The California Coastal Commission will decide at its monthly meeting Wednesday in Huntington Beach whether to grant the City of Malibu’s request to allow field lights at Malibu High School. The commission’s staff has recommended approval for the field lights proposal, with several modifications to the proposal made by the city.
Staff recommends that from November to early March, lighting be allowed at Malibu High School until 7:30 p.m. for up to three nights per week. From Sept. 1 to May 31, lighting would be allowed until 10:30 p.m. for as many as 18 times. Staff recommends the caveat that lights not be allowed more than twice per week, and in that case not on consecutive nights.
