Malibu Middle and High School Campus Specific Plan and Local Coastal Plan Amendment Project

Malibu Middle and High School Campus Specific Plan and Local Coastal Plan Amendment Project

The Proposed Project would redevelop and modernize the existing MMHS campus and former JCES campus to create three distinct areas: Middle School Core, High School Core, and shared facilities. Implementation of the Proposed Project would result in demolition of all 11 buildings on the former JCES campus and 7 buildings on the MMHS campus, totaling 147,556 square feet of demolition. The currently constructed Building E and the under-construction Buildings A/B would remain, with all other structures removed. No changes to the existing football/track, baseball, or softball fields would occur with the exception of the development of new field houses and additional parking adjacent to the softball field. The Proposed Project would result in 32 classrooms and 8 labs and a total of 190,967 square feet of building space, providing the MMHS campus with a total of 47 classrooms and 12 labs and a total of 240,650 square feet of building space. Building D, the Middle School physical education center, would have a maximum height of 45 feet above grade to accommodate the gymnasium and would provide an accessible path to the hardcourt area on the upper level. The High School Building C would have a maximum height of 36 feet above grade, while the northern portion, adjacent the slope that separates the two pads, would have a maximum height of 45 feet. The High School Building J, the gymnasium would have a maximum height of 45 feet in order to accommodate California Scholastic Federation height requirements for indoor volleyball. Under the Proposed Project, the new Theater building would have a maximum height of 45 feet above grade, while the other performing arts facilities would be 36 feet above grade. Site access would remain along Morning View Drive, with a centrally located drop-off area for buses and parents/guardians between the Middle School and High School Core areas. A total of 451 parking spaces would be developed under the Proposed Project. Additionally, the Malibu Middle and High School Campus Specific Plan is proposed to regulate the project. Adopting the Specific Plan is a discretionary, legislative, decision that must be made by the City of Malibu’s City Council. In order to meet the District’s Education Specifications, the California Interscholastic Federation, the National Federation of State High School Association, the District is proposing that Buildings D, C, H and J exceed the LIP’s 28-foot height requirements. Additionally, the labs located in Building C would require fume hoods that would exceed the height restrictions for rooftop mounted equipment. Development standards established under the Specific Plan include the building specifications such as heights, setbacks, design standards for landscaping and signs.
