The City acquired the “Trancas” lot in November 2016 and the “Heathercliff,” “Chili Cook-Off” and “Triangle” lots in April 2018. The “La Paz” lot was donated to the City in February 2020. Shortly after acquiring four of the five lots, the Woolsey fire swept through Malibu in November 2018, followed by the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020. As these major events significantly impacted the community and required ample City resources, the City had to postpone the public engagement and development process related to these lands. Since the last form of outreach for these lands was done over a decade ago, the purpose of this ongoing outreach program is to reevaluate the community’s long-term needs and priorities to make well-informed decisions on the future of these lands.
