California Court of Appeal

Denial of plaintiff-appellants' petition for writ of mandate seeking to overturn the decision by defendant-city approving a long-term property redevelopment project is affirmed, where: 1) the General Plan adequately states population densities; 2) the building intensity requirement of Government Code section 65302(a) is satisfied; 3) the character of the development agreement approval is a legislative act, thus procedural due process rights to notice and hearing do not attach; and 4) the LUEDC committee hearings evidence was properly part of the administrative record since the evidence was available to decisionmakers prior to their decision, and even if such evidence were not part of the administrative record, an order of inclusion would not constitute reversible error absent a showing of prejudice.
