DIKING, DREDGING, FILLING AND SHORELINE STRUCTURES MALIBU LAND USE PLAN POLICIES 1.1 DESCRIPTION OF THE MALIBU COASTAL ZONE: THE PHYSICAL AND CULTURAL SETTING The Malibu Coastal Zone in Los Angeles County extends approximately 27 miles from the Ventura County line on the west to the Los Angeles city 1-imits on the east (see Figure 1). Inland, the Malibu Coastal Zone.boundary extends approximately 5 miles to include the coastal slopes of the Santa Monica Mountains. The shoreline along the Malibu Coastal Zone contains sand and rocky coastal beaches. The inland portion of the Malibu Coastal Zone generally contains the major canyon system (i.e., watersheds) that intersect the mountain range. The canyons constitute the natural drainage areas that run down from the mountain peaks and interior valleys toward the Pacific. The exception to this is the Malibu Creek watershed which extends inland bevond five miles to the Simi Hills and drains approximately 67,000 acres of watershed into the Malibu Lagoon. The lagoon, its watershed, and the canyon systens form a major wildlife network important to sustaining many of the scenic and natural resource values of the region. The marine environment from Malibu Point westward to the Ventura-Los Angeles County line is in a relativelv undisturbed state. Kelp beds are found in this area, providing habitat for many species of sea life. The marine environment from Malibu Point eastward to Topanga has suffered some biological degradation; kelp beds have disappeared, but reef and rock zones still provide habitat for many species of fish. Broad.sandy beaches at Leo Carrillo, Zuma, Westward and Surfrider beaches provide sun bathing and swimming opportunities for the public. Access to these beaches and the entire Malibu coast is provided by the Pacific Coast Highway and a limited number of cross-mountain roads. The capacity of the Pacific Coast Highway is exceeded regularly on summer weekends as coastal visitors and residents attempt to reach the beach or enjoy a drive along the coast. Land Use patterms vary considerably throughout the region. Both commercial and residential development flank the Pacific Coast Highway from Topanga to Point Dume. The Malibu Civic Center.area, located at the south of Malibu Canyon, and Point Dume Plaza are the major commercial areas. The balance of the.region is generally made up of residential zoned lots in small clusters of about 10,000 square feet to large parcels of 40 acres and more. -2- 1.2.1 THE COASTAL ACT In Octriber 1972, the United States Congress passed Title 16 U.S.C. 1451-1464, which established a federal coastal zone management policy and created a federal-coastal zone. By that legislation, the Congress declared a national interest in the effective management, beneficial use, protection and development of the coastal zone in order to balance the nation's natural, environmental and aesthetic resource needs with commercial-economic growth. The Congress found and declared that it was a national policy "to encourage and assist the states to exercise effectively their responsibilities in the coastal zone through the development and implementation of management programs to achieve wise use of the land and water resources of the coastal zone giving full consideration to ecological, cultural, historic and aesthetic values as well as to the need for economic development (16 U.S.C. 1452b). As a result of that federal enactment, coastal states were provided a policy and source of funding for the implementation of federal goals. The California Coastal Zone Conservtion Act of 1972 (Proposition 20) was a temporary measure passed by the voters of the state as a ballot initiative. It set up temporary coastal commissions with permit authority and a directive to prepare a comprehensive coastal plan. The coastal commissions under Proposition 20 lacked the authority to implement the Coastal Plan but were required to submit the Plan to the legislature for "adoption and implementation." The California Coastal Act of 1976 is the permanent enacting law approved by the State Legislature. The Coastal Act has a different set of policies, a- different boundary line, and a different permit procedure than Proposition 20. Further, it directs the transfer of most of the authority to local governments through adoption and certification of u.local coastal programs.4 The Coastal Act declares that "to achieve maximum responsiveness to local conditions, accountability, and public accessibility, it is necessary to rely heavily on local government and local land use planning procedures and enforcementu in carrying out the state's coastal objectives and policies (Section 30004). To this enid, the Act directs each local government lying wholly or partly within the@coastal zone to provide a local coastal program (LCP) for its portion of the coastal zone. An LCP consists of "a local government's land use plans*, zoning ordinances, -zoning district maps, and implementing actions which, when taken together, meet the requirements of, and implement the provisions and policies of [the Coastal Act] at the local level.u (Section 30108.6) The land use plan, the heart of the LCP, is defined as: The relevant portions of a local government's general plan, or local coastal element, which are sufficiently detailed to indicate the kinds, location, and intensity of land uses, the applicable resource protection and development policies, and, where necessary, a listing of implementing actions. (Section 30108.5) -3- The LCP zoning ordinance and district maps must conform with and be adequate to carry out the LCP land use plan. Upon approval by Los Angeles County of the Malibu LCP land use plan and zoning ordinance, they will be submitted to the California Coastal Commission for review and certification. After certification of the land use plan and zoning components of the Malibu LCP, the review authority for new development within the coastal zone, which is now vested in the Coastal Commission prior to certification, will be returned to the County of Los Angeles. The County, in issuing coastal development permits after certification, must make the finding that the development is in conformity with the approved Malibu LCP. Any amendments to a certified LCP will have to approved by the California Coastal Commission. The legislature specifically mandated that "the precise contents of the local coastal program shall be determined by the local government, consistent with Section 30,501, in full consultation with the Commission and with full public participation." [Section 30500(c)] This submittal reflects the land use plan section of that local coastal program requirement. The legislature further recognized that various conflicts may occur between one or more policies of the Coastal Act of 1976 (Section 30007.5). The Coastal Act of 1976 delineates a series of policies addressed to Environmental protections, standards for new development, and concern for protection of private property rights. The legislature expressed a concern to protect the natural and scenic resources, and prevent deterioration and destruction of the ecological balance of the coastal zone. Yet at the same time, the legislature was concerned that further balanced development occur for the economic well-being of the community. Finally, the legislature specifically prohibited both local government and the Coastal Commission from acts inconsistent with constitutional private property rights. "The legislature hereby finds and declares that this division is not intended and shall not be construed as authorizing ... (government] to exercise their power to grant or deny a permit in a manner which will take or damage private property for public use, without payment of just compensation therefor. This section is not intended to increase or decrease the rights of any owner of property under the Constitution of the State of California or the United States" (Section 30010). After the Malibu LCP has been certified by the Coastal Commission, the County of Los Angeles assumes responsibility for administering coastal development permits for the Malibu Coastal Zone, except for developments proposed on submerged lands, tide lands, and public trust lands. Permit authority under Chapter 7 of the Coastal Act will then rest with the County of Los Angeles, and development within the Malibu Coastal Zone, including special district, state, and most federal actions, is to be allowed only if found to be in conformity with the certified LCP. -4- Pursuant to Section 30603 of the Coastal Act, only certain kinds of developments can be appealed to the 'Califo'rnia Coastal Commission after a local government's LCP has been certified. These include: (1) Developments approved by the local government between the sea and the first public road paralleling the sea or within 300 feet of the inland extent of any beach or of the mean high tide line of the sea where there is no beach, whichever is the greater distance. (2) Developments approved by the local government not included within paragraph (1) above located on tidelands, submerged lands, public trust lands, within 100 feet of any wetland, estuary, stream or within 300 feet of the top of the seaward face of any coastal bluff. (3) Developments approved by the local government not included within paragraph (1) or (2) above that are located in a sensitive coastal resource area.* (4) Any development approved by a coastal county that is not designated as the principal permitted use under the zoning ordinance or zoning district map approved pursuant to Chapter 6 of the Coastal Act (commencing with Section 30500). (5) Any development which constitutes a major public works project or a major energy facility. The California Coastal Commission is also required to review periodically-the progress of local governments in carrying out the Coastal Act and certified LCPs. This review is to occur at least once every five years. 1.2.2 PUBLIC PARTICIPATION AND THE LOCAL COASTAL PLANNING PROCESS The process of preparing a local coastal program (LCP) generally occurs in three phases. The first phase of the LCP process involves issue identification. In accordance with the Coastal Commission's LCP Regulations, the purpose of Phase I (issue identification) is to: "(1) determine the policies of the Coastal Act that apply in each jurisdiction; (2) determine the extent to which existing local plans are adequate to meet Coastal Act requirements; and (3) delineate any potential conflicts between existing plans and development proposals and the policies of the Coastal Act." *Section 30502 of the Coastal Act requires the Coastal Commission to designate "sensitive coastal resource areas" within the coastal zone. However, in August 1978, the Coastal Commission voted not to designate any "sensitive coastal resource areas" within the entire state. Therefore, no areas exist within the Malibu Coastal Zone in which appeals of local coastal development permit decisions can be made pursuant to #3 above. -5- The culmination of Phase I of the Malibu LCP preparation process occurred in December 1978, when the California Coastal Commission approved an "Issue Identification/Work Program for the Malibu Area." This work program provides the specific issues to be addressed by the Malibu LCP land use plan and a methodology for addressing these issues. In the second phase of the LCP process, the coastal planning issues identified in the work program were addressed, and the LCP land use plan, included herein, was prepared. The land use plan, once certified by the Coastal Commission, is the basis upon which zoning is developed during the third phase of the LCP process. The Coastal Act places great importance on public involvement in carrying out the coastal policies. According to the Act: "The Legislature-finds and declares that the public has the right to fully participate in decisions affecting coastal planning, conservation, and development; that achievement of sound coastal conservation and development is dependent upon public understanding and support; and that the continuing planning and implementation of programs for coastal conservation and development should include the widest opportunity for public participation." (Section 30006) Under the Coastal Act, the responsibility for ensuring meaningful public participation rests both with the Coastal Commission and with local government. Local governments have the main responsibility for involving the public in the local coastal planning. First, the local government will determine "the pr6cise content of each local coastal program ... with full public participation." [Section 3 0500(c)] The Coastal Act also provides that: "During the preparation, approval, certification, and amendment of any local coastal program, the public ... shall be provided maximum opportunities to participate. Prior to submission of a local coastal program for approval, local governments shall hold a public hearing or hearings on that portion of the program which has not been subjected to public hearings within four years of such submission." (Section 30503) During the preparation'of the Malibu LCP land use plan, a series of workshops was held at the Malibu Civic Center to inform the public about the LCP process and to solicit comments on specific issues and proposals. The public workshops held, and their specific topics of discussion, were as follows: @!orkshop Date Topics Discussed June 16, 1982 Overall LCP process; specific planning issues 2 July 14, 1982 Recreation and beach access _6@ 3 August 4, 1982 Public works; diking and dredging; industrial; . archaeology; and agriculture 4 August 18, 1982 Environmentally sensitive habitat areas, marine resources, visual resources, commercial fishing, and hazards 5 August 30, 1982 Alternative land use concepts In addition to the above, a public information meeting will be held, prior to any public hearings, to present the draft LCP land use plan. Extensive public involvement preceded these workshops in the preparation of the Interim Areawide Plan for the Malibu/Santa Monica Mountains, which became the base document for the Malibu LCP. 1.2.3 BALANCED APPROACH IN PREPARATION OF LCP In order to achieve the intent of the Coastal Act of 1976, the overriding goal of this Local Coastal Plan shall be to preserve the unique natural resources and fragile environment of the Malibu/Santa Monica Mountains Coastal Zone for the enjoyment of millions of Los Angeles area residents and visitors, as well as for future generations. Within that-overall goal, this land use.plan seeks a reasoned balance of various valid public interests: the mandate for environmental protection; the necessity of averting degradation or deterioration of our natural resources; the needs of our entire community for the continued economic growth through wisely-planned commercial and housing development; the needs for public access and recreational opportunities; the constitutional rights of private property ownership. On that basis, this land use plan is a product of balanced local decisions predicated upon the mandates and directives of the Coastal Act of 1976, the federal Coastal Zone Management Act (16 U.S.C. 1451-1464), the federal Civil Rights Act (42 U.S.C. 1983) and the guarantees of the 5th and 14th Amendments of the United States Constitution and Article 1, Section 19, of the California Constitution. 1.2.4 RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER COUNTY PLANS This Malibu Local Coastal Program land use plan is part of the County of Los Angeles General Plan Coastal Element, along with LCPs for the other coastal planning units of Los Angeles County within the coastal zone (Santa Catalina, Marina del Rey, and Los Alamitos). Together, the four units with their land use plans and implementation-programs will comprise the County's entire Local Coastal Program as well as the Coastal Element of the General Plan. -7- On December 29, 1981, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors adopted an "Interim Area Plan for the Malibu/Santa Monica Mountains." This plan included an area much larger than the Malibu Coastal Zone extending several miles inland. Although the Area Plan is "interim" until December 31, 1982, it is suggested that the County extend its effective period until the adoption and certification of the Malibu LCP, at which time it will supersede the Area Plan for the coastal sections. The Malibu Local Coastal Plan provides a framework for future development and establishes policies in order to guide government in everyday decisions. Furthermore, the LCP is an extension or refinement of the Los Angeles Countywide General Plan and focuses on local issues and concerns. Nothing in this Coastal Plan shall be construed to prevent the construction of a single-family home on an existing lot because of the size of the lot. Although the major components of the General Plan and LCP have different roles, they are not mutually exclusive. The LCP serves to provide. governmental decision-makers with a local perspective, a6d-with guidelines appropriate to local issues. For example, land use, and recreation and coastal resource protection policies will be more detailed and specific. However, decisions made must reflect the direction set by both the county-wide plan and LCP. Countywide issues not specifically addressed (or elements not included in the LCP) are applicable to the LCP. These issues are found in the County General Plan. 3.0 GENERAL GOALS AND OBJECTIVES The following general policies shall provide the framework for the Land Use Plan: 1. The policies of Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act (PRC Sections 30200 through 30263 shall be the guiding policies of the Land Use Plan). 2. Where policies wit 'hin the Land Use Plan overlap, the policy which is the most protective of coastal resources shall take precedence. In this context, broader policies which, for example, serve to concentrate development in close proximity to urban and employment centers may be more protective, overall, than specific wildlife habitat and other similar resource policies. 3. Where there are conflicts between the policies set forth in the Land Use Plan and those set forth in any element of the County's General Plan, existing ordinances, or other County regional plans, the policies of this Land Use Plan shall take precedence. 4. Prior to the issuance of a coastal development permit, the County shall make the finding that the development reasonably meets the standards set forth in the Land Use Plan. 4.1 RECREATION AND COASTAL ACCESS 4.1.1 RECREATION B. RECREATION AND VISITOR-SERVING FACILITIES a. General Policies. Pl Provide recreational opportunities to meet the variety of recreation demands. P2 Provide for passive and educational, as well as active, recreational opportunities. P2b Provide for the widest feasible distribution of public recreational facilities, including parking facilities, throughout the Malibu/Santa Monica Mountains coastal zone, so as to avoid overcrowding or overuse by the public of any single area. b. Interagency Coordination Policies. P3 Cooperate in the efforts of local, state, and federal agencies in providing recreation programs. P4 Make use of citizen volunteers to assist in the development, maintenance, and operation of recreational facilities. P5 Encourage cooperation between departments to facilitate the,multiple use of public rights-of-way consistent with public safety. P6 The County of Los Angeles should work with the National Park Service and State Parks to determine the extent of impacts within the County from additional visitation generated by state and national parks. P6b Notice pf proposed developments located outside existing developed areas shall be provided to the National Park Service for review under the 'Land Protection Plan. C. Acquisition of Private Lands and Policies P7 [Deleted] P8 For federal funds which are earmarked for acquisition and not available for development and operations, high priority should be assigned to acquisition of property within Significant Ecological Areas. P9 Utilize open space easements and dedications, where appropriate, to facilitate the objectives of a recreational program. -9- PIO Encourage the multiple use of public land and easements, where appropriate, such as flood inundation areas, for recreational purposes including trails, consistent with protection of environmentally sensitive habitat areas. Pll Encourage the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area to provide a wide variety of outdoor recreation activities and opportunities to metropolitan Los Angeles. P12 Create an incentives program that would encourage landowners to make lands available for public recreational uses. P13 Accept private land donations which are compatible with the recreation policy. d. Environmental Compatibility Policies P14 Program recreational use to minimize the adverse impact on natural elements. P15 Treat each public beach and inland recreational area as unique, not uniformly. Beaches and parks shall be classified and their use regulated according to their ability to withstand adverse impact. Their use and value as a recreational amenity should be defined and quantified. Use of State Beaches and Parks should be guided by a general development plan prepared for the State Parks and Recreation Commi s s i on . P16 Require that entrance roads, parking facilities, and other necessary developments in recreation.areas be designed to maintain environmental and visual compatibili ty with the surrounding area. Pl6b No development other than that necessary to protect public health, safety, and welfare or to provide small-scale beach-related commercial uses shall be permitted on public beaches. Examples of permitted development shall include lifeguard stations, restrooms, seawalls where necessary to protect existing structures, and small concession stands. New paving for parking lots shall not be permitted on'sandy beaches, unless a comparable replacement area of sandy beach is restored through removal of existing paving or structures. Construction of major commercial facilities such as hotels or restaurants shall not be permitted on sandy beaches. e. Commercial Recreation Policies P17 Encourage the development of commercial recreational and visitor-serving facilities at suitable locations which provide convenient public access, adequate infrastructure, convenient parking, and, when feasible, which are focused at locations where existing low cost recreation uses will be enhanced. Such uses shall _10- not displace existing recreational uses unless a comparable replacement area is provided. Existing parking areas serving recreational uses shall not be displaced unless a comparable replacement area is provided or alternative means of improving access to the recreational area are assured, such as improved public transit facilities or services. Among other sites, encourage development of commercial recreational and visitor-serving facilities at two development centers (Malibu Civic Center and Point Dume-Paradise Cove) and at one subcenter (mouth df Topanga Canyon). Pl7b Encourage on limited non-sand areas of public park lands the development of commercial recreation and visitor-serving facilities which complement visitor-serving facilities on private land in order to yield lease, concession, and other revenues to offset beach and recreation facility operation and maintenance costs, including those associated with operation of vertical beach accessways. In particular, the following may be allowed if consistent with all other policies of the LUP: 1) A recreational vehicle park may be developed on the bluff at Nicholas Canyon County Park, 2) Overnight recreational vehicle use may be established on a portion of the Zuma Beach parking lot, so long as net year-round visitor usage to the beach is increased. P18 Encourage commercial recreational development which supplies recreational uses not publicly.available. Pl8b Protect, expand, and . where feasible, provide new lower cost recreation and visitor-serving facilities, especially public recreational facilities. In particular, consider the feasibility of providing lower-cost hostels in conjunction with development of new. hotels. Encourage any new or expanded facilities to utilize sensitive design that is well integrated with the surrounding environment and public access. Pl8c On land suitable for visitor-serving commercial recreational facilities, provide priority for visitor-serving facilities over private residential, general industrial, or general commercial development. P19 Ensure that the types and intensities of commercial recreational uses are environmentally compatible with the area and the site. P20 Locate commercial recreation facilities to efficiently utilize public services, particularly the road system. P21 Encourage that recreation-oriented commercial uses serve as support facilities for public recreation areas. P22 Site and design recreation-serving commercial uses to minimize traffic hazards and disruption of residential areas. P23 Provide that commercial recreation uses may locate near parks and recreation areas where the intensity does not detract from the park experience and the two are mutually supportive. f. Compatib ility of Recreation Uses with Adjacent Development Policies P24 Design public recreation facilities to minimize the impact on 4 Vi neighboring communities. Similarly, design new land di sions to minimize impacts of residential use on neighboring recreational land. P25 Rrotect adjacent neighborhood areas, to the extent feasible, from noise, visual and traffic impacts from new recreation areas. g. Specific Recreational Improvements Policies P26 Encourage the development of onshore support facilities for scuba diving, windsurfing, and other water sports at the following potential locations, consistent with P16b: Zuma Beach Paradise Cove Malibu Pier Topanga Beach P27 Encourage the installation of barbecue pits and/or picnicking facilities at: Zuma Beach Westward Beach Leo Carrillo State Beach C. TRAILS AND BIKEWAYS P28 Encourage implementation of the adopted Bikeways Plan in the Malibu Coastal Zone-. P29 Upgrade the existing bikeway corridor along Pacific Coast Highway to eliminate the present hazards between motor vehicles and bicycles. At a minimum, it shall be improved to a Class II bikeway, including a separate striped lane. Such shall be accomplished in concert with any improvements of Pacific Coast Highway. Ensure that improvements to Pacific Coast Highway do not adversely affect the use of the highway as a major bicycle route. _12- P30 Formalize bike paths in existing roadways as the latter are subject to improvement and potentially hazardous conditions are corrected. P31 Initiate a program to provide bike racks, lockers, or other devices for securing bicycles in convenient locations at beach and mountain parks and staging areas. P32 Provide a safe trail system throughout the mountai-n and seashore that can achieve the following: o Link major recreational facilities o Link with trail systems of adjacent jurisdictions o Provide recreational corridors between the mountains and the coast o Provide for flexible, site-specific design and routing to minimize impact on adjacent property, communities, and fragile habitats. In particular, ensure that trails located within Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Areas are designed to protect fish and wildlife.values. o Provide connections with populated areas o Provide for and be designed to accommodate multiple use (walking, hiking and equestrian) wherever appropriate. o Facilitate linkages to community trail systems o Provide for a diversity of recreational and aesthetic experiences o Reserve certain trails for walking and hiking only. o Prohibit public use of motorized vehicles on hiking/equestrian trails. P33 Protect the health and safety of trail users as well as adjacent residents. P34 Ensure that trails are used for their intended purpose and that trail use does not infringe upon or violate private property rights. P35 Protect property owners from claims of liability of trail users. P36 Assure that the trail areas are maintained in good condition and free of litter and debris. P37 Design and locate trails and/or adjacent development so that neither intrudes unnecessarily on the environment of the other. -13- P38 Assure that adequate mechanism to achieve Policies 34 through 37 are in place for a particular trail prior to the opening of that trail for public use. P39 Ensure that the public and landowners shall be notified during the preliminary planning and have the right to participate in the selection of the final alignment of trails. P40 The opening of a trail for public use shall occur only after a public and/or private agency has agreed to accept the operation, maintenance and management responsibility. Trails shall coexist with the developing areas within the Santa Monica Mountains and not preclude development. P41 In determining which trail segment shall be implemented at a time when development funding is available, special attention shall be directed at identifying user demand. Areas of the highest user demand shall receive the highest priority for development in order to maximize the recreational opportunities within the Malibu Coastal Zone. Similarly, multi-use facilities, including hiking and equestrian uses, shall receive a higher priority than single-use facilities. P42 Duplication of trail locations within close proximity to one another shall receive a low priority for development and should be considered after all primary trail corridors have been implemented. P43 Vehicular use of unimproved access roads should not preclude alternate trail alignments adjacent to said access roads. P44 A trail dedication requirement shall be a condition of approval for new development as defined in Coastal Act Section 30212(b) where the property encompasses a mapped trail alignment, as indicated in Figure 3 of the LUP, or where the Coastal Commission has previously required trail easements. Nothing in this policy shall preclude relocating a trail that has historically been used by the public as a trail so long as the new trail is equivalent for purposes of public use. Both new development and the trail alignment shall be sited to provide maximum privacy for residents and maximum safety for trail users. Property owners and residents shall not be permitted to grade or develop the trail area.in such a way as to render the trail unsafe or unusable. Where a trail is proposed prior to development occurring in an area, credit shall be given to the landowner that will run with the land by formal agreement if a donation is involved. The dedication of a trail right-of-way shall give the landowner the right to request the County to deduct that area from the assessed area of that parcel for tax purposes. It is expressly understood that the public agency shall accept the public liability for operation of the trail.. -14- P45 The County Department of Parks and Recreation shall work with appropriate public agencies and nonprofit groups to implement a trail segment or loop system within the Santa Monica Mountains within 12 months after the Coastal Commission certification of the LCP. This trail will be developed as a cooperative planning effort to demonstrate how a pub1ic trail can be protected, developed and maintained at little or no cost through the incentive programs discussed within this text and public support in maintenance and operation. P46 A trails fund shall be considered which establishes a horse license and/or users fees for horses within the unincorporated area of the Santa Monica Mountains. This fee shall be administered by the County for the purpose of acquiring, developing and maintaining riding and hiking trails within the mountain zone. When possible, these funds shall be used as seed money to attract matching grant money and donations for the trails system within the Santa Monica Mountains. 0. RECREATIONAL BOATING P47 Encourage continued operation/expansion of private boat..launch facilities at Paradise Cove Pier and the Malibu Yacht Club. P48 Encourage the establishment of boat storage facilities in the vicinity of existing launch facilities. 4.1.2 COASTAL ACCESS 1. GENERAL POLICIES P49 In accordance with Section 30214(a) of the Coastal.Act, the time, place, and manner of public beach access requirements for new development will depend on individual facts and circumstances, including topographic and site characteristics, the capacity of the site to sustain use at the intensity proposed, the proximity to adjacent residential uses, the privacy of adjacent owners, the feasibility to provide for litter collection, and safety of local residents and beach users. Specific vertical access requirements are contained in P56 below. P50 In accordance with Section 30214(b) of the Coastal Act, the requirement of access shall be reasonable and equitable, balancing the rights of the individual property owner and the public. Vertical Access P51 For all land divisions, non-residential new development, and residential new development-on lots with 75 or more feet of frontage or with an existing drainage or utility easement connecting a public street with the shoreline or on groups of two or more lots with-50 - - - --- ------- feet or more of frontage per lot, an irrevocable offer of dedication of an easement to allow public vertical access to the mean high tide line shall be required, unless public access is already available at an existing developed accessway within the standard of separation provided under "Beach Access Program" (see below). "New development" shall be 'as defined by Public Resource Code Sec. 30106 and Sec. 30212(b). Such offer of dedication shall be valid for a period of 21 years, and shall be recorded free of prior liens except tax liens. The access easement shall measure at least 10 feet wide. Where two or more offers of dedication closer to each other than the standard of separation provides have been made pursuant to this policy, the physical improvement and opening to public use of offered accessways sufficient to meet the standard of separation shall result in the abandonment of other unnecessary offers. Exceptions to the above requirement for offers of dedication may be made regarding beaches identified in the Land Use Plan's Area-Specific Marine Resource Policies (Plll through P113) as requiring limitations on access in order to protect sensitive marine resources. LATERAL ACCESS P52 For all new development as defined in Public Resource Code Sec. 30106 and 30212(b) between the first public road and the ocean, an irrevocable offer of dedication of an easement to allow public lateral access along the shoreline shall be required unless findings are made, consistent with Section 30212 of the Coastal Act, that access is inconsistent with public safety. Such offers of dedication shall run with the land in favor of a public agency or private association approved by the Executive Director of the Coastal-Commission. Such offers shall be in effect for a period of 21 years, and shall be recorded free of prior liens, except tax liens. The area subject to an access easement shall extend from the mean high tide line landward to (a) the dripline of an existing or proposed structure, or (b) to the top outer face of an approved seawall or revetment, or (c) to the base of the bluff where the bluff exceeds 5 feet in height, whichever is further seaward. Where the easement area.adjoins a residential structure, as in (a) above, a strip 10 feet wide measured seaward from the structure shall be available only for public pass and repass when the remainder of the easement area is not passable.. Notwithstanding the above requirements, the lateral access requirement on lots fronting Broad Beach shall be as follows: an irrevocable offer of dedication of an easement from the mean high tide line to a line 25 feet inland of the daily high water line. The offer of dedication shall state that the daily high water line is understood by all parties to be ambulatory from day to day, as is the 25-foot wide strip of dry, sandy beach. In no case shall said access easement be closer than 10 feet to the approved development. 6- On shoreline developed with residential uses, the required lateral access easement shall be limited to passive recreational use. In addition, all fences, no trespassing signs, and other obstructions.that may limit public lateral access within the dedicated easement or deed-restricted area shall be removed as a condition of development approval. The County shall accept offers of dedication of lateral access or shall support acceptance by appropriate groups or governmental agencies. P52b For each beach (as defined by Figure 5) which is bordered by residential development, a Beach Agreement may be reached by the County and the beachfront property owners with the approval of the Coastal Commission. Taking into account the beach's characteristics, potential recreation opportunities, the existence of public vertical accessways in the area, and the existence of recorded offers of dedication of lateral access, such an Agreement may establish permitted and prohibited uses and conditions of use, such as hours and area subject to use. In return for establishment of such conditions of use, neighboring property owners and/or the County shall agree not to interfere with such use. Where possible, as part of the Beach Agreement, lateral access offers already recorded shall be accepted by the County, Coastal Conservancy, or other organization acceptable to the Coastal Commission. Lateral access offers which were required in connection with coastal permits already approved may be amended, along with the coastal permits, to reflect the terms of the signed Beach Agreement. The Agreement shall provide for'management of the beach, consistent with the conditions of use and other terms of the Agreement. Additional areas of beach acquired by public agencies through purchase or other means in conformance with P56 may be governed by a Beach Agreement which addresses the beach in question. Prior to the issuance of a permit by the County for development on property adjacent to the mean high tide line, the applicant shall obtain a written determination from.the State Lands Commission that: (a) No State lands and/or lands subject to the public trust are involved in the development, or (b) State lands and/or lands subject to the public trust are involved in the development and all permits that are required by the State Lands Commission have been obtained, or (c) State lands and/or lands subject to the public trust may be involved in the development, but pending a final determination, an agreement has been made with the State Lands Commission for the project to proceed without prejudice to that determination. -17- P54 To help finance the construction and maintenance of new vertical access points, a fund shall be established by the County of Los Angeles to accept reasonable and equitable user fees, franchise fees, and other appropriate revenue. In particular, a one-time fee based on the gross square footage of the structure shall be required of new non-visitor-serving commercial (that is, uses other than hotels, motels, restaurants, and similar uses intended primarily for patronage by visitors) and general office uses approved on the coastal terrace in the Malibu coastal zone for deposit into the fund described herein. P55 To help finance the construction of new vertical access points,.the use of State Energy Resource funds or other state and federal sources shall be encouraged. P55b Where evidence of public prescriptive rights or implied dedication (historic public use) is found in reviewing a coastal permit application, an offer of dedication of the accessway or an equivalent public access easement to protect the types, intensity, and areas subject to prescriptive rights shall be required as a condition of permit approval. Development may be sited in an area of historic.public use only if equivalent type, intensity and area of replacement public access is provided on or within 100 feet of the project parcel. P55c Parking lots for general office buildings shall be designed.with the goal.of serving not only the office development during ordinary working hours, but also public beach parking during weekends-and holidays, in conjunction with public transit or shuttle buses serving beach recreational areas. P55d The County of Los Angeles shall not close, abandon, or render unusable by the public any existing accessway, either vertical or lateral, which is owned or operated by the County. Any accessway which the County or other managing agency or organization determines cannot be maintained in a condition suitable for public use shall be offered to another public agency or private association, acceptable to the Executive Director of the Coastal Commission. 2. BEACH ACCESS PROGRAM Objectives (a) Priorities for improved vertical public access in the Malibu Coastal Zone shall be in accordance with the ranking as depicted in Figure 5 as amended. These priorities are based on the extent to which existing, opened accessways fulfill the standards of separation for vertical acces5ways which are contained in P56 and on the need to protect sensitive environmental resources. As additional vertical accessways are improved and opened, these priorities shall be subject to revision. In addition to the priorities contained in Figure 5, the following criteria shall be applied to the improvement of new vertical accessways: Improvement of access to sandy beaches where there is no current public access. Improvement of accessways already in public ownership or by using offers of dedication which were already made pursuant to the conditions of coastal permits issued by the Coastal Commission or the County where to do so would allow the County to avoid requiring future unnecessary offers of dedication as provided by P51. Capacity to allow emergency vehicle passage from highway to beach and return, except where steepness or the existence of stairs would not allow vehicle use. Improvement of accessways where parking or access to a public transit stop is available. Where possible, new off-street parking or public transit facilities should be provided. Beach access opportunities requiring vertical pedestrian pathways shall not be opened until the improvements are in place and a public agency is willing to accept management and liability for such accessways. (b) The frequency of public access locations shal'l vary accord ing to localized beach settings and conditions as set forth in Policy P56 below. Vertical access standards and related dedication requirements may range from none in areas of major public beach holdings to one accessway per 1,000 feet of shoreline where accessways would be short and directly link roadways with adequate parking or transit access and the beach. In no areas shall there be a requirement for vertical accessway locations at a frequency greater than one per 1,000 lateral feet. P56 Vertical Accessway Standards P56-1 Leo Carillo No new accessways needed - public beach. P56-2 Nicholas Canyon No new ac(fessways needed - public beach with minor private holdings.

P56-20 Topanga No dedications required - public beach. 4.2 MARINE AND LAND RESOURCE PROTECTION 4.2.1 LAND RESOURCES 1. DESIGNATION OF RESOURCES P57 Designate the following areas as Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Areas (ESHAs): (a) those shown on the Sensitive Environmental Resources Map (Figure 6), and (b) any undesignated areas which meet the criteria and which are identified through the biotic review process or other means, including those oak woodlands and other areas identified by the Department of Fish and Game as being appropriate for ESHA designation. P58 Riparian woodlands, streams, oak woodlands, and savannahs which are located in areas of existing development and can no longer support a significant number of species normally associated with healthy habitat shall be designated as "Disturbed Sensitive Resources" (DSRs). These are depicted on Figure 6. P59 Relatively undisturbed watershed areas containing exceptional undisturbed riparian and oak woodlands (or savannahs) and recognized as important in contributing to the integrity of these woodlands shall be designated as "Significant Watersheds". These are depicted on the Sensitive Environmental Resources Map, Figure 6, and include: Arroyo Sequit Zuma Canyon Solstice Canyon Corral Canyon Malibu Canyon Cold Creek Canyon Tuna Canyon Trancas Canyon and other areas identified by the Department of Fish and Game shall be added to the list of Significant Watersheds. P60 Oak woodlands (non-riparian) or savannahs located outside Significant Watersheds shall be considered as significant resources and are depicted on Figure 6. -24- P61 Maps depicting ESHAs, DSRs, Significant Watersheds, and Significant Oak Woodlands and Wildlife Corridors (Figure 6) shall be reviewed and periodically updated to reflect current information.. Revisions to the maps depicting ESHAs and other designated environmental resource areas shall be treated as LCP amendments and shall be subject to the approval of the Coastal Commission. P61b Apart from the other provisions of the Land Use Plan, the application of those standards that apply specifically to sensitive environmental resource areas shall be limited to those areas as depicted on Figure 6 pursuant to the provisions of Policy 61. P62 For areas designated as Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Areas or Significant Watersheds, a mechanism should be established to compensate property owners for the loss of any potential development rights. 2. PROTECTION OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES P63 Uses shall be permitted in ESHAs, OSRs, Significant Watersheds, and Significant Oak Woodlands, and Wildlife Corridors in acc ordance with Table 1 and all other policies of this LCP. P64 An Environmental R eview Board (ERB) comprised of qualified professionals with technical expertise in resource management (modeled on the Significant Ecological Areas Technical Advisory Committee) shall-be established by the Board of Supervisors as an advisory body to the Regional Planning Commission and the Board to review development proposals in the ESHAs, areas adjacent to the ESHAs, Significant Watersheds, Wildlife Corridors, Significant Oak Woodlands, and DSRs. The ERB shall provide recommendations to the Regional Planning-Commission (or decision-making body for coastal permits) on the conformance or lack of conformance of the project to the policies of the Local Coastal Program. Any recommendation of approval shall include mitigation measures designed to minimize adverse impacts on environmental resources. Consistent with P271 (a)(7), projects shall be approved by the decision-making body for coastal permits only upon a finding that the project is consistent with all policies of the LCP. P65 The Environmental Review Board shall consider the individual and cumulative impact of each development proposal within a designated Significant Watershed. Any development within a significant watershed shall be located so as to minimize vegetation clearance and consequent soil erosion, adverse impacts on wildlife resources and visual resources, and other impacts. Therefore, development should be clustered and located near existing roads, on areas of relatively gentle slopes as far as possible outside riparian areas in canyons and outside ridgeline saddles between canyons which serve as primary wildlife corridors. P66 [Blank] -25- P67 Any project or use which cannot mitigate significant adverse impacts as defined in the California Environmental Quality Act on sensitive environmental resources (as depicted on Figure 6) shall be denied. P68 Environmentally sensitive habitat areas (ESHAs) shall be protected against significant disruption of habitat values, and only uses dependent on such resources shall be allowed within such areas. Residential use shall not be considered a resource dependent use. P69 Development in areas adjacent to environmentally sensitive habitat areas (ESHAs) shall be subject to the review of the Environmental Review Board, shall be sited and designed to prevent impacts which would significantly degrade such areas, and shall be compatible with the continuance of such habitat areas. P71 The clustering of buildings shall be required in Significant Watersheds to minimize impacts unless it can be demonstrated that other environmental mitigation methods would be effective. P72 Open space or conservation easements or equivalent measures may be required in order to protect undisturbed watershed cover and riparian areas located on parcels proposed for development. Where new development is proposed adjacent to Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Areas, open'space or conservation easements shall be required in order to protect resources within the ESHA. P73 The use of insecticides, herbicides, or any toxic chemical substance (with the exception of non-regulated home pesticides considered necessary for maintenance of households) shall be prohibited in designated environmentally sensitive habitats, except in an emergency which threatens the habitat itself. P74 New development shall be located as close as feasible to existing roadways, services, and existing development to minimize the effects on sensitive environmental resources. P75 Development adjacent to parks shall be sited to allow ample room outside park boundaries for necessary fire-preventive brush clearance. ' 3. STREAM PROTECTION AND EROSION CONTROL P76 In accordance with Section 30236 of the Coastal Act, channelizations, dams or other substantial alterations of stream courses shown as blue line streams on the latest available USGS map should incorporate the best mitigation measures feasible, and be limited to (1) necessary water supply projects, (2) flood control projects where no other method for protecting existing structures in the floodplain is feasible and where such protection is necessary for public safety or to protect existing development, or (3) developments where the primary function is the improvement of fish and wildlife habitat. -26- P78 Stream road crossings should shall be undertaken by the least environmentally damaging feasible method. Road crossings of streams should be accomplished by bridging, unless other methods are determined by the ERB to be less damaging. Bridge columns shall be located outside stream courses, if feasible. Road crossings of streams within Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Areas designated by the LCP may be allowed as a conditional use for the purpose of providing access to recreation areas open to the public or homesites located outside the ESHA where there is-no feasible alternative for providing access. Wherever possible,'shared bridges or other crossings shall be used for providing access to groups of lots covered by this policy. P79 To maintain natural vegetation buffer areas that protect all sensitive riparian habitats as required by Section 30231 of the Coastal Act, all development other than driveways and walkways should be.set back at least 50 feet from the outer limit of designated environmentally sensitive riparian vegetation. P80 The following setback requirements shall be applied to new septic systems: (a) at least 50 feet from the outer edge of the existing riparian or oak canopy for leachfields, and (b) at least 100 feet from the Outer edge of the existing riparian or oak canopy for seepage pits. A larger setback shall be required if necessary to prevent lateral seepage from the disposal beds into stream waters. P81 To control runoff into coastal waters, wetlands and riparian areas, as required by Section 30231 of the Coastal Act, the maximum rate of storm water runoff into such areas from new development should not exceed the peak level that existed prior to development. P82 Grading shall be minimized for all new development-to ensure the potential negative effects of runoff and erosion on these resources are minimized. P84 In disturbed areas, landscape plans shall balance long-term stability and minimization of fuel load. For instance, a combination Of taller, deep-rooted plants and low-growing ground covers to reduce heat output may be used. Within ESHAs and Significant Watersheds, native plant species shall be used, consistent with fire safety requirements. P85 Earthmoving operations within Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Areas, Significant Watersheds, and other areas of high potential erosion hazard (including areas with a slope exceeding 2:1) shall be prohibited between November 1 and March 31 unless a delay in grading until after the rainy season is determined by the Planning Director to be more environmentally damaging. Where grading begins before the rainy season, but extends into the rainy season for reasons beyond the applicant's control, measures to control erosion must be implemented at the end of each day's work. _27- P86 A drainage control system, including on-site retention or detention where appropriate, shall be incorporated into the site design of new developments to minimize the effects of runoff and erosion. Runoff control systems shall be designed to prevent any increase in site runoff over pre-existing peak flows. Impacts on downstream sensitive riparian habitats must be mitigated. P87 Require as a condition of new development approval abatement of any grading or drainage condition on the property which gives rise to 0 existing erosion problems. Measures must be consistent with protection of ESHAs. P88 In ESHAs and Significant Watersheds and in other areas of high potential erosion hazard, require site design to minimize grading activities and reduce vegetation removal based on th.e following guidelines: Structures should be clustered. Grading for access roads and driveways should be minimized; the standard new on-site access roads shall be a maximum of 300 feet or one-third the parcel depth, whichever is less. Longer roads may be allowed on approval of the County Engineer and Environmental Review Board and the determination that adverse environmental impacts will not be incurred. Such approval shall constitute a conditional use. Designate building and access envelopes on the basis of site inspection to avoid particularly erodible areas. Require all sidecast material to be recompacted to engineered standards, reseeded, and mulched and/or burlapped. P89 In ESHAs and Significant Watersheds and in other areas of high potential erosion hazard, require approval of final site development plans, including drainage and erosion control plans for new development prior to authorization of any grading activities. P90 Grading plans in upland areas of the Santa Monica Mountains should minimize cut and fill operations in accordance with the requirements of the County Engineer. P91 All new development shall be designed to minimize impacts and alterations of physical features, such as ravines and hillsides, and processes of the site (i.e., geological, soils, hydrological, water percolation and runoff) to the maximum extent feasible. P92 For permitted grading operations on hillsides, the smallest practical area of land should be exposed at any one time during construction, and the length of exposure should be kept to the shortest practicable amount of time. -28- P93 Where grading is permitted during the rainy season (November I March 31), sediment basins (including debris basins, desilting basins, or silt traps) shall be required on the project site prior to or concurrent with the initial grading operations and maintained through the development process to minimize sediment from runoff waters during construction. All sediment should be retained on-site unless removed to an appropriate approved dumping location. P94 Cut and fill slopes should be stabilized with planting at the completion of final grading. I'n Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Areas and Significant Watersheds, planting should be of native plant species using accepted planting procedures, consistent with fire safety requirements. Such planting should be adequate to provide 90% coverage within 90 days, and should be repeated if necessary to provide such coverage. This requirement should apply to all disturbed soils. Jute netting or other stabilization techniques-may be utilized as temporary methods. The County Forestry Division should be consulted for recommendations for appropriate plant materials. P95 Where construction will extend into the rainy season, temporary vegetation, seeding, mulching, or other suitable stabilization methods should be used to protect soils subject to erosion. The appropriate methods should be approved by the County Engineer. P96 Degradation of the water quality of groundwater basins, nearby streams, or wetlands shall not result from development of the site. Pollutants, such as chemicals, fuels, lubricants, raw sewage, and other harmful waste shall not be discharged into or alongside coastal streams or wetlands. 4.2.2 MARINE RESOURCES 1. GENERAL POLICIES P97 Designate as environmentally sensitive those marine and beach habitats shown on Figure 6. P98 Permitted land uses or developments shall have no significant adverse impacts on sensitive marine and beach habitat areas. P99 Development in areas adjacent to sensitive marine and beach habitats shall be sited and designed to prevent impacts that could significantly degrade the environmentally sensitive habitats. All uses shall be compatible with the maintenance of biological productivity of such areas. -29- P100 Where any dike and f ill development is permitted in wetlands in accordance with the Coastal Act and any applicable LCP policies, mitigation measures shall include, at a minimum, either acquisition of equivalent areas of equal or greater biological productivity or enhancement of degraded wetland areas. Within the Malibu Coastal Zone, the disturbed wetland at the mouth of Zuma Canyon should be given a high priority for any wetland restoration in Los Angeles County required by this policy. Interim mitigation measures shall be required for temporary or short-term fill or diking. Furthermore, a bond or other evidence of financial responsibility shall be provided to assure that will be accomplished in the shortest feasible time. PlOl Only resource-dependent uses shall be permitted in sensitive marine and beach habitats. P102 In all sensitive marine and beach habitats, require that all permitted uses shall comply with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife and the State Department of Fish and Game Regulations. P103 For proposed development adjacent to or near sensitive marine or beach habitats, the applicant shall evaluate the potential for significant impacts on sensitive marine or beach habitats. When it is determined that significant impacts may occur, the applicant shall be required to provide a report prepared by a qualified professional with expertise in marine or beach biology which provi-des: (a) mitigation measures which protect resources and comply with the policies of the environmentally sensitive habitats components, and (b) a program for monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of mitigation measures. An appropriate program shall be adopted to inspect the adequacy of the applicant's mitigation measures. P104 When feasible, the restoration of damage to habitat(s) shall be required as a condition of permit approval. 2. AREA-SPECIFIC POLICIES P106 Mouth of Arroyo Sequit The earthen berm south of Pacific Coast Highway across the mouth of Arroyo Sequit should be removed to provide for the unimpeded migration of steelhead trout. P107 Nicholas Canyon County Park Beach access shall be modified to directly connect the parking lot to the beach to discourage foot traffic through the native ground cover. _30- P108 Beach Between Nicholas Canyon and Lechuza Point This area should be retained as a marine area of biological and educational interest. Public use of El Sol, El Pescador, and La Piedra beaches (vicinity of Decker Beach) could impact the sensitive sea lion hauling grounds. Therefore, it is recommended that the state devise a program of public use that will not impact sensitive marine resources. Educational use of this portion of the coastline, with the exception of the sea lion haul-outs, is appropriate if numbers are controlled and the beaches are posted as ecologically sensitive areas. P109 Trancas Beach Coastal Dunes For all new development, vegetation disturbance including recreation or foot traffic on vegetated dunes, should be minimized. Where access through dunes is necessary, well-defined foot paths shall be developed and used. P110 Zuma Beach Lagoon Wetlands The mouth of Zuma Creek on the seaward side of Pacific Coast Highway shall be protected as an educational and ecological reserve. Measures to enhance this small wetland should'include at a minimum: diverting foot traffic from the area, prohibiting grading except for health and safety reasons, removal of introduced weeds, and posting the area as a sensitive wetlands habitat. The graded area on the east side of the creek mouth could be utilized as an observation and educational area. P111 Point Dume The blufftops and adjacent cliffs shall be managed to eliminate erosion and the loss of natural vegetation caused by the formation of foot paths through sensitive habitats. There should be no increased access to the beach between Point Dume and the existing area of development at Paradise Cove. Scientific research in the area should be encouraged but unnecessary collection of specimens or disturbance of the habitat should be prohibited. Use of the Point Dume area for large class field trips should be discouraged and more appropriate areas in the vicinity of Decker Beach utilized, as similar resources and a much larger areas are available at this beach. P112 Paradise Cove -31- There should be no provision for uncontrolled public access in the western portion of Paradise Cove, as this area provides a natural protective buffer between the sensitive Point Dume area and the more intensively utilized Paradise Cove. Future recreational development of Paradise Cove is appropriate at the eastern end; however, there should be no increase in boat traffic that could result in reduction of the size of the offshore kelp beds. It should be noted that increased boat traffic increases the potential for local petroleum contamination. P113 Latigo Point Increased access to the blufftops is permissible in this area. However, increased beach access should be restricted due to the sensitive resources of this rocky headland. , Use of Latigo Point for large class field trips should be minimized due to the potential for habitat degradation. P114 Malibu Lagoon This sensitive wetland area shall be maintained as a managed wetland habitat of ecological, educational and scenic resource values. The following management issues shall be addressed as part of the State's management program: 0 Removal of garbage and fill in the marsh adjacent to the lagoon. 0 Consideration of increase in drainage to decrease the need for mosquito abatement. 0 Provision and design of designated walkways to minimize impacts of uncontrolled foot traffic on sensitive areas. a Maintenance of exchange between lagoon and ocean waters. 0 Prevention of unregulated trespass by people and pets in sensitive marsh and lagoon habitats. These recommendations are consistent with the program presently being initiated at the site by the Department of Parks and Recreation. However, studies should be conducted to determine the source of degradation of water quality and appropriate measures taken to correct the problem (e.g., change discharge requirements of Tapia or eliminate a local leaching problem as required). -32- 3. HABITAT-SPECIFIC POLICIES For specific habitats, the following resource protection policies shall be applied: Kelp Beds P115 Since the County does not have direct jurisdiction over activities that could impact kelp resources, it should request that (a) the Department of Fish and Game carefully monitor the kelp harvesting industry to ensure that such activity will not reduce kelp bed size and range or its productivity as a fish nursery habitat, and that (b) State and Federal agencies carefully monitor activities that may affect marine water*quality such as seepage disposal, dredging, and energy development. Marine Mammal Hauling Grounds (Point Dume, Nicholas Bluffs, Decker Beach) P116 Marine mammal habitats shall not be altered or disturbed by recreational of any other new land uses. P117 The mammal hauling grounds should be monitored; if there is an expansion of hauling grounds within the area, resource protection policies will be applied to the new areas. Sensitive Rocky Points and Intertidal Areas P118 To prevent destruction of organisms which thrive in intertidal areas, no unauthorized vehicles shall be allowed on beaches adjacent to sensitive intertidal areas. P119 Only light recreational use shall be permitted on public beaches which include or are adjacent to sensitive rocky points or intertidal areas. P120 Shoreline structures, including piers, groins, breakwaters, drainages, seawalls, and pipelines, shall be sited or routed to avoid sensitive rocky points and intertidal areas. Seabird Nesting and Roosting Sites (Point Dume) P121 Recreational activities near cliff areas use d for roosting and nesting shall be controlled to avoid disturbance to seabird populations, particularly during nesting season. P122 A 25-foot buffer from blufftops at or above nesting areas shall be required. P123 The disturbance of shorebird nesting and roosting sites shall be discouraged to the extent feasible, but roping-off sensitive areas, posting signs, and/or other appropriate means. -33- P124 To protect seabird nesting areas, no public access shall be provided along the sides of such cliff areas. 4.2.3 VISUAL RESOURCES 1. VIEWSHED PROTECTION P125 New development shall be sited and designed to protect public views from LCP-designated scenic highways to and along the shoreline and to scenic coastal areas, including public parklands. Where physically and economically feasible, development on sloped terrain should be set below road grade. P126 Prohibit placement of signs, utilities, and accessory equipment that obstruct views to the ocean and scenic elements wherever feasible. P127 Provide public viewing locations as turnouts along major cross-mountain roads and Mulholland Highway. P128 In addition to that required for safety, further bluff setbacks may be required for oceanfront structures to minimize or avoid impacts on public views from the beach. Blufftop structures should be set back from the bluff edge sufficiently far to insure that the structure does not infringe on views from the beach except in areas where existing structures on both sides of the proposed structure already impact public views from the beach. In such cases, the new structure should be located no closer to.the bluff's edge than the adjacent structures. 2. VISUAL COMPATIBILITY P129 Structures should be designed and located so as to create an attractive appearance and harmonious relationship with the surrounding environment. P130 In highly scenic areas and along scenic highways, new development (including buildings, fences, paved areas, signs, and landscaping) shall: be sited and designed to pro tect views to and along the ocean and to and along other scenic features, as defined and identified in the Malibu LCP. minimize the alteration of natural landforms. be landscaped to conceal raw-cut slopes. be visually compatible with and subordinate to the character of its setting. be sited so as not to significantly intrude into the skyline as seen from public viewing places. -34- 3. VISUALLY PROMINENT ELEMENTS P131 Where feasible, prohibit placement of structures that will break the ridgeline view, as seen from public places. P132 Maintain the character and value of Mulholland Scenic Corridor, as a scenic and recreational resource connecting public parklands within the Santa Monica Mountains. 4. SITING OF STRUCTURES AND ARCHITECTURAL CHARACTER IN VISUAL RESOURCE AREAS P133 Encourage the use of architectural design for new construction which reflects the unique visual and environmental character of the Malibu Coastal Zone. At the same time, encourage -- within the design idiom -- sufficient diversity in the design character (i.e., scale, height, density, etc.) so that visual monotony does not result. Some differentiation among structures should be encouraged to promote the establishment of a limited number of visual landmarks, except in highly scenic areas where new development should be subordinate to the character of its setting. P134 Structures shall be sited to conform to the natural topography, as feasible. Massive grading and reconfiguration of the site shall be discouraged. P135 Ensure that any alteration of -the natural landscape from earthmoving activity blends with the existing terrain of the site and the surroundings. P136 New development in existing communities should respect the prevailing architectural and visual character of existing structures. P137 Clustering of development in suitable areas shall be encouraged as a means to facilitate greater view protection. P138 Design considerations for commercial dev elopment should include: unifying architectural themes visually aesthetic' screening of service areas height and bulk standards. P138b Buildings located outside of the Malibu Civic Center shall not exceed three (3) stories in height, or 35 feet above the existing grade, whichever is less. P138c Buildings located on the ocean side of and fronting Pacific Coast Highway shall occupy no more than 80% of the lineal frontage of the site. In the case of Planned Developments which occupy more than one parcel, a structure may occupy 100% of the lineal frontage of any parcel, provided that the 20% open area of the overall project is incorporated elsewhere on the highway frontage of the development project. -35- P138d Buildings sited within the Malibu Civic Center area shall be designed to reflect the uniqueness of this location as the "downtown" of the Malibu Coastal Zone and its close proximity to the beach and ocean. Cumulatively, development shall convey a "seaside village" character.

POLICIES AND STANDARDS P177 Prohibit excessive grading and fill on lands which are shown to be groundwater recharge areas. P178 Minimize the flow of sediment and other polluting materials into groundwater recharge areas. P179 Avoid maj.or flood control improvements which would limit water flow to or cover groundwater recharge areas. P180 Assure that urban development over groundwater recharge areas minimizes impervious coverage and maximizes the amount of water which can enter the aquifer zone below ground. 4.3 PUBLIC WORKS 4.3.1 CIRCULATION 1. GENERAL POLICIES P181 Develop road improvements which provide for public safety and accommodate increased recreation traffic. P182 To facilitate recreational access, consider improving existing major cross-mountain roads in a manner that will minimize the impacts of those improvements on natural environmental systems, geologic and slope stability runoff and drainage, and existing communities. P183 Improve the safety and capacity of major intersections in existing developed areas. P184 In scenic areas, encourage aesthetic development of road improvements such as culverts, bridges and overpasses where these are approved consistent with other policies of the LUP; i.e., rock faced culverts and road borders. P185 Incorporate within road improvement projects the roadway design standards from adopted Scenic Highway plans. -41- P186 Make feasible improvements to Pacific Coast Highway to maximize traffic flow and safety, and improve pedestrian and bicycle safety by establishing bike lanes, improving intersections, providing off-street parking, and installing pedestrian overpasses wherever possible. P187 Limit access locations onto major roads that serve as primary access routes to major recreation areas or provide alternative road improvements (e.g., turning lanes or consolidated driveways), in order to avoid reducing their capacities. P188 Consistent with other policies of the LUP, encourage the development and maintenance of alternative access routes to each mountain and coastal community for use during emergencies such as earthquakes or fires. P189 Develop parking facilities for bicycles, motorcycles, and public transit at recreation areas to encourage the use of these modes of transportation. P190 Develop peripheral park-and-ride facilities which can serve weekday commute needs as well as weekend recreation needs. P191 Encourage use of public transit modes (bus or van pool service) by commuters to metropolitan Los Angeles to reduce congestion of Pacific Coast Highway during peak hours. P192 Encourage public trans'It modes and staging areas from metropolitan Los Angeles to the area's parks and beaches. P193 Permit improvement of roads only where such roads provide legal access to parcels which are already legally developed or which may be developed consistent with other policies of the LUP, including Watershed Plans where necessary. 2. SPECIFIC POLICIES P194 The Department of Regional Planning and the Road Department shall support CalTrans efforts to improve traffic flow and safety on Pacific Coast Highway. Implementation methods could include conversion or addition of "reversible" lanes, "flyovers" at major intersections, limitations on highway parking, provision of additional off-street parking, pedestrian overcrossing, and expanding the number of lanes where feasible, except restrictions on or removal of existing on-street parking shall not occur unless a comparable number of replacement off-street parking spaces are provided to serve beach users. Efforts with public transportation agencies to provide extended transit district service from Malibu to the major urban centers of Los Angeles County, to develop a shuttle bus service along the Malibu coastline, and to encourage improved -4,2- charter and van pool services shall be expanded. The Department of Regional Planning and the Road Department shall cooperate with public transit agencies to design specific physical transit improvements along PCH in conjunction with other roadway improvements. P195 Improve Kanan-Dume Road in such a manner that it improves coastal access and safety, while protecting environmental resources. This will also provide an alternative route for traffic from the San Fernando Valley to Point Dume, which will help to divert some vehicle trips from Topanga Canyon and Malibu Canyon. P196 Enhance coastal access and safety on Malibu Canyon Road and/or Topanga Canyon Boulevard by providing frequent passing lanes and adequate pavement width, consistent with other coastal resource protection policies. Malibu Canyon Road between Piuma Road and the entrance to Pepperdine University shall remain a two-lane road. P197 Avoid reduction of capacity of Malibu Canyon Road and/or Topanga Canyon Boulevard by restricting direct access onto the roads. Wherever possible, driveways should access local roads and access to the major roadways be limited to these local roads. In addition, wherever feasible, restrict direct access onto Pacific Coast Highway from new development by providing access via existing local roads and driveways. P198 Upgrade the,capacity of Mulholland Highway, where practical and consistent with other coastal resource protection policies, to provide an alternate east-west route; this is particularly important for emergency situations. Mulholland Highway shall remain a two-lane road, except for passing lanes and safety turnouts. P199 Eliminate or improve the capacity of traffic signals on Pacific Coast Highway, where possible, at locations where substantial congestion occurs in peak hours; additional pedestrian overcrossings would increase intersection capacities. P200 The Road Department and the Department of Regional Planning should establish a "rural" road classification (Limited Secondary) for selected mountain roads, allowing narrower pavement cross sections which more closely conform to topography to minimize grading. Such mountain roads shall be as shown on the Highway Plan Policy Map in the Area Plan adopted on December 28, 1981. P201 Review procedures and standards for road construction and institute changes that require increased consideration of aesthetic and environmental impacts. Roadway improvements permitted under this LCP shall be the least environmentally damaging feasible alternative available. -43- P202 (Deleted] P203 The Road Department, in cooperation with recreation agencies and the SCRTD, should periodically evaluate the need for road improvements necessary to facilitate bus travel on major cross--mountain roads (i.e., extra passing or turning lanes, turnouts, bus shelter, etc.). The Road Department should prepare budget proposals and/or seek grant funding for these improvements, when they are warranted. P204 The County Transportation Commission shall make recommendations to the County Board of Supervisors and to appropriate State and Federal agencies on the financing of facilities to accommodate alternative public transit modes to recreational areas. P205 The County shall cooperate with SCRTD, Caltrans, and Commuter-Computer to support and publicize van pooling and car pooling efforts from the Malibu Coast area to the Los Angeles Region. P206 The County Transportation Commission shall coordinate with the SCRTD their plans permitting a significant increase in regional interconnecting bus service with the Pacific Coast Highway Line and shall recommend to the County Board of Supervisors steps to support the timely improvement of this planned service. 3. SPECIFIC CIRCULATION IMPROVEMENT POLICIES P207 Eliminate the congestion poin-t created by the closely spaced, interconnected traffic signals on the Pacific Coast Highway at Rambla Pacifico and Las Flores Canyon Road by either: reiiming the signals to decrease the length of clearance interval (when all traffic is stopped) and/or the side street green phases, during off-peak times; or studying the possibility of constructing a roadway connection between Rambla Pacifico and Las Flores Canyon Road, approximately 1000 feet north of Pacific Coast Highway, so that one of the signals on Pacific'Coast Highway can be eliminated. Any such connection shall be examined in particular for its potential impact on fish and wildlife resources in Las Flores Canyon. P208 Increase the capacity of Pacific Coast Highway in the eastbound direction, from the approach to the intersection at John Tyler Drive to Malibu Canyon Road, in order to facilitate homeward bound beach traffic on weekend afternoons. P209 Eliminate the need for the pedestrian-activated traffic signal on Pacific Coast Highway at the Malibu Pier by constructing a pedestrian overpass. -44- P210 Where possible without reducing the total number of parking spaces available to beach users in the area, consider eliminating parking. on the inland side of Pacific Coast Highway by shifting the - centerline of the roadway toward the hills, thereby creating larger and'safer parking areas along the ocean side of the highway and additional room for bicycle travel. This will improve safety and increase the capacity of Pacific Coast Highway by reducing mid-block pedestrian crossings of the highway and interference between parking/unparking cars and through traffic. P212 Investigate the feasibility of creating a reversible lane on Pacific Coast Highway which could function as a through lane in the peak direction during peak hours, and a turning lane during non-peak hours. P213 Establish Park and Ride lots along Pacific Coast Highway, including existing lots which are under-utilized which would be serviced by SCRTD for commuters on weekdays and which could be utilized by visitors to recreational areas on weekends. P214 Establish Park and Ride lots along the Ventura Freeway which could be utilized by car poolers traveling to metropolitan Los Angeles on weekdays and which could be linked to the coastal area by a shuttle service on weekends. P215 Encourage SCRTD to improve transfer opportunities between regional transit routes and line 434, serving the Malibu area, potentially by instituting weekend express service from downtown Los Angeles, as currently exists on weekdays. P216 To accommodate full realization of the recreational potential of the Coastal area and build out of the land use plan, upgrade PCH with appropriate improvements. Relate improvements to Pacific Coast Highway to continued development under the Land Use Plan Map through the Development Allocation System described in Policy 274.

NEW DEVELOPMENT POLICY New development in the Malibu Coastal Zone will be guided by the LCP land use plan map and associated development standards and a program for the retirement of the development rights and mitigation of the effects of non-conforming parcels. 1. LAND USE PLAN MAP P271 New development in the Malibu Coastal Zone shall be guided by the Land Use Plan Map and all pertinent overlay categories. The land use plan map is inserted in the inside back pocket. All properties are designated for a specific use. These designations reflect the mandates of the California Coastal Act,-all policies contained in this Local Coastal Plan, and the constraints and sensitivities of resources present in the coastal zone. All existing zoning categories will be modified as necessary to conform with and carry out the LCP land use plan. The land use,plan map presents a base la nd use designation for all properties. Onto this are overlaid three resource protection and management categories: (a) significant environmental resource areas, (b) significant visual resource areas, and (c) significant hazardous areas. For those parcels not overlaid by a resource management category, development can normally proceed according to the base land use classification and in conformance with all policies and standards contained herein. Residential density shall be based on an average for the project; density standards and other requirements of the plan shall not apply to lot line adjustments. In those areas'in which a resource management overlay applies, development of the underlying land use designation must adhere to the special policies, standards, and provisions of the perti.nent designation. -@53- a. Land Use Designation The following describes each land use designation and its principal permitted uses: (1) Residential Mountain Land. Generally very rugged terrain and/or remote land characterized by very low-intensity rural development. Principal Permitted uses would include: very,low-intensity residential development. Low-intensity recreational uses, the undeveloped or open space portions of rural and urban developments, and lower cost visitor residential and recreational uses designed for short-term visitor use such as hostels, tent camps, recreational vehicle parks, and similar uses are permitted as a conditional uses, provided that any residential use for more than short term visitor occupancy shall not exceed the intensity of use of the equivalent residential density. The following maximum residential density standards shall apply: Mountain Land - one dwelling unit per 20 acres average, consistent with other policies of the LCP. Rural Land. Generally low-intensity, rural areas characterized by rolling to steep -terrain usually outside established rural communities. Principal permitted land uses shall include: large lot residential use. Low-intensity commercial recreational uses, agriculture activities, the less intensively developed or open space portions of urban and rural developments, and lower cost visitor residential and recreational uses designed for short-term visitor use such as hostels, tent camps, recreational vehicle parks, and similar uses are permitted as a conditional use, provided that any residential use for more than short term visitor occupancy shall not exceed the intensity of use of the equivalent residential density. The following maximum residential density standards shall apply: Rural Land I - one dwelling unit per ten acres average, consistent with other policies of the LCP. Rural Land II - one dwelling unit per five acres average, consistent with other policies of the LCP. Rural Land III - one dwelling unit per two acres average, consistent with other policies of the LCP. Residential I. Residential areas usually characterized by a grouping of housing units on gently sloping or flat terrain often within established rural communities. Residential I - the maximum residential density standard is one dwelling unit per acre average. -54- Residential II. Low-density suburban residential areas. Residential II - the maximum residential density standard is two dwelling units per acre average. Residential III. Urban residential areas generally characterized by single-family residential homes and low-intensity planned unit developments. The following residential density standards shall apply: Residential III(A) - 2-4 dwelling units per acre average. Residential III(B) - 4-6 dwelling units per acre average. Residential IV. Urban residential areas generally characterized by a mix of single-family detached and multi-family development. The range of densities encouraged the use of Residential Planned techniques which reflect the unique characteristics of each site, adjacent land uses, and environmental and infrastructural constraints. The following residential density standards shall apply: Residential IVA - 6-8 dwelling units per acre average. Residential IVB - 8-10 dwelling units per acre average. Residential IVC - 10-20 dwelling units per acre average. In Categories Residential I through IVC, the principal permitted use is residential at the indicated density. In any single-family residential category, the maximum additional residential development above and beyond the principal unit shall be one guesthouse or other second unit with an interior floor space not to exceed 750 gross square feet, not counting garage space. Second units approved under this policy shall be counted as one-half a-unit for purposes of the Development Allocation System contained in P274. (2) Commercial. Rural Business. Rural Service Center - The principal permitted use is general commercial, industrial and service business to serve the needs of rural communities. Site design review is required to ensure a development is compatible with community character. Residences for the use of the owner/operator are permitted. _55- General Commercial. The principal permitted use is commercial business uses with an emphasis on retail stores to serve local needs. However, this general category does not preclude a full range of local and regional business uses including retail stores, office buildings, service businesses, government facilities, and other similar non-residential uses. Residential uses are not permitted. Office/Commercial Services. The principal permitted use is non-retail office and commercial service businesses serving both local and regional needs. Typical uses would include professional offices, banks, restaurants, and other service-oriented commercial uses. Discretionary site design review is required. Residential uses are not permitted. (3) Visitor-Serving Commercial Recreation Low-Intensity Visitor-Serving Commercial Recreation. The principal permitted use is urban and rural visitor-serving commercial recreation uses characterized by large open space areas with limited building coverage such as golf courses, summer camps, equestrian facilities, and recreational vehicle parks. Not all uses are suitable in every location; discretionary site review is required. Recreation-Serving Commercial. The principal permitted use is recreation-serving commercial uses such as hotels, motels, restaurants, fast-food establishments, recreation clubs and facilities, and sport equipment sales, etc. Not all t@pes of uses or project scales are suitable in every designated location; discretionary site review is required. (4) Parks This category includes public-owned park and beach lands. (5) Institution and Public Facilities This designation indicates existing public facilities and private institutional uses characterized by colleges, schools, government offices, public utility facilities, fire stations and similar uses. (6) Resource Protection and Management Overlays Sensitive Environmental Resources. These areas contain significant vegetation and wildlife which require special protection to maintain their health and diversity. Development of the underlying land use classification must adhere to the performance standards established in Section 4.2.1 Policies 57-75, including Table 1, of this Plan and will be subject to review by the County of Los Angeles Environmental @eview Board (ERB), as well as approval by the coastal-permit issuing agency of the County of Los Angeles. Permitted uses in the following subcategories are: -56- Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Areas - resource-dependent uses, as defined in P57 Significant Watersheds - resource-dependent uses and residential at a maximum density of one unit per 20 acres (existing nonconforming parcels may be developed in accordance with prescribed standards and policies.) Malibu-Cold Creek Resource Management Area resource-dependent uses and residential at the prescribed underlying land use designation. Significant Oak Woodlands and Savannah - resource-dependent uses and residential at the prescribed underlying land use designation. Locally Disturbed Sensitive Resource Areas - resource-dependent uses and residential at the prescribed underlying land use designation. Wildlife Corridors - resource-dependent uses a nd residential uses similar to Significant Watersheds. Visual Resources These areas contain significant visual resources which.require special performance standards to maintain their unique character and quality. Development of the urrderlying land use classification can proceed given adherence to the standards established in Section 4.2.3 of this Plan. Resource protection standards shall apply to the following subcategori es: Significant Ridgelines Scenic Elements and Highly Scenic Areas Scenic Highways Principal Viewsheds Hazardous Areas. These areas exhibit conditions which may present significant hazards to land use development. The underlying land use designation can be implemented provided that the effects of the hazard are successfully mitigated, according to prescribed engineering standards, as determined by the County Engineer. Pertinent standards and conditions of development are defined in, Section 4.2.4 of this Plan. The standards shall apply to the following subcategories: Flood Hazard Areas Potential Landslides and Unstable Soils Fault Areas Tsunami Inundation Areas -57- (7) Discretionary Review All development subject to coastal permits within the coastal zone is subject to findings by the coastal-permit issuing agency of Los Angeles County that it is consistent with the Local Coastal Program. (b) Land Use Distribution The land use plan map provides a framework within which new development can be accommodated within the Malibu Coastal Zone. Generally, it recognizes the presence of existing urban areas and concentrates new development at these locations. It further recognizes the presence of rural villages in the mountain areas and provides for this limited expansion, within the context of their environmental and infrastructural resource constraints. Cognizant of the potential cumulative effects of the buildout of existing small lot subdivisions in the mountains, the Plan designates these areas for low densities and establishes mechanisms by which the potential effects can be mitigated. The following describes the principal provisions of the land use plan map. For the purposes of this LCP, the coastal terrace shall be considered to be an existing developed area, as mapped in Attachment 1. The rural villages, significant watersheds, and other mountain areas shall be considered to be outside the developed area. (1) Coastal "Terrace" Historically, the majority of development in the 65iOOO-a-cre Malibu Coastal Zone has occurred along the 27-mile beach frontage and adjacent inland slopes. Physically, this area is a "terrace" at the base of the Santa Monica Mountains. The Plan provides for the focusing of new development in this area, approximately eight percent of the coastal zone, as it contains the most extensive infrastructure and services. Conceptually, the Plan provides for the infilling of existing developed areas at prevailing densities and some intensification of the major "centers" along the "coastal terrace." The latter includes the following: (a) Malibu Civic Center-Pepperdine University Center. The Plan establishes the area at and adjacent to the mouth of Malibu Creek as the principal community center in the Malibu Coastal Zone. It is designated as a multipurpose area encompassing a variety of uses including retail commercial, office, service business, visitor-serving commercial, governmental, and residential. -58- The most intensive development would be accommodated in the alluvial plain adjacent to the Civic Center facilities and existing commercial. Relatively high-density residential, ranging from 8 to 20 units per acres would be allowed between Pepperdine University, the.existing condominiums and the Civic Center structures. A variety of commercial uses would abut these areas to the west and south. Single-family detached residential units at low densities would act as a buffer between the high-density residential/commercial areas and the Malibu Lagoon. Low-density residential would also be located on the bluffs overlooking the alluvial plain and higher-density uses. At Pepperdine University, the Plan will permit the development of a mix of academic and administration structures, athletic facilities, student and faculty/staff housing, and passive open spaces. At Pepperdine Uni'versity, development within the Iexisting graded campus to accommodate-up to 3,000 FTE (full-time equivalent) students and 300,000 sq. ft. of new building area shall be permitted under this Land Use Plan subject to the following mitigation measures: 1. The University shall secure approval from the County and other regulatory agencies, as necessary, for permanent sewage disposal methods adequate to treat waste to a 'level of tertiary treatment not less than that currently provided at the LVMWD Tapia Facility, for a maximum capacity of 3,000 FTE. Such disposal methods shall, in themselves, be consistent with all the policies of the LCP and specifically not aggravate geologic hazards, degrade ESHAs, or increase public health problems for recreational users or residents. 2. The University shall offer to dedicate a permanent open space and scenic easement over the portions of the University campus falling within the Significant Ecological Area as designated by Los Angeles County plus adjoining areas to equal approximately 150 acres of the northern part of the campus, as approved previously by the Coastal Commission. 3. The University shall offer to ded icate a public trail easement over the Coastal Slope and Mesa Peak trails designated in the University's Specific Plan. The final route selection of these trails shall be subject to review and approval of the Executive Director of the Coastal Commission, after consultation with the Santa Monica Mountains Trails Council. -59- 4. The County of L-os Angeles and the University shall agree to establish a transportation committee to advise the University, Los Angeles County, and the Coastal Commission on transportation issues raised through continued campus development, and on mitigation measures to be incorporated in individual conditional use permits issued for each segment of University expansion. The University shall assist the committee and shall provide its facilities for meetings of the committee. The committee shall be an.independent body composed of community representatives, adjacent landowners, and affected governmental agencies approved by Los Angeles County, Pepperdine University and the Executive Director of-the Coastal Commission. 5. The University shall participate with the County of Los Angeles to create at least five new vertical accessways to the public tidelands where existing offers of dedication have been recorded, consistent with the priorities established by the beach access policies of the LUP. The University shall physically improve such accessways, consistent with County standards, but shall not be responsible for ordinary maintenance of accessways. New development on the University campus may be approved without regard to the above limitation of 300,000 square feet if it can be demonstrated that the development is planned to serve only the existing student body, faculty, or staff. The University shall be responsible for providing appropriate information regarding use of the proposed structures in order to make this determination, as part of the permitting process. The cap on residential development specified in P274 shall not apply to the development of student housing at Pepperdine University, but it shall apply to the development of other housing for faculty or staff. Any additional development beyond 3,000 FTE and 300,000 sq. ft. or outside the existing graded area shall not be permitted unless the University can demonstrate, in a Long Range Development Plan, that all grading, sewer service, visual impacts and traffic impacts can be fully mitigated in a manner consistent with all policies of this LCP. Additional mitigation measures may include the required contribution of funds by the University toward construction of an additional peak hour lane on Pacific Coast Highway, proportional to the University's share of increased peak hour trips, or intersection improvements in the vicinity of the University. It is recommended that a major parking structure and transportation transfer facility be established in this area for visitors to the coastal recreational resources. _60- Beach shuttle buses would be linked to such a facility. This facility could.be integrated with other uses, such as retail commercial, hotels, office-commercial, or other visitor-serving uses. (b) Trancas Beach. The Plan provides for the expansion of existing low-intensity community and visitor-serving commercial uses at the intersection of Trancas Canyon Road and Pacific Coast Highway and the moderate intensification of adjacent residential areas. Approximately 18 to 20 acres of additional commercial use would be accommodated. This may include markets, convenience commercial, restaurants, and other local- and visitor-serving uses. Single-family detached and/or townhouse residential would be permitted, at a maximum density of 6 to 8 units per acres, adjacent to and west of the commercial center. Peripheral residenti al densities would reflect prevailing land use patterns or one unit per acre and less. (c) Point Dume-Paradise Cove Center Existing developed areas flanking Pacific Coast Highway would be permitted to infill, and areas on the inland side would be expanded to link existing development clusters. Residential density designati.ons range from one unit per acre to a maximum of 10 units per acre and reflect adjacent existing densities. The higher densities would be allowed adjacent to existing townhomes and condominiums which are scattered along Pacific Coast Highway. New commercial uses would be permitted on vacant parcels al6ng Pacific Coast Highway adjacent to.the existing commercial uses. These would encompass both local- and visitor-serving uses, similar to the markets, retail and financial establishments, and restaurants which are present today. (d) Topanga Canyon Center Proposed for development as a multiple use urban area providing for commercial business development with emphasis on visitor-serving and highway-oriented commercial uses, such as hotels/motels, restaurants and other convenience uses to serve the visitors to the recently-expanded Topanga State Beach. However, a range of local,and regional business uses, including retail stores, office buildings and service businesses, is not precluded. Multiple residential units up to a maximum density of 8-10 du/acre are permitted. A specific plan in accordance with the provisions of state law (Calif. Government Code, Section 65450 et seq.@ is required. The specific plan shall include, without limitation, regulatory controls specifying the location, intensity and height of commercial and residential uses, public utility improvements, recreational and/or open space areas as well as specifying the measures to mitigate the environmental impacts of the development. The specific plan shall further address the following areas: (1) safe access to and from the adjacent highways; (2) provisions for sewage disposal; (3) a flood plain management plan for flood hazard protection (including measures to mitigate the impact of any required improvements to the stream channel) and a method for the allocation of associated maintenance costs. The specific plan shall include the adjacent area designated 16/8A if that area is proposed for residential development. (e) Pacific Coast Highway Corridor As noted, the narrow corridor along Pacific Coast Highway, from the City of Los Angeles to the Malibu Civic Center area, is already largely developed for residential and commercial uses. New development in this area would infill vacant parcels with the same uses as an integrated mixed-use area. New residential should generally be limited to multiple units. Other areas in the coastal "terrace" would be permitted to infill and expand in designated areas with residential uses' consistent*in density and character with those which currently exist. The prevailing pattern is primarily, low- and moderate-density single-family residential development. Cumulatively the Plan permits the development of no more than 4,000 new residential units and 150 acres of commercial in the coastal "terrace". Development of institutional uses and parklands could occur at any location throughout the area. (2) Rural Vill§_qes New development would be permitted at those locations in the Santa Monica Mountains which have established themselves as "rural villages". To maintain their rural character, such development would be limited to existing prevailing densities. Generally, the Plan establishes a maximum density of one unit per acre in these areas with the potential for other local serving land uses. -62- As many of the rural villages have been subdivided into very small, "urban" scale parcels (4,000-5,000 square feet), the Plan designations will establish the existing lots of record in these areas as "non-conforming". Based on a 1978 County study, this will affect an estimated 3,614 undeveloped and unrestricted parcels. As "non-conforming" parcels these could theoretically be allowed to build out, given compliance with the LCP policies and all County Engineering and Health requirements. It is anticipated that a significant percentage of these lots would not build out due to severe slopes, geologic conditions, septic limitations, the costs of development, and other constraints. If the theoretical buildouts were to occur, they would necessitate implementation of costly infrastructure (sewers or other appropriate technology) and significantly alter the existing density characteristics of these areas. Such infrastructure improvements are not proposed by this Land Use Plan. To mitigate the potential effects and/or reduce buildout, the Plan. proposes a mix of techniques, including development allocation, fee acquisition of property, offers of tax delinquent parcels, consolidation of contiguous lots, red evelopment, and surplus land exchange. (The maximum allowable gross structural area of a residential unit to be constructed on a building site in a rural village shall be determined by the following formula:] Slope-Intensity Formula: GSA (A/5) x ((50-S)/35) + 500 Where: GSA = the allowable gross structural area of the permitted developed in square feet. The GSA includes all substantially enclosed residential and storage areas, but does not include garages or carports designed for storage of autos. A = the area of the building site in square feet. The building site is defined by the applicant and may consist of all or a designated portion of the one or more lots comprising the project location. All permitted structures must be located within the designated building site. -63- S = the average slope of the building site in percent as calculated by the formula: S = I x L/A x 100 Where: S = average natural slope in percent. I = contour interval in feet, at not greater, than 25-foot intervals, resulting in at least 5 contour lines. L = total accumulated length of all contours of interval "I", in feet. A = the area being considered in square feet. All slope calculations should be based on natural (not graded conditions. Maps of a scale generally not less than 1" = 10', showing the building site and existing topographic contours and noting appropriate areas and slopes, prepared by a Licensed Surveyor or Registered Professional Civil Engineer, should be submitted with the application. The maximum allowable gross structural area (GSA) as calculated above may be increased as follows: (1) Add 500 square feet for each lot which is contiguous to the designated building site provided that such lot(s) is (are) combined with the building site and all potential for residential development on such lot(s) is permanently extinguished. (2) Add 300 square feet for each lot in the vicinity of (e.g., in the same small lot subdivision) but not contiguous with the designated building site provided that such lot(s) is (are) combined with other developed or developable building sites and all potential for residential development on such lot(s) is permanently extinguished. All residences approved in small lot subdivisions by the noted slope intensity/gross structural area formula shall be subject to an improvement condition requiring that any future additions or improvements to the property be subject to an additional coastal permit. (3) Significant Watersheds New residential uses would be permitted in the designated Significant Watersheds in accordance with the policies, standards and conditions prescribed in Section 4.3.1 of the Plan. In general, these would permit land divisions to a minimum 20-acre parcel. Where the development of small parcels is determined to yield a potential for significant impacts,.the parcel would be eligible for participation in the development rights retirement program. -64- Based on an average of one unit per 20 acres, the significant watersheds could accommodate a maximum of 532 dwelling units. (4) Other Mountain Areas. New residential development would be permitted in other inland mountain areas at very low residential densities, according to the capability of the land to accommodate such use. Factors such as slope, geologic and soil stability, erosion, and hydrology influence the ultimate buildability of a parcel. The land use designations of the Plan account for these factors. A variety of densities would be accomodated, ranging from one unit per 20 acres to one unit per two acres. An estimated 2,050 new units could be accommodated in these areas. 2. POLICY FOR MITIGATING THE CUMULATIVE IMPACTS OF THE POTENTIAL BUILDOUT OF EXISTING NON-CONFORMING LOTS a. Purpose If all existing nonconforming lots in the Malibu Coastal Zone were built out, a significant portion of the proposed development capacity proposed in this Local Coastal Program would have to be reserved from utilization ih otherwise more appropriate locations. Their development would demand the allocation of urban services not now available at these locations and could adversely affect the resources which remain in such locations. However, despite their legal existence many of the small lots are not buildable physically or economically, within the current standards already imporved by the County upon development applicants. Severe slopes, geologic instability inaccessibility, and other factors will limit the use of these properties. A further problem has been highlighted by the analysis of environmentally sensitive habitat areas. In some cases, properties which are of less than 20 acres in size in the significant watersheds --r and distant from available utilities and access services -- may adversely impact the designated resource management area if developed. Therefore, the program purposes of this mitigation strategy are twofold: (1) to discourage small lot (less than one acre) buildout in existing inland subdivisions, unless adequate services can be provided; and (2) to discourage development of lots of less than 20 acres in designated significant watersheds which are distant from existing services and are determined by the ERB to potentially incur a significant adverse impact on the ESHAs or Significant Watersheds. In essence, these are "non-conforming parcels". -65- b. [Blank] c. Program Approach The County of Los Angeles shall be the administrative entity, through its Regional Planning Commission (@ind staffed by the Regional Planning Department) for carrying out the mitigation strategy. This determination may require coordination with two existing state land conservancies, having lot consolidation programs in the Malibu Coastal Zone, and possibly other agencies. The operation of the mitigation program shall proceed in a manner consistent with, and essentially required by, the other integrated elements of this Malibu Local Coastal Program which deal with land use allocation, environmentally sensitive habitat conservation, and development approval processing. (d) Operational Program P272 consists of six potential techniques. The basic components of the program shall be as follows: (1) The County shall monitor the annual number of building permits issued for development of residential units pursuant to the certified local coastal program. The total permitted development shall not exceed 6,582 residential units; of this total development within small lot subdivisions (Rural Villages) shall not exceed 1200 residential units. Application of the policy will be considered to have removed 2400 parcels from the inventory of usable parcels pursuant to Sec. 30250(a) of the Coastal Act. (2) Public Agency Acquisition Acquire by outright public purchase, for future public use purpose, non-conforming lots and lots in designated Significant Watersheds through the continuing acquisition programs of several agencies. This will require the focusing of all public acquisition funds as rapidly as possible on outright purchase of the appropriate parcels. For example, the National Park Service land acquisition program should buy out the small lots in its designated purchase areas. The State Parks Department should do the same, if there are small lots contiguous to its holdings or intended holdings. Depending upon authorized program directions, the Topanga-Las Virgenes Resource Conservation District could also become a property purchaser. Either or both of the current Conservancies (Mountain and Coastal) should continue their purchase programs, in linkage with the local trust(s). It may also be necessary and appropriate for other agencies, such as the two water districts (Los Angeles County District No. 29, and Las Virgenes Municipal Water District) to protect watersheds by acquisition. 66- A concerted effort, assisted by County coordination, of many parties can result in a mix of: (a) Small lots purchased outright for park and recreation use, and not regenerated as "TOUs" (transfer of development units) (i.e., a development right sale). (b) Small lots purchased outright for watershed and stream bed protection, and not regenerated as TDUs. (c) Small lots purchased for property consolidation purposes where the purchasing entity may also sell a development unit credit to a receiver area developer. In order to be an effective program, the small lot reduction effort by many public agencies simultaneously must be managed through a coordination system and should have a consolidated annual work program, even though the separate agencies will have their own budgets. The County Regional Planning Department should enter into memoranda of agreement with each acquisition entity to assist in the coordination of such a program. (3) Offer Tax Delinquent Lots to Adjoining Owners Following designation of tax delinquent parcels (a) in County control, and (b) available for County and/or private purchase at auction, the Regional Planning Department should be empowered to act to plan such "mitigation parcels" in advertisement to adjoining property owners under attractive terms which would provide incentives for acquisition and consolidation into larger conforming properties. Such incentive terms should be spelled out in an enabling ordinance, and should allow the Regional Planning Department the right of precedence over the normal processes of tax delinquent property offering and sale. The incentives may include offer of tax abatement to the level of minimum coverage of the cost of fire danger s.uppression (i.e., that portion of taxes allocated to the Los Angeles County Consolidated Fire District). (4) Lot Consolidation Where Ownerships are Contiguous Presently, there are no incentives to an owner of contiguous legally divided lots to voluntarily consolidate the lots into larger single holdings. The County should devise incentives which provide stimulants for lot consolidation by owners of contiguous lots. These could include: (a) Offer of County tax abatement (collecting only the Fire District Portion.) -67- (b) Offer of forgiveness of map processing, drawing and application processing costs (the tasks would be performed by the Regional Planning Department staff). (5) Redevelopment Technique In several cases where many small lots lie undeveloped in an historic subdivision, it may be economically and physically feasible to replat the properties to provide for cluster development and adequate utility and access services. The County Community Development Commission acts as the Los Angeles County Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) under State law and may initiate studies and project plans with the review and consent of the Regional Planning Commiss-ion. The redevelopment technique requires adoption by ordinance, after pub,lic hearing, of a redevelopment project plan which provides explicit powers and responsibilities t *o both the CRA and the existing property owners, as well as appropriate physical development controls. The redevelopment project can provide for partial internal financing of its costs via the tax increment financing method. Existing property owners have the first rights to participate in development of the resubdivided properties. In order to actually cause property assembly into more appropriate development sites, the CRA may buy and sell lots within the project area, help finance installation of public improvements, and help prepare sites which will then be developable. A redevelopment project may require 7 to 10 years or more to carry out. The County may consider the application of this technique in those historic tracts which have very high numbers of undeveloped lots, where it is determined that further buildout will be consistent with the Local Coastal Program and with the provision of incremental utilities and urban services. Such a program may also feature rehabilitation of existing roadways and utility systems within an adopted redevelopment project. (6) Lot Exchange for Surplus Governmental Properties The County should seek to provide owners of non-conforming properties in the coastal zone with opportunities to exchange their lots for surplus governmental properties in more suitable development areas inside and outside the coastal zone. The Regional Planning Department should be authorized by ordinance to coordinate with agencies which hold available surplus properties (County, State, and Federal) and with owners of non-conforming properties in the Malibu Coastal Zone to help facilitate land trades. Depending upon surplus site availability, this technique may be essentially an alternate means of non-conforming lot acquisition by means of trade rather than cash compensation. -68- If it is not the objective of the trading agency to hold exchanged property in the coastal zone, a means of consolidating the non-conforming lot with adjoining private ownership should be available via the lot consolidation incentives described in preceding paragraphs. The primary public purpose of the use of the surplus governmental land exchange program is to provide an additional incentive technique to withdraw development from existing non-conforming properties. Each of the six mitigation programs defined above shall be implemented by development and adoption of enabling ordinances by Los Angeles County, submitted as part of the Phase III LCP. The redevelopment technique authority already exists in the County Community Development Commission and may be exercised on a project-by-project basis. The five other proposals will require the drafting of new local statutes. The County shall report both the number of substandard or nonconforming lots permanently retired through the various methods specified above and the number of newly subdivided lots and multi-unit residential units approved. The reports shall be made to the Executive Director of the Coastal Commission on an annual basis, and shall also be made available to members of the public upon request. The lot retirement program is outlined in general terms in Table 3. 4. LAND DIVISION POLICY P273 Development shall conform to Chapter 3, as amended, of the California Coastal Act of 1976. P273b On beachfront parcels, land divisions shall be permitted consistent with the density designated by the Land Use Plan Map only if all parcels to be created contain sufficient area to site a dwelling or other principal structure, on-site sewage disposal system, if necessary,. and any other necessary facilities without development on sandy beaches, consistent with all other policies of the LUP, including those regarding geologic and tsunami hazard. P273c On property encompassing stream courses, land divisions shall be permitted consistent with the density designated by the Land Use Plan Map only if all parcels to be created contain sufficient area to site a dwelling or other principal structure consistent with P79 and P80 regarding setbacks of new development from stream courses and all other policies of the LCP. -69- P273d In all other instances, land divisions shall be permitted consistent with the density designated by the Land Use Plan Map only if all parcels to be created contain sufficient area to site a dwelling or other principal structure consistent with the LCP. All land divisions shall be considered to be a conditional use. P273f Issuance of a conditional certificate of compliance pursuant to Government Code Sec. 66499.35(b) shall be subject to a coastal development permit which shall be approved, but shall be subject to conditions to implement all applicable policies of this LUP, including land division policies. P274 Development Allocation System. A maximum of 2,110 residential units within Regional Statistical Area 15 (counting from the date on which the Coastal Commission certifies the Land Use Plan) shall be approved under this Land Use Plan, consistent with the other policies of the LCP. At such time as a cumulative total of 2,110 units approved under this LUP is reached, no additional residential development shall be approved until the following infrastructure improvement is made: Construction of an additional lane on Pacific Coast Highway between Malibu Civic Center and the McClure Tunnel to be available at 1-east during the peak travel period in each direction. While development of additional residential units proceeds, a traffic and intersection analysis of Pacific Coast Highway from Malibu Civic Center through the McClure Tunnel shall be initiated as soon as possible following Commission certification of the Land Use Plan. This analysis shall compare current traffic volumes and levels of service with projected volumes and service levels based on the modified LUP. The analysis shall be performed by Caltrans or by Los Angeles County in conjunction with other affected local jurisdictions with submittal for review by Caltrans. The cap of 2,110 units specified by this policy as well as the requirement of construction of an additional traffic lane on the highway shall be subject to LCP amendment to reflect the results of this traffic analysis.
