Findings:

A. Governor Newsom issued a Proclamation of State of Emergency on January 7, 2025 regarding the Palisades Fire, which proclamation remains in effect. All areas accessible from Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) from Sweetwater Mesa Road east to McClure Tunnel, and from McClure tunnel westbound to Sweetwater Mesa Road are closed to regular traffic. All parks, trail easements, and public accessways are closed that normally would be accessible from PCH are therefore closed to regular public use.
B. Other areas within and immediately adjacent to the city of Malibu and within the Topanga watershed south of Mulholland Highway are subject to potential wildfire conditions such as were responsible for the Palisades Fire, these include popular hiking trails that lead into areas where heavy public use during the state of emergency, including fire sightseeing, pose a threat of renewed of fire activity and other public safety dangers that require a restriction of recreational activity during this emergency period.
