Malibu’s Dark Sky Ordinance, enacted in 2018 to reduce light pollution and preserve night sky visibility, primarily governs outdoor lighting on private properties and certain commercial buildings; however, it does not regulate street lighting along Pacific Coast Highway (PCH). City officials indicate no evidenced safety issues related to reduced visibility on PCH, asserting that complaints have been minimal. While the ordinance requires fully shielded lights for private properties that direct light downward, PCH fixtures, overseen by Caltrans and Southern California Edison, are not subject to these restrictions. The current regulations reflect the balance between maintaining safety on public highways and environmental conservation efforts, with potential future discussions about extending compliance to PCH lighting. Community members express concerns about darkness in less developed areas like Point Dume, but city planners maintain that visibility safety is not compromised.
