B. Eligibility. A density bonus may be granted to an eligible housing development as defined in Government Code Section 65915(i), pursuant to Government Code Section 65915.

C. General Provisions.

1. Density Bonus Awarded. For a housing development qualifying pursuant to the requirements of Government Code section 65915, the city shall grant a density bonus in an amount specified by Government Code section 65915. a. For the purposes of calculating the density bonus, the “maximum allowable residential density” shall be the greatest number of units allowed under the zoning ordinance, specific plan, or land use element of the general plan, or if a range of density is permitted, the greatest number of units allowed by the specific zoning range, specific plan, or land use element of the general plan. b. Except as otherwise required by Government Code section 65915, the density bonus units shall not be included when calculating the total number of housing units that qualifies the housing development for a density bonus. c. A density bonus application consistent with this section shall be granted pursuant to Government Code section 65915 unless the city finds that the project cannot feasibly be accommodated on the site in a manner that conforms to the California Coastal Act.

2. Incentives/Concessions. The city shall grant the applicant the number of incentives and concessions required by Government Code section 65915(d). The city shall grant the specific concession(s) or incentive(s) requested by the applicant, unless it makes any of the following written findings based upon substantial evidence:
a. The concession or incentive does not result in identifiable and actual cost reductions, consistent with subdivision (k) of section 65915 to provide for affordable housing costs as defined in section 50052.5 of the Health and Safety Code, or for rents for the targeted units to be set as specified in subdivision (c) of section 65915.
b. The waiver or reduction of the development standard would have a specific, adverse impact, as defined in paragraph (2) of subdivision (d) of section 65589.5, upon public health and/or on any real property that is listed in the California Register of Historical Resources and for which there is no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the specific adverse impact without rendering the development unaffordable to low-income and moderate-income households;
433

Attachment 3
c. The waiver or reduction of the development standard would be contrary to state or federal law; or

Except as restricted by Government Code section 65915, the applicant for a density bonus may submit a proposal for the waiver or reduction of development standards that have the effect of physically precluding the construction of a housing development incorporating the density bonus and any incentives or concessions granted to the applicant. A request for a waiver or reduction of development standards shall be accompanied by documentation demonstrating that the waiver or reduction is physically necessary to construct the housing development with the additional density allowed pursuant to the density bonus and incorporating any incentives or concessions required to be granted. The city shall approve a waiver or reduction of a development standard, unless it finds that:
a. The application of the development standard does not have the effect of physically precluding the construction of a housing development at the density allowed by the density bonus and with the incentives or concessions granted to the applicant;
b. The waiver or reduction of the development standard would have a specific, adverse impact, as defined in paragraph (2) of subdivision (d) of section 65589.5, upon public health and or on any real property that is listed in the California Register of Historical Resources and for which there is no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the specific adverse impact without rendering the development unaffordable to low-income and moderate-income households;
c. The waiver or reduction of the development standard would be contrary to state or federal law; or
d. The proposed project, with the requested waiver(s) and/or reduction(s) of development standards, cannot feasibly be accommodated on the site in a manner that conforms with the California Coastal Act.

City of Malibu
23825 Stuart Ranch Road
Malibu, CA 90265-4861
Dear Richard Mollica:

RE: City of Malibu’s 6th Cycle (2021-2029) Revised Draft Housing Element Thank you for submitting the City of Malibu’s (City) revised draft housing element received for review on July 30, 2024. The revised draft was posted and made available to the public for seven days prior to review. Pursuant to Government Code section 65585, the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) is reporting the results of its review.

HCD is pleased to find the revised draft housing element meets the statutory requirements of State Housing Element Law (Gov. Code, § 65580 et seq.). However, the housing element cannot be found in substantial compliance until the City has completed necessary rezones as described below. The housing element will comply with State Housing Element Law when the rezoning is complete and the element is readopted, submitted to, and approved by HCD, in accordance with Government Code section 65585.

Pursuant to Assembly Bill 1398 (Chapter 358, Statutes of 2021), a jurisdiction that did not adopt a compliant housing element within one year from the statutory deadline (October 15, 2021) cannot be found in compliance until rezones to make prior identified sites available or accommodate a shortfall of sites are completed pursuant to Government Code section 65583, subdivision (c)(1)(A) and Government Code section 65583.2, subdivision (c). As the City did not adopt a compliant housing element by October 15, 2022 and the necessary rezones are not complete, HCD cannot find the element in compliance. The element can be found in compliance when Program 3.5 (By-Right Approval) is complete. Upon completion of rezones, the City should submit appropriate documentation (e.g., resolution, ordinance) for HCD’s review. HCD will review the documentation and issue correspondence identifying the updated status of the City’s housing element compliance.

As a reminder, the City’s 6th cycle housing element was due October 15, 2021. As of today, the City has not completed the housing element process for the 6th cycle. The City’s 5th cycle housing element no longer satisfies statutory requirements. HCD 449
Attachment 4

encourages the City to expeditiously adopt, rezone and submit to HCD to regain housing element compliance.

For your information, pursuant to Government Code section 65583.3, subdivision (b), the City must utilize standards, forms, and definitions adopted by HCD when preparing the sites inventory and submit an electronic version of the sites inventory. While the City has submitted an electronic version of the sites inventory, if changes occur, any future re-adopted versions of the element must also submit the electronic version of the sites inventory.

Public participation in the development, adoption and implementation of the housing element is essential to effective housing planning. Throughout the housing element process, the City must continue to engage the community, including organizations that represent lower-income and special needs households, by making information regularly available while considering and incorporating comments where appropriate. Please be aware, any revisions to the element must be posted on the local government’s website and to email a link to all individuals and organizations that have previously requested notices relating to the local government’s housing element at least seven days before submitting to HCD.

Several federal, state, and regional funding programs consider housing element compliance as an eligibility or ranking criteria. For example, the CalTrans Senate Bill (SB) 1 Sustainable Communities grant, the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities programs, and HCD’s Permanent Local Housing Allocation consider housing element compliance and/or annual reporting requirements pursuant to Government Code section 65400. With a compliant housing element, the City will meet housing element requirements for these and other funding sources.

For your information, some general plan element updates are triggered by housing element adoption. HCD reminds the City to consider timing provisions and welcomes the opportunity to provide assistance. For information, please see the Technical Advisories issued by the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research at:
https://www.opr.ca.gov/planning/general-plan/guidelines.html.

HCD appreciates the hard work and dedication the housing element update team provided throughout the housing element review and update process. HCD looks forward to working with the City through adoption and rezoning. If you have any questions or need additional technical assistance, please contact Sayed Murad of our staff, at [email protected].

Sincerely,
Paul McDougall

b. For each multifamily dwelling unit, not less than 300 square feet, exclusive of any appurtenant structures.

5. Height.
a. Except for beachfront lots, and except as provided for projects in the affordable housing overlay district pursuant to Section 17.42.020(L)(3)(b)(iii), every residence and every other building or structure associated with a residential development, including satellite dish antenna, shall not be higher than 18 feet above natural or finished grade, whichever results in a lower building height, except for chimneys and rooftop antenna other than satellite dish antenna.
b. Except as provided for projects in the affordable housing overlay district pursuant to Section 17.42.020(L)(3)(b)(iii), fFor new construction on a beachfront lot, no residence or structure, including satellite dish antenna, shall exceed 24 feet for flat roof and 28 feet for pitched roof, as measured from the lowest recommended finish floor elevation on the ocean side, as defined by a licensed civil engineer, based upon a comprehensive wave action report, and 24 feet for a flat roof and 28 feet for pitched roof as measured from center line of the road on the land side. Building height shall be apportioned such that the portion of the building which height is measured from the center line of the road shall not exceed half of the total length (front to rear) of the structure.
467
17 For an addition to an existing structure, the height shall be measured from the bottom of the first floor diaphragm on the ocean side, or the lowest recommended finish floor elevation, whichever is lower, and the center line of the road on the land side. c. Notwithstanding any provision of this section, the director may issue a development permit, pursuant to the site plan review process of this title, to allow heights up to 24 feet for flat roofs and 28 feet for pitched or sloped roofs.

c. Rear yard setbacks shall be at least 15% of the lot depth or 15 feet whichever is greater.
d. For the purpose of calculating yards, slopes equal to or greater than 1:1 shall not be included in the lot dimensions.
e. All structures must be set back at least 25 feet from the top of a 45 degree angle (1:1 slope) starting at the toe of an inland bluff or coastal bluff. For slopes greater than 45 degrees setback shall be 25 feet horizontal as measured from the top of the slope at the end of the 45 degree line commencing at the base of the slope. For the purposes of this section, an inland or coastal bluff is a topographic-feature not primarily composed of sand and at least 25 feet from top to toe with a slope of 1:1 or greater. f. Notwithstanding any provision of this section, where feasible, all structures shall be set back a minimum of 100 feet from an environmentally sensitive habitat area and other designated environmentally sensitive areas and a minimum of 100 feet from park natural vegetation. For the purposes of this section, “park natural vegetation” means native vegetation comprised of plan species identified as indigenous in the 1986 Edition of Flora of the Santa Monica Mountains (Raven, Thompson and Prigge).

a. Front. Twenty feet maximum or the average of the two immediate neighbors, whichever is less.
b. Side. Ten percent of lot width on each side, with a three feet minimum and five feet maximum.
468
18 c. Rear. Setbacks are determined by the stringline rule. Separate setback standards apply to dwellings, decks, accessory structures, and shoreline protective devices, as indicated below:

1. Dwellings and Decks. For a dwelling or deck, new construction shall not extend seaward of a stringline drawn by the following procedure:
a. General Rule. The stringline shall be drawn from a point on the closest upcoast and downcoast property with the same type of structure (dwelling or deck). The stringline point shall be located as follows: first, the predominant seaward projection of the structure on the upcoast and downcoast property shall be identified; second, the corner of the predominant seaward projection which is closest to the subject property shall be located, and shall constitute the stringline point. Predominant seaward projection shall be calculated using the formula in subsection (b).
b. Predominant Seaward Projection. The “predominant seaward projection” shall be that portion of a structure closest to the ocean, which has a width (i.e., the dimension which is on a plane parallel to the ocean front) at least 30% of the maximum width of the structure.

2. Stringline Determination. After an application is determined to be complete and a preliminary stringline determination is made, the planning manager/director shall notify in writing the owners and residents of all beachfront property within 500 linear feet of the proposed stringline determination and in no event less than 10 developed properties. Not sooner than 21 days after the resident and owners are notified nor later than 30 days after the notification, the planning manager/director will consider all comments submitted in writing and orally. These deadlines are directory and no decision shall be subject to invalidation solely on the ground that it was made after the deadline. Thereafter, the planning manager/director shall approve, deny, or modify the preliminary stringline determination and issue a written decision.

3. Stringline Modification. Where the application of the general rule results in a stringline substantially inconsistent with the adjacent development, the applicant may apply for a stringline modification pursuant to Section 17.72.100(C).

4. Accessory Structures. No accessory structure (including, without limitation, a gazebo, pool, cabana) may project seaward of the deck stringline. Accessory structures may be permitted seaward of the dwelling stringline, provided that ocean views from adjacent developed properties are maintained to the maximum reasonable extent, as determined by the planning manager/director.

5. Shoreline Protective Devices. A shoreline protective device including sea walls, bulkheads or other similar devices shall be subject to site plan review approval pursuant to Section 17.62.040(A)(10). A shoreline protective device shall not extend seaward of a stringline drawn between the nearest corners of the closest existing shoreline protective device(s), as determined by the planning manager/director.
d. Bluff.
469
19 i. Beachfront Bluffs. Consistent with the stringline rule, structures may extend over a bluff which is 10 feet or less in height, from toe to top, as established by average beach profile and having underlying geology composed mostly of sand and/or naturally or artificially deposited fill materials.
ii. Shoreline Bluffs. Structures on non-infill lots shall not extend over a bluff which is greater than 10 feet but less than 25 feet and all structures shall be set back to comply with the requirements of Title 26 (Los Angeles Building Code) for foundations adjacent to descending slopes. Structures on infill lots on shoreline bluffs shall conform to the stringline rule.

8. Ridgelines.

1. Primary Ridgelines.
a. A primary ridgeline shall be defined as follows: a hill, ridge or promontory which drops on either side of the top of this landform feature, and includes at least one of the following conditions:
i. Forms a distinct part of the skyline when viewed from a public street or highway; or
ii. Is seen as a distinct and prominent edge against a backdrop of land at least 500 feet behind it when viewed from a public street and contains an average slope of at least 3:1.

2. Secondary Ridgelines.
a. A secondary ridgeline is defined as hills, ridges, and promontories other than primary ridgelines, but on which the elevation drops more than 10 feet in 100 feet horizontally on either side of the top of this landform feature. b. Any structures proposed on secondary ridgelines shall be subject to the planning director’s review. If the structure projects above the top of the secondary ridgeline, as viewed from a public or private street, the planning director may impose conditions to minimize potential scenic impacts based on such factors as the prominence of the site and structure, the severity of visual impact to public view, and the existing development pattern in the surrounding area. These conditions would be based on the following secondary ridgeline development criteria:
i. Proposed structures are encouraged to be maintained at a low profile to mitigate visual impacts of the secondary ridgeline.
ii. The proposed design of the structure, including grading of the site should incorporate development techniques which sensitively conform to the natural terrain, including such measures as split level designs or second stores which are stepped back as viewed from the downhill side of the property, reduced building pads and roof pitches which parallel existing slopes. 470
20 3. Grading or berms which alter the natural contours of, or change the elevation of the crest of the ridgeline in order to create a pad shall be avoided.

4. Berms, contour or landform grading, and landscaping should be used, when necessary, to soften the visual impacts to secondary ridgelines created by structures and grading.
c. Ridgetop development is particularly susceptible to wildfire hazard. In addition to the criteria to reduce visual impact, the planning director shall evaluate all ridgeline development on slopes of at least 3:1 to incorporate adequate setbacks to address potential fire hazard concerns.

9. Grading. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this code, grading (total cut and fill) is limited to 1,000 cubic yards as follows:
a. Maximum Quantity. In conjunction with any grading, so that the maximum is not greater than 1,000 cubic yards (exclusive of remedial grading) cut and fill may be allocated as follows: (i) balanced cut and fill up to 1,000 cubic yards; or (ii) export of no more than 1,000 cubic yards; or (iii) import of no more than 500 cubic yards, where additional grading on site does not exceed 500 cubic yards in conjunction with any landform alteration so that the maximum is no greater than 1,000 cubic yards; or (iv) any combination of the above that does not exceed 1,000 cubic yards per lot for singlefamily residential development or per acre of multi-family residential development. b. Maximum height cut or fill: six feet in height for any one wall, or 12 feet for any combination of walls, where a minimum three foot separation exists between walls, except single cuts up to 12 feet in height which are an integral part of the structure are permitted.
c. Maximum grade cut or fill: 3:1 for areas created for development of structures and open yard areas. Transition slopes may not exceed 2:1 and shall not exceed the maximum height permitted for cuts and fills.
d. Criteria. Grading plans shall be submitted for approval with building plans. No grading permits shall be issued until a building permit is approved. Contour grading shall be used to reflect original landform and result in minimum disturbance to natural terrain.

Notching into hillsides is encouraged so that projects are built into natural terrain as much as possible.
e. Remedial Grading. Notwithstanding the limitations of this subsection, the director may permit remedial grading pursuant to site plan review, Section 17.62.040. For the purposes of this section, “remedial grading” is defined as grading recommended by a full site geotechnical report approved by the director and city geologist, except that no such remedial grading will be allowed when it could be avoided by changing the position or location of the proposed development.
f. Exceptions. Excavation for foundations and other understructure excavation and incremental excavation for basements and safety purposes shall be excluded from grading limitations.
471
21 10. Development Area. Except for an affordable housing development within the AHO Overlay, every residential development shall be contained within a convex-shaped enclosure that shall not exceed two acres.

11. Impermeable Coverage. Use of permeable surfaces is encouraged, especially for driveways.
a. Including the single-family residence, impermeable surfaces are permitted for lot areas (excluding slopes equal to or greater than 1:1), up to one-quarter acre at 45%, for lot areas greater than one-quarter acre but a one-half acre or less, at 35% and for lots greater than one-half acre at 30% up to a maximum of 25,000 square feet. Beachfront lots shall not be subject to this subsection.
b. Multifamily. Twenty-five percent of the lot area (excluding slopes equal to or greater than 1:1 and street easements) shall be devoted to landscaping. “Green or living walls” shall not be considered landscaping for the purpose of this paragraph. The required five foot landscape buffer around the perimeter of parking areas shall count toward the 25% requirement. An additional five percent of the lot area (excluding slopes equal to or greater than 1:1 and street easements) shall be devoted to permeable surfaces.

Beachfront lots shall not be subject to this subsection. 472

Approval of mixed-use development in conjunction with a multi-family residential project if commercial, office, industrial or other land uses will reduce the cost of the housing development and if the project will be compatible internally as well as with the existing or planned development in the area where the proposed project will be located.
c. Other regulatory incentives or concessions proposed by the developer or the City which result in identifiable cost reductions.

D. Procedures for Approval.

1. Notification to developer. The City shall, within ninety (90) days of receipt of a written proposal to utilize a density bonus for affordable housing, notify the developer in writing of the procedures governing these provisions.

2. Findings. When required by Government Code Section 65915, the City shall grant a density bonus that allows the applicant to build no more than thirty-five (35) percent more units than a property’s zoning would ordinarily allow, if the City finds:
c. The number of units is compatible with the existing and planned infrastructure and service facilities serving the site;
d. The developer has demonstrated that the density bonus and adjustment of standards is necessary to make the project economically feasible;

1. Density Bonus Awarded. For a housing development qualifying pursuant to the requirements of Government Code Section 65915, the city shall grant a density bonus in an amount specified by Government Code section 65915. a. For the purposes of calculating the density bonus, the “maximum allowable residential density” shall be the greatest number of units allowed under the zoning ordinance, specific plan, or land use element of the general plan, or if a range of density is permitted, the greatest number of units allowed by the specific zoning range, specific plan, or land use element of the general plan. 509
17 b. Except as otherwise required by Government Code section 65915, the density bonus units shall not be included when calculating the total number of housing units that qualifies the housing development for a density bonus. c. The city shall grant a density bonus pursuant to Government Code section 65915 if it finds that the project meets each of the following:
i. The proposed increased density is consistent with Section 30604(f) of the California Coastal Act, Government Code Section 65915 and Section 3.7.1 of the Local Coastal Program.

If located within the coastal zone, tThe project is found to be in conformity with the coastal resource protection standards in the Local Coastal Program (including but not limited to sensitive habitat, agriculture, public viewshed, public services, public recreational access and open space protections), with the exception of the density provisions; and
iii. The proposed project is compatible with the goals and coastal resource protection policies of the LCP and purpose and intent of this section.

3. In accordance with Government Code Section 65915(f), the density bonus shall be calculated based on the otherwise maximum allowable residential density under the LCP.

The “otherwise maximum allowable residential density” shall mean the maximum density determined by applying all site-specific environmental development constraints applicable under the LCP.

4. Any housing development approved pursuant to Government Code Section 65915 shall be consistent with all applicable certified local coastal program coastal resource protection policies and development standards, with the exception of the density provisions. d. If, however, the City determines that the means for accommodating the density increase proposed by the applicant will have an adverse effect on coastal resources, before approving a density increase, the City shall identify all feasible means of accommodating the density increase and consider the effects of such means on coastal resources. The City shall require implementation of the means that avoid impacts to coastal resources, as required by relevant LCP policies, while still providing the density increase permitted by law.

32 13.30 HOUSING ACCESSIBILITY—REQUEST FOR REASONABLE ACCOMMODATION A. Purpose and Intent. This section sets forth the procedures to request reasonable accommodation for persons with disabilities seeking equal access to housing under the Federal Housing Act and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (the Acts) in the application of zoning laws and other land use regulations, policies and procedures.

It is the intent of this section that, notwithstanding time limits provided to perform specific functions, application review, decision making, and appeals proceed expeditiously, especially where the request is time sensitive, and so as to reduce impediments to equal access to housing.

B. Applicability.

1. A request for reasonable accommodation may be made by any person with a disability, his/her representative or any property owner, when the application of a zoning law or other land use regulation, policy or practice acts as a barrier to fair housing opportunities.

2. A request for reasonable accommodation may include a modification or exception to the rules, standards, practices and procedures regulating the siting, development or use of housing or housing-related facilities that would eliminate regulatory barriers and provide a person with a disability equal opportunity to housing of their choice.

3. A person with a disability is a person who has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits or substantially limits one or more major life activities; anyone who is regarded as having such impairment; or anyone who has a record of such impairment.

525
33 f. The length of time the reasonable accommodation is necessary; g. An explanation of why the reasonable accommodation is necessary to make the specific property accessible to the individual;
h. A determination of whether or not the request would result in adverse impacts to wetlands, environmentally sensitive habitat area, public access, public views and/or other coastal resources;
i. A site plan or illustrative drawing showing the proposed accommodation; and j. Any other information required to make the findings required by subsection (F)(5) of this section consistent with the Acts.

2. A request for reasonable accommodation may be filed at any time that the accommodation may be necessary to ensure equal access to housing. If the project for which the request for reasonable accommodation is being made also requires a CDP, then the applicant shall file the application submittal information together with the application for the CDP for concurrent review.

3. A reasonable accommodation does not affect or negate an individual’s obligations to comply with other applicable regulations not at issue with the requested accommodation.

4. If an individual needs assistance in making the request for reasonable accommodation, the City shall provide assistance to ensure that the process is accessible.

D. Reviewing Authority.

1. Applications for reasonable accommodation shall be reviewed by the Director or his/her designee, if no approval is sought other than the request for reasonable accommodation.

2. The approved reasonable accommodation is necessary to make the specific housing available to a person with a disability as defined in subsection (B)(3) above. 526
34 3. The approved reasonable accommodation would not impose an undue financial or administrative burden on the City.

4. The approved reasonable accommodation would not require a fundamental alteration in the nature of the LCP.

5. The approved reasonable accommodation would not adversely impact coastal resources., including:
a. Would not conflict with any easements required for public access through, or public use of a portion of the property that the project is located on; b. Would not adversely impact wetlands, environmentally sensitive habitat area, and/or public views; and
c. There is no feasible alternative that would accomplish the same purpose of the reasonable accommodations request that would be more protective of coastal resources.

6. The project that is the subject of the approved reasonable accommodation conforms to the applicable provisions of the LCP and the applicable provisions of this section, with the exception of the provision(s) for which the reasonable accommodation is granted.

F. Decision.

1. The Director shall consider an application, and issue a written determination within forty-five (45) calendar days of the date of receipt of a completed application. If necessary, to reach a determination on any request for reasonable accommodation, the review authority may request further information from the applicant consistent with this section, specifying in detail what information is required.

5. 6. The written decision of the reviewing authority shall be final unless appealed in the manner set forth in subsection (F)(8) below.

6. 7. While a request for reasonable accommodation is pending, all laws and regulations otherwise applicable to the property that is the subject of the request shall remain in full force and effect.

7. 8. Where the improvements or modification approved through reasonable accommodation would generally require a variance, a variance shall not be required.

G. The review and approval of a reasonable accommodations request is not contingent upon the findings of other discretionary actions, including those required for review of a discretionary land use approval processed concurrently with a reasonable accommodations request.

G. H.Conditions of Approval. In granting a request for reasonable accommodation, the reviewing authority may impose any conditions of approval deemed reasonable and necessary to ensure that the reasonable accommodation would comply with the findings required by subsection E of this section.

H. I. Appeals. The process set forth in Section 13.20 shall apply, as supplemented by the following:

1. The Planning Commission or the City Council, as applicable, shall hear the matter and render a determination as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than ninety (90) calendar days after an appeal has been filed. All determinations shall address and be based upon the same findings required to be made in the original determination from which the appeal is taken.

2. The City shall provide notice of an appeal hearing to the applicant, adjacent property owners and any other person requesting notification at least ten (10) calendar days prior to the hearing. The appeal authority shall announce its findings within thirty (30) calendar days of the hearing, unless good cause is found for an extension, and the decision shall be mailed to the applicant. The Council’s action shall be final.

3. If an individual needs assistance in filing an appeal on an adverse decision, the City shall provide assistance to ensure that the appeals process is accessible.

4. Nothing in this procedure shall preclude an aggrieved individual from seeking other state or federal remedy available.

I.J. Waiver of Time Periods. Notwithstanding any provisions in this section regarding the occurrence of any action within a specified period of time, the applicant may request additional time beyond that provided for in this section or may request a continuance 528
36 regarding any decision or consideration by the City of a pending appeal. Extensions of time sought by applicants shall not be considered delay on the part of the City, shall not constitute failure by the City to provide for prompt decisions on applications and shall not be a violation of any required [time period set forth in this section.

J.K. Discontinuance. Unless the review authority determines a reasonable accommodation runs with the land, a reasonable accommodation shall lapse if the rights granted by it are discontinued for one hundred eighty (180) consecutive days. If the person initially occupying a residence or business vacates, the reasonable accommodation shall remain in effect only if the Director determines that:

1. The modification is physically integrated into a structure and cannot easily be removed or altered to comply with Chapter 3 of the Local Implementation Plan;

2. Its removal would constitute an unreasonable financial burden; and

3. The accommodation is necessary to give another disabled individual an equal opportunity to enjoy the dwelling or business.
a. The Director may request the applicant or his or her successor-in-interest to the property to provide documentation that subsequent occupants are persons with disabilities. Failure to provide such documentation within ten (10) days of the date of a request by the Director shall constitute grounds for discontinuance by the City of a previously approved reasonable accommodation.

The Malibu City Council will hold a public hearing on Monday, September 23, 2024, at 6:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers, Malibu City Hall, 23825 Stuart Ranch Road, Malibu, CA and via teleconference, for the project identified below.

HOUSING ELEMENT
GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 20-001, LOCAL COASTAL PROGRAM AMENDMENT NO. 24-001, AND ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT NO. 24-002 - The proposed project involves a General Plan Amendment to adopt the 2021-2029 Housing Element Sixth Cycle update. The Housing Element includes an analysis of the community’s housing needs, opportunities and constraints, as well as policies and programs to facilitate the construction, rehabilitation, and preservation of housing for all economic segments of the community. The proposed project includes corresponding amendments to the Local Coastal Program and Malibu Municipal Code including amendments to the following sections: definitions, permitted uses, residential development standards, density bonus, Affordable Housing Overlay, development standards for special uses, parking standards and reasonable accommodation.

APPLICANT: City of Malibu
LOCATION: Citywide
APPLICATION FILED: November 15, 2021
CASE PLANNER: Tyler Eaton, Senior Planner, [email protected] (310) 456-2489, ext. 273
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(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. Therefore, because the Housing Element would involve adoption of a policy document which does not, in and of itself, include any proposed development, and would not require rezoning or facilitate development beyond what is currently allowed in the City’s General Plan, it can therefore be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the adoption of the 2021-2029 Housing Element update would have a significant effect on the environment.

A written staff report will be available at or before the hearing for the projects. 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 on the City’s website at malibucity.org/housingelement and at City Hall during regular business hours. Oral and written comments may be presented to the City Council on, or before, the date of the meeting.

IF YOU CHALLENGE THE CITY’S ACTION IN COURT, YOU MAY BE LIMITED TO RAISING ONLY THOSE ISSUES YOU OR

SOMEONE ELSE RAISED AT THE PUBLIC HEARING DESCRIBED IN THIS NOTICE, OR IN WRITTEN CORRESPONDENCE DELIVERED TO THE CITY, AT OR PRIOR TO THE PUBLIC HEARING.

The bond requires 55% voter approval.

• Phase 1 (Underway): Construction of the new Malibu High School main building, funded by Measure M, expected completion by January 2026. • Phase 2: Construction of a new Middle School building, gymnasium, and aquatics center, scheduled to begin June 2026.
