The City of Malibu has approved Coastal Development Permit No. 15-050, along with Variances No. 15-029 and 16-003, for a residential construction project located at 19750 Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, California. The project, submitted by Vitus Matare on behalf of Santa Barbara Land Company, LLC, involves the construction of a 3,511 square foot, two-story single-family residence. Key features of the build include an attached two-car garage with a rooftop pool and deck, a seawall, retaining walls, and comprehensive landscaping and hardscaping. Additionally, the project includes the installation of a new alternative onsite wastewater treatment system. To facilitate the construction, the project utilizes specific variances to reduce the required front yard setback and allow for building on slopes steeper than 2.5 to 1. The development is classified under Categorical Exemption No. 18-118, following CEQA Guidelines Section 15303(a) and (e) for new construction, indicating that no significant environmental impacts are expected.
