Another 2008 Coastal Commission staff recommendation to issue a consent cease and desist order, this time in Dana Point, contains a lot similar language to the recommendation for Malibu. It also adds:

Beach grading and “grooming” and construction of sand berms may result in potential individual and cumulative adverse effects to coastal processes, shoreline sand supply, and public access including encroachment on lands subject to the public trust (thus physically excluding the public), interference with the natural shoreline processes necessary to maintain publicly-owned tidelands and other public beach areas, overcrowding or congestion of such tideland or beach areas, and visual or psychological interference with the public’s access to and the ability to use.
