MRCA Quietly Plans Malibu Campground Meeting — In LA
Written by 991KBU on June 22, 2018
The MRCA now says it will have a public meeting … next Wednesday … about its plan for a large campground just above Malibu.
6 o’clock Wednesday … in Los Angeles.
Turns out to the meeting will mean nothing …. legally.
It’s just a scoping meeting … where some lower level bureaucrat will be there to explain what is it planned … and take notes on comments.
The Mountain Recreation Conversation Authority wants to put in a group campground above Malibu … in the mountains west of Pepperdine and east of Corral Canyon.
It’s called Puerco Canyon … it’s the area where director James Cameron gave a huge chunk of land to Joe Edmiston’s park agency … the MRCA.
plan would put in 25 tent pad sites, covered dining and kitchen areas, a covered group gathering area and other buildings.
An enclosed cooking facility might be included … because the campground area is a major fire concern for residents below.
That is planned for a canyon just above the Malibu Community Jewish Center and Synagogue.
To the west of there … above Corral Canyon … a parking lot for up to 90 vehicles … public restrooms and trailhead amenities on the western part of the parcel .
Access to all this would be up Puerco Canyon Road … a very narrow and steep one-lane route.
All this would be outside the city limits … except the road … which is city property.
M R C says the scoping meeting .. for the convenience of property owners and residents in the Project area” will be held in Pacific Palisades.
That’s 25 miles away from the project … past several public meeting rooms but within the control of the MRCA and its armed police force.
The scoping meeting will be held at Temescal Gateway Park … at Sunset at temescal Canyon Road … in Los Angeles.
It’s next Wednesday … at 6.
