California Court of Appeal

Trial court order mandating the city to set aside a resolution of its Board of Supervisors designating the property in question as a historic landmark is affirmed where the trial court properly held that the city does have the jurisdiction to apply its landmark ordinance to the church property as state law exempts church property from local landmarking regulation.
