Woodall v. City of Lafayette CA1/1
Plaintiffs Nancy Woodall and Michael Woodall brought a petition for writ of administrative mandamus challenging the City of Lafayette’s (City) denial of design review approval for their construction of a new home. Plaintiffs purchased a 1950’s, ranch-style home in Lafayette, which they sought to demolish and replace with an English-style country house. After the design review commission initially approved the design, the Lafayette Planning Commission (Planning Commission) and City Council (Council) denied approval because the project was not compatible with the neighborhood and unreasonably affected views of adjacent properties. Plaintiffs sought review of the decision, arguing the Council’s administrative findings were not supported by substantial evidence. The trial court denied the writ petition. We affirm.
