The Malibu City Council will meet next Monday night to decide on an initiative locals are hoping to place on the November ballot.
The Rob and Michele Reiner-led “Your Malibu, Your Decision” initiative aims to curb the number of chain stores that open in Malibu and would allow residents to vote on proposed development projects of 20,000 square feet or more.
Following orders from the City Council last month, city staff has prepared more than 100 pages of reports addressing several areas of concern over the proposal, including its legality and the responsibilities the city would undertake in enforcing it.
Theoretically, the Council could pass the ballot initiative as written on Monday, order it be placed on this year’s November ballot when a countywide election is scheduled, or delay it until the next local election in April 2016.
