Edge’s Malibu mansions plan put on hold

CALIFORNIA’S coastal development agency has postponed voting on U2 guitarist The Edge’s plan for a cluster of mansions overlooking Malibu at the musician’s request.

Staff for the California Coastal Commission recommended that officials reject The Edge’s project at its meeting.

The proposal led by the musician, whose real name is David Evans, includes five multi-level homes ranging from 7,220 to 12,785 square feet to be built on a ridgeline in the Santa Monica Mountains overlooking Malibu.
