Svitek v. City of Los Angeles CA2/2
A property owner obtained a permit to build a three-story house on a hillside overlooking Pacific Coast Highway. A neighbor whose view would be partially blocked challenged the issuance of the permit, contending that it violated the City of Los Angeles’s zoning ordinances regarding a structure’s maximum height and minimum setback from the street. After the administrative agency with the last word invalidated the permit, the property owner petitioned for a writ of mandate to reinstate the permit on both grounds. The trial court granted the petition in part and denied it in part, ruling that the permit complied with the rules governing maximum height but did not comply with the rules governing minimum setback. Both the property owner and neighbor appeal. We conclude there was no error, and affirm.
