Agenda Item # 6.A.

Title 17 that would continue to support economic recovery for local businesses impacted by the 2025 Palisades Fire, specifically related to TUPs and Sign Permits. Additionally, the proposed permanent TUP and Sign Permit ordinance would better serve the community and advance the City’s long-term economic development goals by easing regulations for minor events and promoting more business-friendly zoning standards.

Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) was closed from the City’s eastern boundary to the Carbon Beach area starting on January 7, 2025, when the Palisades Fire broke out, and until Memorial Day 2025. Even after the roadway reopened, ongoing traffic controls, intermittent closures, and persistent congestion along PCH continue to cause significant delays, exacerbating access to the city and to local businesses. The prolonged closure and delays on PCH significantly limit access for visitors traveling from the greater Los Angeles area to Malibu, particularly during peak summer seasons when Malibu typically experiences its highest annual visitor volume. As a result, businesses throughout the city have been severely affected by the reduction of visitors, with some Malibu business owners publicly reporting year-over-year losses seen of up to 80 percent. The cause of the drop in visitors is widely attributable to the fire and resulting access restrictions.

The City Council adopted Urgency Ordinance No. 526U on July 14, 2025, in response to the economic impacts from the Palisades Fire described above. The ordinance was intended to help spur economic recovery and support local businesses during this period of lack of visitors. Ordinance No. 526, the follow-up regular ordinance to Urgency Ordinance No. 526U, was subsequently adopted by the City Council on September 8, 2025. Ordinance No. 526 (Attachment 2) is currently in effect and includes minor changes from Ordinance 526U, specifically related to TUPs involving events with 100-250 attendees. The amendments to MMC Title 17 adopted in Ordinance No. 526 include a sunset date of May 31, 2026, reflecting their purpose as both a post-fire economic recovery and a pilot program to evaluate their effectiveness and benefit to Malibu’s business community.

Ordinance No. 526 allowed businesses to obtain a planning clearance for events with 99 persons or fewer. These events were not limited in number per year. Businesses were still required to obtain a permit from the City, so the City could ensure the event did not create a public nuisance, and so the City could notify the public through the City’s online event report. These events were identified as Temporary Use Permits – Planning Clearance (TUPPC).

The ordinance also includes a provision for events with 100-250 persons, which differs from the general TUP ordinance. Businesses utilizing these provisions must submit their applications within seven (7) calendar days of the event date. Public Notices are mailed five (5) days in advance of the event to all neighbors within a 500-foot radius. These events are limited to a total of 48 one-day events per year, with no more than eight (8) one-day events per month per shopping center. For businesses not located in a shopping center, a total of 24 one-day events are allowed, with no more than two (2) one-day events per 2

Agenda Item # 6.A.
business per month. These events were identified as Temporary Use Permits – Express (TUPE).

Events with more than 250 persons are required to obtain a regular TUP, which is limited to six (6) per calendar year, per parcel, and the application must be submitted at least 35 days in advance of the event. These requirements limit the ability to plan events on short notice. Prior to the adoption of Ordinance No. 526, even small events of less than 100 persons were required to obtain a regular TUP, which counted towards the six-event annual limit per parcel. Ordinance No. 526 provided businesses with greater opportunity to host more small-scale events and attract visitors, supporting economic recovery and longer-term economic development. The ordinance has been well received by Malibu business owners, and based on this experience, staff is recommending the Council initiate a Zoning Text Amendment to make the ordinance permanent. To date, no code enforcement complaints have been received for any events approved under the program period to date. Staff may also explore additional opportunities to support businesses, such as eliminating permit requirements for minor holiday events, including temporary ornamental Christmas tree displays or trick-or-treat events for residents. Below is a snapshot of the ordinance’s success from its adoption in July 2025 through January 2026.

As stated previously, the ordinance is scheduled to sunset on May 31, 2026.

TUPPCs, TUPEs, and TUPs approved from July 14, 2025 through January 21, 2026 Event Type Number Approved Code Enforcement Complaints
TUPPC (99 or less) 19 0
TUPE (100-250) 5 0
TUP (250+) 10 0
To date, only one temporary sign permit has been approved during the program period.

Staff has left the option open for Council to consider adopting the temporary sign regulations permanently or to direct staff to remove this provision from the permanent ordinance. The temporary signs regulations applicable during the program period are outlined in Ordinance No. 526 (Attachment 1). The Council may also consider other ways to regulate or promote signage.

Zoning Text Amendment

If this resolution of intent is adopted, staff will recommend amendments to the City's zoning code related to permanent TUPs and Sign Permits, including reductions to application and noticing requirements. Staff would also propose allowing more than six (6) TUPs per parcel, per year, while continuing to explore additional ways to ease regulations for minor events. Adoption of the resolution will authorize and direct the staff to prepare a ZTA as described herein.

Agenda Item # 6.A.

Staff requests City Council feedback to help ensure the proposed ZTA aligns with the Council’s objectives. While the Council will ultimately approve the final changes to the TUP and Sign Permit ordinances, staff seeks early direction to maintain consistency with Council’s direction before proceeding further.

STAFF FOLLOW-UP: If the resolution is adopted, staff will prepare a staff report and proposed ordinance, including any environmental review required, bypass ZORACES review, and publish a notice of Planning Commission public hearing.

SECTION 2. Environmental Review.

The City Council has analyzed the project proposal described herein. The 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 l506l(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 has determined that there is no possibility the amendment will have a significant effect on the environment and accordingly, the exemption set forth in Section 15061(b)(3) applies. The amendments to the MMC will not to have a significant effect on the environment as they provide only temporary relief from some current permitting requirements, and still require individual review, conditions, and CEQA review for all events. In addition, the changes do not excuse compliance with the Coastal Act which provides additional protection of the environment and sensitive coastal resources. All of the temporary uses allowed by the proposed ordinance will be required to be restored to its existing state and each event will still require compliance with CEQA individually, as well as the California Coastal Act.

SECTION 3. Zoning Text Amendment Findings.

Pursuant to Malibu Municipal Code Section 17.74.040, the City Council hereby makes the following findings:

A. The subj ect zoning text amendment is consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses and programs specified in the General Plan.
