Phase 1 of the outreach process was intended to get a strong sense of community needs and general preferences regarding the types of uses for the community lands. Based on the extensive public input received, the City identified the most frequent suggestions and developed 10 categories of uses to narrow down the feedback received.
The purpose of Phase 2 was to determine which of the 10 categories of uses the community prefers for each individual land. After this Phase, City Council authorized staff to begin a phased approach for developing the lands, prioritizing community needs. The approved next steps include:
Heathercliff and loki (Chili Cook-Off Lot) Lots: The City will explore options for new soccer, baseball and softball fields as well as a multigenerational community center, including a pool, gymnasium, senior center and expanded library services.
Parcel C at Cross Creek Ranch (Formerly La Paz) Lot: The Council authorized staff to work with the Cross Creek Ranch developers to create a conceptual rendering for a potential performing arts center.
Triangle and Trancas Lots: The Council did not set direction for these lands at the meeting.
Phase 3 is focused on gathering more detailed community input based on City Council direction. Right now, this phase centers on taking next steps based on City Council Direction. The Malibu Arts Commission is exploring concepts and potential designs for a Performing Arts Center Parcel C at Cross Creek Ranch (formerly La Paz).
