Malibu Inn Motel

Project STATUS

Updated  4/25/23 - On April 17, 2023, the Planning Commission postponed the public hearing on the Motel project environmental document and project entitlements to a Special Meeting to be held virtually on May 31, 2023. A staff report will be published in advance of the meeting. The hearing was previously postponed to allow the applicant more time to comply with the Memorandum of Understanding between the City and Regional Water Quality Control Board. 

Based on the required entitlements and because no code amendments are required, the project only requires a hearing before Planning Commission. The project is subject to a local appeal period and is within the Appeal Jurisdiction of the California Coastal Commission. If the project is not appealed, the Planning Commission's decision will be final.
