Plan Map designates this area for Community Commercial, General Commercial, and Visitor- Serving Commercial uses. By preparing a Specific Plan a wider range and mix of uses, development standards, and design guidelines tailored to the unique characteristics of the Civic Center could be provided for this area as a future amendment to the LCP.
The LUP policies address new residential development. The maximum number of structures allowed in a residential development is one main residence, one second residential structure accessory dwelling unit or one guest house, and additional accessory structures provided that all such structures are located within the approved development area and clustered to minimize required fuel modification, landform alteration, and removal of native vegetation.
The LUP provides for a lot retirement program designed to minimize the individual and cumulative impacts of the potential buildout of existing parcels that are located in ESHA or other constrained areas and still allow for new development and creation of parcels in areas with fewer constraints.
This includes the Transfer of Development Credit (TDC) Program, and an expedited reversion to acreage process. The TDC program will be implemented on a region-wide basis, including the City as well as the unincorporated area of the Santa Monica Mountains within the Coastal Zone.
New development that results in the creation of new parcels, or multi-family development that includes more than one unit per existing parcel, except for affordable housing units, must retire an equivalent number of existing parcels that meet the qualification criteria of the program. Finally, an expedited procedure will be implemented to process reversion to acreage maps.
The LUP policies require that land divisions minimize impacts to coastal resources and public access. Land divisions include subdivisions through parcel or tract map, lot line adjustments, and certificates of compliance. Land divisions are only permitted if they are approved in a coastal development permit. A land division cannot be approved unless every new lot created would contain an identified building site that could be developed consistent with all policies of the LCP.
Land divisions must be designed to cluster development, to minimize landform alteration, to 52 3
minimize site disturbance, and to maximize open space. Any land division resulting in the creation of additional lots must be conditioned upon the retirement of development credits (TDCs) at a ratio of one credit per new lot created. Certificates of compliance must meet all policies of the LCP.
The LUP policies provide for the protection of water resources. New development must provide evidence of an adequate potable water supply. The use of water wells to serve new development must minimize individual and cumulative impacts on groundwater supplies and on adjacent or nearby streams, springs or seeps and their associated riparian habitats. Water conservation shall be promoted. Reclaimed water may be used for approved landscaping, but landscaping or irrigation of natural vegetation for the sole purpose of disposing of reclaimed water is prohibited.
Communication facilities are provided for as a conditional use in all land use designations. All facilities and related support structures shall be sited and designed to protect coastal resources, including scenic and visual resources. Co-location of facilities is required where feasible to avoid the impacts of facility proliferation. New transmission lines and support structures will be placed underground where feasible. Existing facilities should be relocated underground when they are replaced.
Finally, the New Development policies provide for the protection and preservation of archaeological and paleontological resources. Measures to avoid and/or minimize impacts to identified archaeological and paleontological resources must be incorporated into the project and monitoring must be provided during construction to protect resources. h. Design guidelines, including architectural design, lighting, signs, and landscaping. i. Provisions for mixed use development. (Resolution No. 07-04)
6. Residential Development Policies
5.20 All residential development, including land divisions and lot line adjustments, shall conform to all applicable LCP policies, including density provisions. Allowable densities are stated as maximums. Compliance with the other policies of the LCP may further limit the maximum allowable density of development.
5.21 The maximum number of structures permitted in a residential development shall be limited to one main residence, one accessory dwelling unit or guest house, second residential structure and accessory structures such as stable, workshop, gym, studio, pool cabana, office, detached garages, or tennis court provided that all such structures are located within the approved development area and structures are clustered to minimize required fuel modification.
5.22. Second residential units Accessory dwelling units guesthouses, granny units, etc.) shall be limited in size to a maximum of 900 square feet 1,200 square feet. Guest houses shall be limited in size to a maximum of 900 square feet. The maximum square footage shall include the total floor area of all enclosed space, including lofts, mezzanines, and storage areas. Detached g Garages, including garages provided as part of that that are part of a second residential unit accessory dwelling unit or guest house, shall not exceed 400 square feet (two-car) maximum. The area of a 53 4
garage provided as part of a second residential unit guest house or accessory dwelling unit shall not be included in the 900 or 1,200 square foot limit, respectively.
5.23 A minimum of o One onsite enclosed or unenclosed parking space shall be required for the exclusive use of an any second residential unit accessory dwelling unit or guest house.
5.24 New development of an second residential unit accessory dwelling unit or guest house or other accessory structure that includes plumbing facilities shall demonstrate that adequate private sewage disposal can be provided on the project site consistent with all of the policies of the LCP.
5.25 In order to protect the rural character, improvements, which create a suburban atmosphere such as sidewalks and streetlights, shall be avoided in any rural residential designation. 54 5

3.10. ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS
Accessory Dwelling Units - The following regulations shall apply to accessory dwelling units (ADUs) approved under this section.
A. Purpose. The purpose of this section is to allow and regulate ADUs in compliance with California Government Code Sections 65852.2 and 65852.22. Because the City of Malibu lies entirely within the Coastal Zone, every ADU application in the City will be subject to an analysis for compliance with the Local Coastal Program (LCP) and Coastal Act. State law is explicit about the Coastal Act not being preempted by the State’s ADU statute (Government Code Section 65852.2, subdivision (j).) The entire City of Malibu is located in a designated “Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone”, and this section ensures that ADUs are developed and operated on adequate sites, at proper and desirable locations, and that the goals and objectives of the LCP are met.
B. Effect of Conforming. An ADU that conforms to the standards in this section will be:
1. Deemed to be consistent with the City’s General Plan and zoning designation for the lot on which the ADU is located.
2. Deemed not to exceed the allowable density for the lot on which the ADU is located.
3. Considered not to be subject to the application of any local ordinance, policy, or program to limit residential growth.
4. Permitted to maintain a nonconforming zoning condition. For purposes of this paragraph 3.10 B.4, “nonconforming zoning condition” means physical improvement on a property that does not conform with current zoning standards. This does not prevent the City from enforcing compliance with applicable building standards in accordance with Health and Safety Code Section 17980.1
64 15
C. Definitions. Definition of terms used in this Section can be found at Section 2.1 – General Definitions.
D. Areas Permitted. ADUs shall be allowed on lots zoned to allow single-family or multifamily dwelling residential use. These areas include Rural Residential (RR), Single Family (SF), Multi-Family (MF), Multi-Family Beach Front (MFBF), and areas designated for single family residential use as part of a Planned Development (PD) zone.
E. Minimum Street Width Requirement. Since the entire City is located within is located in a designated “Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone” and consistent with Los Angeles County Fire Department requirements to ensure adequate ingress and egress for fire safety a minimum street width of 20 feet shall be required. ADUs are not allowed on parcels that do not have ingress and egress to a street at least 20 feet in width.
F. Coastal Development Permit required.
1. A coastal development permit issued in accordance with Section 13.13 shall be required for all detached and attached ADUs and ADUs located inside an existing accessory building including when a legally established accessory structure is demolished and is replaced with a new structure for the purposes of creating an ADU.
2. An ADU or JADU created from habitable space and located entirely within an existing single-family residence that does not change the building envelope is not considered development and does not require a CDP. Unfinished basements or attics, rooms with floor to ceiling heights less than 6 feet, and garages would not be considered habitable space.
3. Detached ADUs on a multifamily zoned property shall require a CDP. An ADU located inside of a multifamily dwelling and ADUs attached to a multifamily dwelling are not allowed.
4. The City may charge a fee to reimburse it for costs incurred in processing CDP permits, including the costs of adopting or amending the City’s ADU ordinance. The CDP permit processing fee is determined by the City Council by resolution.
G. General Requirements. The following general requirements apply to all ADUs:
1. Zoning. A detached ADU shall be located within the required development area for the project site and shall be clustered with the primary dwelling unit and any other approved structures to minimize required fuel modification.
2. Fire Sprinklers. Fire sprinklers are required in an ADU.
3. Rental Term. An ADU may not be rented for a term that is shorter than 30 days. 65 16
4. Rental Rate Reporting. To facilitate the City’s obligation to identify adequate sites for housing in accordance with Government Code Sections 65583.1 and 65852.2, and to allow ADUs to count towards the City’s Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) requirements, within 90 days after each yearly anniversary of the issuance of the building permit, the owner shall report the actual rent charged for the ADU during the prior year.
5. No Separate Conveyance. An ADU may be rented, but no ADU may be sold or otherwise conveyed separately from the lot and the primary dwelling (in the case of a single-family lot) or from the lot and all of the dwellings (in the case of a multi-family lot).
6. Septic System. If the ADU is required to connect to an onsite wastewater treatment system, the owner must include a percolation test completed within the last five years with the ADU application or, if the percolation test has been recertified, within the last 10 years. The ADU shall comply with all applicable requirements for wastewater treatment systems.
7. Deed Restriction. Prior to issuance of a building permit for an ADU, a deed restriction must be recorded against the title of the property in the County Recorder’s office and a copy filed with the Director. The deed restriction must run with the land and bind all future owners. The form of the deed restriction will be provided by the City and must provide that:
a. The ADU may not be sold separately from the primary dwelling. b. The ADU must remain an ADU unless City approval is obtained to convert the structure to a different accessory structure.
c. An ADU created cannot be rented for less than 30 days. d. The ADU is restricted to the approved size.
e. The deed restriction runs with the land and may be enforced against future property owners.
f. The deed restriction may be removed if the owner eliminates the ADU as evidenced by, for example, removal of the kitchen facilities. To remove the deed restriction, an owner may make a written request of the Director, providing evidence that the ADU has in fact been eliminated. The Director may then determine whether the evidence supports the claim that the ADU has been eliminated. Appeal may be taken from the Director’s determination consistent with other provisions of the LCP. If the ADU is not entirely physically removed, but is only eliminated by virtue of having a necessary component of an ADU removed, the remaining structure and improvements must otherwise comply with applicable provisions of this LCP. 66 17
g. The deed restriction is enforceable by the Director or his or her designee for the benefit of the City. Failure of the property owner to comply with the deed restriction may result in legal action against the property owner, and the City is authorized to obtain any remedy available to it at law or equity, including, but not limited to, obtaining an injunction enjoining the use of the ADU in violation of the recorded restrictions or abatement of the illegal unit.
H. ADU Development Standards. The following development standards apply to ADUs. All requirements of the Malibu LIP that are consistent with the criteria listed below shall remain in effect. If there is a conflict between the standards of this Section 3.10(G) and standards that protect coastal resources, the requirements which are most protective of coastal resources shall prevail.

a. Is either: within the space of a proposed single-family dwelling; within the existing space of an existing single-family dwelling; or (in the case of an ADU only) within the existing space of an accessory structure, plus up to 150 additional square feet if the expansion is limited to accommodating ingress and egress; and b. Has exterior access that is independent of that for the single-family dwelling; and c. Has side and rear setbacks sufficient for fire and safety, as dictated by applicable building and fire codes.
d. The JADU complies with the requirements of Government Code Section 65852.22.
2. Limited Detached on Single-family Lot: One detached, new-construction ADU on a lot with a proposed or existing single-family dwelling (in addition to any JADU that might otherwise be established on the lot under subsection (A)(1) above if the detached ADU satisfies each of the following limitations:
a. The side- and rear-yard setbacks are at least four feet. b. The total floor area is 800 square feet or smaller.
c. The peak height above grade does not exceed the applicable height limit in subsection 17.44.090 (B) below.
3. Converted on Multifamily Lot: One or more ADUs within portions of existing multifamily dwelling structures that are not used as livable space, including but not limited to storage rooms, boiler rooms, passageways, attics, basements, or garages, if each converted ADU complies with state building standards for dwellings. Under this subsection (A) (3) at least one converted ADU is allowed within an existing 90 16
multifamily dwelling, up to a quantity equal to 25 percent of the existing multifamily dwelling units.
4. Limited Detached on Multifamily Lot: No more than two detached ADUs on a lot that has an existing or proposed multifamily dwelling if each detached ADU satisfies both of the following limitations:
a.The side- and rear-yard setbacks are at least four feet. If the existing multifamily dwelling has a rear or side yard setback of less than four feet, the city will not require any modification to the multifamily dwelling as a condition of approving the ADU. b.The peak height above grade does not exceed the applicable height limit provided in subsection 17.44.090 (B) below.

17.44.070 Process and Timing.
A. An APR is considered and approved ministerially by the Planning Director without discretionary review or a hearing.
B. The City must approve or deny an application to create an ADU or JADU within 60 days from the date that the City receives a complete application, unless either:
1. The applicant requests a delay, in which case the 60-day time period is tolled for the period of the requested delay, or
2. When an application to create an ADU or JADU is submitted with a permit application to create a new single-family or multifamily dwelling on the lot, the city may delay acting on the permit application for the ADU or JADU until the city acts on the permit application to create the new single-family or multifamily dwelling, but the application to create the ADU or JADU will still be considered ministerially without discretionary review or a hearing.
C. If the city denies an application to create an ADU or JADU, the city must provide the applicant with comments that include, among other things, a list of all the defective or deficient items and a description of how the application may be remedied by the applicant.
Notice of the denial and corresponding comments must be provided to the applicant within the 60-day time period established by subsection (B) above. 91 17
D. A demolition permit for a detached garage that is to be replaced with an ADU is reviewed with the application for the ADU and issued at the same time.
17.44.080 General ADU and JADU Requirements.
The following requirements apply to all ADUs and JADUs that are approved under Section
17.44.060.
A. Rental Term. An ADU or JADU may not be rented for a term that is shorter than 30 days.
This prohibition applies regardless of when the ADU or JADU was created.
B. Rental Rate Reporting. To facilitate the City’s obligation to identify adequate sites in accordance with Government Code Sections 65583.1 and 65852.2, and to allow ADUs to count towards the City’s Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) requirements, within 90 days after each January 1 following issuance of the building permit, the owner shall report the actual rent charged for the ADU or JADU during the prior year.
C. No Separate Conveyance. An ADU or JADU may be rented, but, except as otherwise provided in Government Code section 65852.26, no ADU or JADU may be sold or otherwise conveyed separately from the lot and the primary dwelling (in the case of a single-family lot) or from the lot and all of the dwellings (in the case of a multi-family lot).
D. Septic System. If the ADU or JADU will connect to an onsite water treatment system, the owner must include with the application a percolation test completed within the last five years or, if the percolation test has been recertified, within the last 10 years.
E. Fire Sprinklers.
1. Fire sprinklers are required in an ADU if sprinklers are required in the primary residence.
2. The construction of an ADU does not trigger a requirement for fire sprinklers to be installed in the existing primary dwelling.
F. Owner Occupancy.
1. An ADU that is permitted after January 1, 2020, but before January 1, 2025, is not subject to any owner-occupancy requirement.
2. Unless applicable law requires otherwise, all ADUs that are permitted on or after January 1, 2025 are subject to an owner-occupancy requirement. A natural person with legal or equitable title to the property must reside on the property as the person’s legal domicile and permanent residence.
3. As required by State law, all JADUs are subject to an owner-occupancy requirement.
A natural person with legal or equitable title to the property must reside on the property, 92 18
in either the primary dwelling or JADU, as the person’s legal domicile and permanent residence. However, the owner-occupancy requirement of this paragraph does not apply if the property is entirely owned by another governmental agency, land trust, or housing organization.
G. Deed Restriction. Prior to issuance of a building permit for an ADU or JADU, a deed restriction must be recorded against the title of the property in the County Recorder’s office and a copy filed with the Director. The deed restriction must run with the land and bind all future owners. The form of the deed restriction will be provided by the City and must provide that:
1. Except as otherwise provided in Government Code Section 65852,26, the ADU or JADU may not be sold separately from the primary dwelling.
2. The ADU or JADU must remain an ADU unless City approval is obtained to convert the structure to a different accessory structure.
3. An ADU or JADU created cannot be rented for less than 30 days.
4. The ADU or JADU is restricted to the approved size.
5. The JADU must be reconverted to be part of the primary residence if the owner does not reside on the property.
6. The deed restriction runs with the land and may be enforced against future property owners.
7. The deed restriction may be removed if the owner eliminates the ADU or JADU, as evidenced by, for example, removal of the kitchen facilities. To remove the deed restriction, an owner may make a written request of the Director, providing evidence that the ADU or JADU has in fact been eliminated. The Director may then determine whether the evidence supports the claim that the ADU or JADU has been eliminated.
Appeal may be taken from the Director’s determination consistent with other provisions of this Code. If the ADU or JADU is not entirely physically removed but is only eliminated by virtue of having a necessary component of an ADU or JADU removed, the remaining structure and improvements must otherwise comply with applicable provisions of this Code.
8. The deed restriction is enforceable by the Director or his or her designee for the benefit of the City. Failure of the property owner to comply with the deed restriction may result in legal action against the property owner, and the City is authorized to obtain any remedy available to it at law or equity, including, but not limited to, obtaining an injunction enjoining the use of the ADU or JADU in violation of the recorded restrictions or abatement of the illegal unit.
H. Building and Safety.
93 19
1. Must comply with building code. Subject to subsection (H)(2) below, all ADUs and JADUs must comply with all local building code requirements. 2. No change of occupancy. Construction of an ADU does not constitute a Group R occupancy change under the local building code, as described in Section 310 of the California Building Code, unless the building official or Code Enforcement Division officer makes a written finding based on substantial evidence in the record that the construction of the ADU could have a specific, adverse impact on public health and safety. Nothing in this subsection (H)(2) prevents the city from changing the occupancy code of a space that was uninhabitable space or that was only permitted for nonresidential use and was subsequently converted for residential use in accordance with this section I. Height.
1. No ADU subject to this Chapter may exceed 16 feet in height above grade, as measured from existing or finished legal grade, whichever results in the lower building height except as provided in subsection B.2. though B.5
2. A detached ADU may be up to 18 feet in height if it is created on a lot with an existing or proposed single-family or multifamily dwelling unit that is located within one-half mile walking distance of a major transit stop as those terms are defined in Section 21155 of the Public Resources Code, and the ADU may be up to two additional feet in height (for a maximum of 20 feet) if necessary to accommodate a roof pitch on the ADU that is aligned with the roof pitch of the primary dwelling unit.
3. A detached ADU created on a lot with an existing or proposed multifamily dwelling that has more than one story above grade may not exceed 18 feet in height.
4. An ADU that is attached to the primary dwelling may not exceed 25 feet in height or the height limitation imposed by the underlying zone that applies to the primary dwelling, whichever is lower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, ADUs subject to this subsection (B)(4) may not exceed two stories.
17.44.090 Specific ADU Requirements.
The following requirements apply only to ADUs that require an APR permit under Section
17.44.060(B) above.
A. Size
1. The maximum square footage of an ADU shall be 850 square feet for a studio or one bedroom and 1,000 square feet for two or more bedrooms. The maximum square footage shall include interior and exterior walls, finished and unfinished basements, mezzanines, storage space, and any space with a height clearance (floor to ceiling height dimension) above six feet. The area of a garage (400 square feet maximum) provided as part of accessory dwelling unit and exterior decks or overhangs that are attached to the structure shall not be included in the 850 to 1,000 square foot limit. 94 20
2. An ADU that is attached to the primary dwelling is limited to 50 percent of the existing primary dwelling.
3. Application of other development standards in this Section 17.44.090 might further the limit the size of the ADU, but no application of an FAR, front-setback, lot-coverage, or open-space requirement may require the ADU to be less than 800 square feet.
4. By definition, a JADU may not be larger than 500 square feet.
B. Setbacks.
1. The front yard setback of an ADU located on a non-beach front lot, subject to this Section
17.44.090, shall be at least twenty (20) percent of the total depth of the lot, or sixty-five fee, whichever is less. On a beachfront lot, the front yard setback shall be twenty (20) feet maximum or the average of the two immediate neighbors, whichever is less.
2. No part of any ADU subject to this Section 17.44.090 may be located within four feet of a side or rear property line.
3. No additional setback is required for an ADU that is subject to this Section 17.44.090 if the ADU is constructed in the same location and to the same dimensions as an existing legally established accessory structure that was demolished and then replaced with the ADU.
C. Passageway. No passageway, as defined by Section 17.02.060, is required for an ADU.
D. Parking.
1. Generally. One off-street enclosed or unenclosed parking space is required for each ADU.
Unenclosed parking spaces may be provided in setback areas or as tandem parking, as defined by Section 17.02.060.
2. Exceptions. No parking under subsection (E)(1) above is required in the following situations:
a. The ADU is located within one-half mile walking distance of public transit, as defined in Section 17.02.060.
b. The ADU is located within an architecturally and historically significant historic district.
c. The ADU is part of the proposed or existing primary residence or an existing accessory structure, under Section 17.44.060(A)(1).
d. When on-street parking permits are required but not offered to the occupant of the ADU.
95 21
e. When there is an established car share vehicle stop located within one block of the ADU.
f. When the permit application to create an ADU is submitted with an application to create a new single-family or new multifamily dwelling on the same lot, provided that the ADU or the lot satisfies any other criteria listed in subsections (A) thru (F).
3. No Replacement of Parking Required. When a garage, carport, or covered parking structure is (a) demolished in conjunction with the construction of an ADU or (b) converted to an ADU, those off-street parking spaces are not required to be replaced. If replacement parking is proposed by the owner, the parking must be located on hardscape.
F. Internal connection. An attached ADU shall not be connected internally to the main residence.
A detached ADU shall not be connected internally to any accessory structure except to a legally established garage that serves the ADU.
17.44.100 Fees.
A. Impact Fees.
1. No impact fee shall be charged for an ADU that is less than 750 square feet in size.
2. Any impact fee that is required for an ADU that is 750 square feet or larger in size must be charged proportionately in relation to the square footage of the primary dwelling unit. (E.g., the square footage of the ADU, divided by the square footage of the primary dwelling, times the typical fee amount charged for a new dwelling.) “Impact fee” here does not include any connection fee or capacity charge for water or sewer service.
3. For purposes of this section 17.44.100, “impact fee” means a “fee” under the Mitigation Fee Act (Gov. Code § 66000(b)) and a fee under the Quimby Act (Gov. Code § 66477).
B. Utility Fees.
1. ADUs constructed with a single-family dwelling shall be subject to standard utilityconnection requirements and fees.
2. Converted ADUs, created under 17.44.060(A)(1) are not required to have a new or separate utility connection directly between the ADU and the utility. Nor is a connection fee or capacity charge required unless the ADU is constructed with a new single-family home.
3. All ADUs not covered by 17.44.100 (B)(1) or (B)(2) above require a new, separate utility connection directly between the ADU and the utility. The connection is subject to a connection fee or capacity charge that is proportionate to the burden created by the ADU, based on either the square footage or the number of drainage-fixture units (DFU) values, as defined by the Uniform Plumbing Code, upon the water or sewer system. The fee or charge may not exceed the reasonable cost of providing this service. 96 22
17.44.110 Nonconforming Zoning Code Conditions, Building Code Violations, and Unpermitted Structures.
A. Generally. The city will not deny an ADU or JADU application due to a nonconforming zoning condition, building code violation, or unpermitted structure on the lot that does not present a threat to the public health and safety and that is not affected by the construction of the ADU or JADU.
B. Unpermitted ADUs constructed before 2018.
1. Permit to Legalize. As required by state law, the city may not deny a permit to legalize an existing but unpermitted ADU that was constructed before January 1, 2018, if denial is based on either of the following grounds:
a.The ADU violates applicable building standards, or
b.The ADU does not comply with the state ADU law (Government Code section 65852.2) or this ADU ordinance Chapter 17.44.
2. Exceptions:
a.Notwithstanding subsection (B)(1) above the city may deny a permit to legalize an existing but unpermitted ADU that was constructed before January 1, 2018, if the city makes a finding that correcting a violation is necessary to protect the health and safety of the public or of occupants of the structure. b.Subsection (B)(1) above does not apply to a building that is deemed to be substandard in accordance with California Health and Safety Code section 17920.3.

ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT ORDINANCE
LOCAL COASTAL PROGRAM AMENDMENT NO. 18-002 AND ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT NO. 18-004 - Consider an amendment to the Local Coastal Program (LCP) and Title 17 (Zoning) of the Malibu Municipal Code (MMC) modifying regulations pertaining to accessory dwelling units, also known as second dwelling units, to bring existing regulations into compliance with State law (Location: Citywide) On March 14, 2023, the Planning Commission held a Special meeting and adopted Resolution No. 23-12, providing recommendations to the City Council for an amendment to the LCP and MMC in accordance with City Council direction on August 22, 2022. On September 11, 2023, the City Council provided additional direction to staff and continued the item to a date uncertain.
In accordance with the CEQA, 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 LCP amendment (LCPA). This application is for an LCPA which must be certified by the California Coastal Commission before it takes effect. The ZTA and LCPA are not a project within the meaning of CEQA Guidelines Section 15378, because they have no potential to result in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility and is not subject to CEQA. Moreover, in the event that the code amendment and LCPA are interpreted so as to permit construction of an ADU on a particular site, the construction would be exempt from CEQA review in accordance with either State CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 (existing facilities), State CEQA Guidelines Section 15303 (new construction or conversion of small structures), and/ or State CEQA Guidelines Section 15304 (minor alterations to land).
A written staff report will be available at or before the hearing for the project. All persons wishing to address the Council regarding these matters will be afforded an opportunity in accordance with the Council’s procedures. Copies of all related documents can be reviewed by any interested person at City Hall during regular business hours by appointment. Oral and written comments may be presented to the City Council on, or before, the date of the meeting.

Agenda Item # 6.A.
Council Agenda Report
To: Mayor Uhring and the Honorable Members of the City Council Prepared by: Susan Dueñas, Public Safety Director
Approved by: Steve McClary, City Manager
Date prepared: November 1, 2023 Meeting date: November 27, 2023 Subject: Parking Enforcement
RECOMMENDED ACTION: 1) Receive a report on current parking enforcement operations; 2) Review options for increased parking enforcement; and 3) Provide direction to staff if appropriate.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended actions.
Depending on the Council's direction, there could be a fiscal impact. However, that fiscal impact would likely be offset by parking ticket revenues.
STRATEGIC PRIORITY: This item supports the Public Safety priority identified in the Adopted FY 2023-24 Strategic Priority Project List.
DISCUSSION: Illegal parking in Malibu is a common issue that affects the safety of the public and the quality of life of residents and visitors. For instance, during the President's Day holiday weekend in February 2023, the issue of illegal parking became a major concern at the Point Dume headlands as visitors crowded the area looking for access.
More than 140 citations were issued for failure to obey posted signs and obstructing the roadway. Some visitors even parked on the sidewalk and blocked resident driveways, making it difficult for pedestrians to walk safely and for persons to access their driveways.
In addition to these types of violations, some vehicles routinely park illegally for extended periods, reducing availability for residents and visitors.
To address this problem effectively the City needs to have a way to provide consistent enforcement. From September through April, the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department (LASD) Volunteers on Patrol (VOP) annually provide the majority of parking enforcement in the City. For example, from September 2022 through April 2023, the VOPs issued more than 6,000 citations, which was nearly 70 percent of the parking citations during that time.
City Council Meeting

Item
6.A.
Agenda Item # 6.A.
From May to early September, parking enforcement is supplemented by the LASD Beach Team. The Beach Team contract includes a Community Service Assistant, one traffic deputy, and one motor deputy who all assist with parking enforcement. During this time, LASD personnel and VOPs issue approximately the same number of citations.
Below are graphs that illustrate the level of parking enforcement during a non-summer month and a summer month with the Beach Team in place:
The highs and lows in the chart generally reflect the number of VOPs or LASD personnel who were working and the number of hours they worked, with most enforcement happening on the weekends. For example, the spikes in citations issued by LASD during 0 10

Agenda Item # 6.A.
June coincide with the weekends when the Beach Team was on duty. The spike in citations issued by VOPS on June 17 is the result of three VOPs working from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.
The same inconsistency in enforcement can also be seen when you look at citations written by both VOP and LASD personnel month to month. The following graph shows the number of citations per month for each group over the last 12 months.
These illustrations are not meant to diminish the extremely valuable work of either group.
It is only meant to illustrate the inconsistency in enforcement and the need to supplement our current parking enforcement effort to achieve a more consistent parking enforcement program, particularly during the week.
During the City Council Regular Meeting held on June 26, 2023, the Council passed the Annual Budget for the Fiscal Year 2023-24, which included funding for the Malibu Substation of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD). As part of this funding allocation, $270,000 was approved for hiring three additional Community Service Assistants to assist with parking enforcement. However, staff was informed by LASD that they could not approve this request due to staff shortages. LASD cannot grant any additional staffing requests to contract cities at this time.
Some cities have responded to the need for more parking enforcement by either creating civilian positions within their city organization or contracting with private parking enforcement companies. To evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of each option, staff identified five cities that employ these strategies including, Lomita, Pico Rivera, West Hollywood, Glendale, and Burbank.

hiring an outside vendor is the more popular option. The following table provides the pros and cons gathered from these conversations:
Enforcement Type Pros Cons
Internal/City Staff
• More control over daily
operations
• Maintaining staffing levels can
be difficult
• City must acquire and maintain
vehicles and equipment
External/Contract
• Easier to scale up or down
• Vendor is responsible for
acquiring and maintaining
vehicles and equipment
• Vendor is responsible for hiring
and managing staff
• Less control over daily
operations
The cities of Glendale, Burbank, and West Hollywood currently use contracted parking enforcement. Furthermore, Glendale and Burbank recently switched from internal parking enforcement programs to contracted services to save money and solve staffing issues.
However, regardless of whether a city decides to use internal or contracted services, the cost is generally offset by the revenue generated by the parking fines.
Moreover, with both options, the parking enforcement officers can use a vehicle labeled as "City of Malibu Parking Enforcement" which serves as a deterrent to illegal parking.
Additionally, in either case, coordination with the LASD and the VOPs would be paramount to maximize effectiveness and prevent duplication of effort.
At the August 2, 2023, Public Safety Commission Regular Meeting, the Commission voted in favor of making a recommendation to the City Council that it: 1) authorize the City to contract with a private company for parking enforcement that includes towing capability; and 2) direct staff to work with the Sheriff’s Department and Volunteers on Patrol (VOP) to determine the desired service level and schedule for the contract parking enforcement.
It is recommended that the Council review all the information provided and consider instructing staff to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) for contract parking enforcement services. This can also be implemented as a pilot program for a year, allowing sufficient time for evaluating the costs and benefits. Afterward, staff can present the results to the Council for further consideration of a longer-term contract.

DISCUSSION: Mayor Uhring is requesting that the City Council consider renaming the nature center at Charmlee Wilderness Park in honor of Walt and Lucille Keller.
Mr. Keller, a Malibu resident for over 50 years, began serving the community long before the city was incorporated in 1991. Mr. Keller served on the Malibu Township Council and helped organize the Malibu Committee for Incorporation, two organizations that were vital to Malibu obtaining cityhood. Mr. Keller was honored by the Malibu City Council at the City’s 20th anniversary celebration on March 28, 2011, in recognition of his election as Malibu’s first Mayor and for his dedicated service on the City Council from 1990-1994 and 1996-2000. Walt and Lucille Keller continued to be active members of the Malibu City Council Meeting
