LOS ANGELES (CNS) - A citizens group filed a legal action against the city of Malibu, alleging the City Council s approval of a short-term rental ordinance in November did not include a proper assessment of its potential impact on the environment.
Citizens for Responsible Short-Term Rental Regulation brought the petition Wednesday in Los Angeles Superior Court, seeking a court order directing the city to vacate the ordinance and conduct a “legally adequate environmental review.
Malibu City Attorney Trevor Rusin did not immediately return a call for comment.
The City Council held a public hearing Nov. 5 to consider the ordinance and on Nov. 23 approved the measure. The ordinance amended the Malibu Municipal Code governing the rental of residential units for 30 days or less and requires the presence of an onsite host as well as other restrictions.
