California Court of Appeal
St. Vincent's School for Boys v. City of San Rafael, A116690
In an action involving challenges to the City of San Rafael's zoning rules, denial of a petition for writ of mandate is affirmed over claims that: 1) the city unlawfully amended the provisions of its general plan to delete plans for the future annexation of property owned by plaintiff; 2) the city violated the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) by certifying an inadequate environmental impact report for the revisions to the general plan; 3) the housing element outlined in the city's amended general plan was legally deficient; and 4) the trial court erred by awarding the city costs for document retrieval.
