The Malibu City Council on Monday will decide whether to certify an environmental report and other permits pertaining to a long in-the-works five-mansion project next to Malibu Bluffs Park.

Known as the Crummer Project, developer Robert Gold is seeking to build five large homes on a 24-acre site while donating 1.74 acres and $1 million to the City of Malibu. Four of the five homes are designed to be two stories, ranging from 24 to 28 feet tall and averaging 11,068 square feet. One of the homes is one story. 

In January, the Planning Commission recommended in a 3-1 vote that the City Council certify the environmental impact report (EIR), parcel division and development standards on the project. But because it had not seen any floor plans or elevation information on the homes, the commission declined to recommend that the City Council approve construction permits for the project. 

Gold will have to present thorough construction plans for each home at a future Planning Commission meeting. The Malibu City Council meets Monday, Feb. 24 at 6:30 p.m. Check back at malibutimes.com for meeting results.
