Last minute legal objections to the proposed Malibu cemetery have been dropped … and it appears that the cemetery now has a green light to start construction.
The proposed Malibu Memorial Park is to be constructed at the corner of P C H at Malibu Canyon Road … across the road from Pepperdine’s broad green lawn.
The Mountain Resource Conservation Agency … M R C A … had filed an appeal to the city council over the planning commission’s approval of the cemetery.
It’s objections centered on the loss of coastal recreational uses on the land … which had been zoned for coastal visitor uses.
The city planning commission added cemeteries to the list of allowed uses in a little-noticed move.
In its notice … the City planning department says M R C A has dropped its appeal.
And the city says the approval for the cemetery is a done deal … and cannot be appealed to the Coastal Commission.
We’ve asked the M R C A why it suddenly dropped the appeal … but have received no answer.

Trouble at Trancas.
The Trancas Country Market sewage treatment plant has been failing … repeatedly.
The owners have just been given permission for rebuilding the sewage plant … which serves the Vintage Market grocery store … Starbucks coffee outlet … Kristy’s restaurant and the few shops at the center.
And it’s not just rebuilding … the overall sewage capacity will be increased …. to allow an additional restaurant to be added at Trancas.
The city says that any any intensification of use at the shopping center … and any additional restaurant use … will require city planning commission approval.
The expanded sewage plant will be up behind the gas station at P C H at Trancas Canyon Road.
No parking will be lost.
The center’s latest lawyer … Ken Ehrlich … tells KBUU News that the existing buildings at Trancas will not be expanded … as a new restaurant will sit in some of the existing buildings that sit vacant 4 years after the center opened.
