Episode Details

Wolfgang Puck is set to open a massive, two-story Malibu restaurant on Pacific Coast Highway, replacing Gladstone’s — a Frank Gehry-designed space with dining, bar, event rooms, and a public deck — but the project’s new bus stop has ignited local controversy. Residents fear it could trigger state law SB79, allowing denser housing near transit, which could threaten emergency access in a still-recovering area hit by wildfires. While officials and developers insist the bus stop won’t activate housing provisions and would have opposed it otherwise, some residents remain skeptical, worried future interpretations might change the rules. The project promises luxury and revitalization, but the debate over its long-term impact continues.
