The City of Malibu has issued Coastal Development Permit No. 23-067, Variance No. 24-008, Code Violation No. 23-092, and Categorical Exemption No. 24-206 for a residential construction project located at 31587 Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, California. The scope of work involves the construction of a new one-story, single-family residence featuring an attached two-car garage, an onsite wastewater treatment system, a driveway, hardscaping, patio decks, and landscaping. A key component of the project is a variance allowing required fuel modification to encroach into the 100-foot Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Area buffer. The project is managed by the City of Malibu, with Yolanda Bundy serving as the Community Development Director and lead agency contact. According to the Notice of Exemption dated November 17, 2025, the project is exempt from further CEQA review under Guidelines Sections 15303(a), 15303(e), and 15304(b), as it consists of new construction of small structures and minor land alterations with no anticipated significant environmental impacts. The project is categorized under NAICS code 541620.
