(Government Code Section 54956.9 (a))
Armato v. City of Manhattan Beach LASC Case No. BS142266
On July 21, 2015, the Los Angeles Superior Court upheld the City Council's approval of a Coastal Development Permit ("CDP") for a single family residence at 301/303 25th Street, ruling that the decision was supported by substantial evidence. Specifically, the Court ruled that City staff was correct in concluding that the residence is only three stories high; staff correctly calculated the maximum height of the project; and former Councilmember Montgomery did not display any impermissible bias and thus there was no denial of due process. The court also ruled that the revision to the project to convert crawl space into storage space required a hearing or an appeal process, and thus issued a writ to overturn the approval of such conversion.
