Summary
Malibu told the Farmers Market operator to stop operating at Legacy Park immediately, ending what the city said had been a temporary arrangement.
Legacy Park was never designed or approved for a farmers market, and Malibu said unresolved safety, parking, business-access and permit-compliance problems worsened during the busy summer season.
Nearly 40% of public parking in the Civic Center area is taken up by vendor vehicles and booths on weekends, the city said, limiting access for visitors and nearby businesses.
Malibu said it still supports keeping the market in the community and is pushing to move it back to its approved County Library lot, while offering an interim approved site outside City Hall as L.A. County processes a permanent license.
