Malibu may ban the use of dangerously flammable plants as landscaping.
The city already has an ordinance that prohibits certain landscaping if it consumes lots of water … and that ordinance promotes the use of drought-tolerant plants and trees.

The next city council meeting is a week from Monday.

Plans to replace the staircase at Point Dume State Beach are hung up … by a neighbor who objects to the replacement project.
California State Parks has been trying for years to replace the staircase that goes down the cliff … from the nature preserve on the bluff down to Big Dume and Little Dume beaches.
Some heavy equipment will be needed … including a 100 ton crane … which will have a 140 swing arm.
The new staircase will be 240 feet in length … and will sit on 36 cast in drilled hole pilings.
A neighbor has formed a group called Freinds of Point Dume.
They hired local project exoedite Dion Schmitz to file objections at the city Planning Commission.
The objections .. not enough parking … violated CEQA … et cetera.
The Planning Commisson rejected the objections and approved the access plan … Schmitz filed an appeal with the city council.
They will hear the appeal January Tenth.
