The City Council has finally made a decision on the long awaited La Paz Project. After first being proposed over eight years ago the council has finally approved the project.

Out of all of the different variants of the proposal the city gave its blessing to the 112,000 square feet and 99,000 square feet proposals. The larger proposed project has to face the California Coastal Commission and possibly the state court system. If the project passes these obstacles and gets built, it will become the largest retail development in Malibu.

The larger development includes a donation of 2.3 acres of land from La Paz and $500,000 to the city. Possibly to go towards the cost of the wastewater management system. Which is a political hot potato locally with the cost of the septic system higher than anticipated and plans on who should bear the burden of the cost of its construction and maintenance.

With so much planning going into the entire project, many are delighted that the council has finally said yes to the project.

The long running and hotly debated Malibu La Paz Project is finally starting to be considered by the Malibu City Council who have hinted at its approval.

The project is split into different plans which would make way for a new commercial district with amenities for local residents as well as a new city hall to replace the current aging location.

However, the council has just gone back to the developer in a landmark discussion and asked for another plan to be drawn up to include a waste water facility instead of a new city hall - this heightened acknowledgement of the plans and developer has been noted by some as a hint that the plan may receive approval from the city council itself and be given the green light to start construction soon.

With the recent discussions changing the focus into more of a “public benefit” analysis the developer has been asked to resubmit their plans and to include other facilities such as landscaping through to Legacy Park, underground parking and golf/pedestrian routes for residents.
