Malibu Plans Outreach For Vacant Lot Reuse Ideas

MALIBU, CA — Officials are in the early stages of developing plans to reuse five city-owned vacant lots.

The Planning Commission on March 18 will discuss the development of an outreach strategy to ensure officials are effectively engaging community members when it comes to soliciting ideas for the reuse of the properties.

The outreach effort seeks to identify top priorities for the future use of the city's vacant properties and develop a master plan for them. The effort is being conducted by Tripepi Smith & Associates, which was awarded a contract for the work by the City Council on Feb. 12, according to city documents.

The Planning Commission will offer input to steer the firm's efforts at its March 18 meeting.

The city-owned lots are:

• 9.29 acres at 23575 Civic Center Way — used for the Chili Cook-Off
• 1.11 acres at 23800 Civic Center Way — the triangle between Pacific Coast Highway, Civic Center Way and Webb Way
• 19 acres at 29136 Pacific Coast Highway — the Heathercliff Lot
• 29.67 acres at 6103 Trancas Canyon Road
• 2.3 acres at 23467 Civic Center Way, along La Paz Lane
