ÒBuilding in the ÕBu: Navigating the Malibu Zoning CodeÓ addresses the process of building a home in Malibu, from what code(s) are applicable for a given project, to how to deal with older homes that no longer meet current codes, to the actual submittal and plan review process. Flow charts and decision trees are included to help a reader decide where in the planning and permitting process their dream home lies.
Finally, as Tobias writes: ÒAfter laying out all the pitfalls, trials and tribulations of the process, I give the reader a reason to not be daunted, and to go boldly where plenty of homeowners have gone before.Ó
