Sunset Coalition v. City of Los Angeles CA2/5
Real party in interest, The Archer School for Girls (Archer), received approval from the City of Los Angeles (the city) to make campus improvements that included the construction of three new buildings and an underground parking structure. Sunset Coalition, Brentwood Residents Coalition, Brentwood Hills Homeowners Association, and David and Zofia Wright (plaintiffs) challenge the city’s certification of the environmental impact report (EIR) and approval of the project. The trial court denied their petition for writ of mandate and entered judgment for the city and Archer.
On appeal, plaintiffs argue the city violated its municipal code and charter by approving deviations from the floor area and height limits through a conditional use permit rather than a variance.
