Exciting news for Malibu!

Despite concerns by residents and controversy the planned Trancas Market has been given the green light by Malibu City Council.

The Trancas Market is to be located at the intersection of Trancas Canyon Road and Pacific Coast Highway. However the requirements the council demanded for the project include mandatory 24-hour security, the storage of a container on the premises that holds various tools to aid in case of a disaster, and the addition of an easement bordering the highway on the west end of the shopping center that would serve as an emergency access way.

The project will add 25,728 square feet of commercial space to the existing 27,695 square foot shopping center; a new parking lot north of the gas station; a new public parking lot north of HOW?S supermarket and an on-site alternative wastewater treatment system according to the Malibu Times.
The approval by Malibu City Council also includes conditional use permits for two new restaurants, La Spiagga, an Italian restaurant run by the same restaurateur who operates Tra di Noi, and Malibu Diner. The project application also includes a proposal to enhance Trancas Creek by replanting native vegetation along its banks – which is definitely welcome news.

Malibu really is a community on the grow, a city that is always changing and improving.
