Administrative Coastal Development Permit No. 24-037, Site Plan Review No. 25-038, and Categorical Exemption No. 24-171

The project involves the construction of an 840 square-foot detached second unit with a maximum height of 11.2 feet, accompanied by extensive site improvements including up to 1,168 square feet of impermeable patios and decks, retaining walls and slough structures not exceeding six feet in height, and 2,040 square feet of paths, pavers, and stairways. Non-exempt grading of 208 cubic yards is required, along with the installation of a new onsite wastewater treatment system featuring a 3,634-gallon septic tank and 6,674 square feet of landscaping. The development also necessitates a Site Plan Review due to the presence of slopes steeper than 3:1 to 1:1, triggering additional regulatory scrutiny. These improvements are subject to Administrative Coastal Development Permit No. 24-037, Site Plan Review No. 25-038, and Categorical Exemption No. 24-171, and are being pursued by Bailard Malibu LLC through Schmitz & Associates, Inc. The project is located in Malibu, California, and was posted under a forecast notice by the City of Malibu's Community Development Department.
