SMCC heads for the beach
Santa Monica City College entered into a 90-day escrow today with the owner of a seven-acre property located next to Malibu City Hall, according to the Malibu Times. If all goes well - and with two bureaucracies involved that's by no means assured - the site will be the home of a small SMCC campus.
Although state law does not require SMC to follow city zoning laws if it builds a campus in Malibu, an agreement between the city and the college forces it to do that. For the purchase to happen, it must be approved by the Joint Powers Financing Authority, which consists of city and SMC officials.
