Coastal Development Permit No. 24-014, Variance No. 24-025, Variance No. 24-026, Variance No. 24-027; Offer-to—Dedicate No. 24-029, and Categorical Exemption No

The City of Malibu has issued Coastal Development Permit No. 24-014 and associated approvals for the construction of a new 2,536 square foot, two-story single-family residence located at 20222 Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, California. The project scope includes an attached two-car garage with a roof deck, the installation of a new onsite wastewater treatment system, and the construction of retaining walls, a seawall, landscaping, and hardscaping. As part of the agreement, Offer to Dedicate No. 24-029 requires the dedication of a lateral access easement along the shoreline at the rear of the property. The project is supported by several critical variances and exemptions to facilitate construction on the specific site. Variance No. 24-025 allows for construction on slopes steeper than 2.5 to 1 due to landslide activity, Variance No. 24-026 reduces the required factor of safety, and Variance No. 24-027 reduces the required unenclosed parking to a single space. Additionally, the project has been granted Categorical Exemption No. 24-076 under CEQA Guidelines Sections 15303(a) and 15303(e), as it involves the construction of small structures with no anticipated significant environmental impacts.
