Pacific Palisades Bowl Mobile Estates, LLC, Plaintiff and Appellant v. City of Los Angeles, Defendant and Appellant

Summary

The court held that converting a mobilehome park in California's coastal zone from tenant occupancy to resident ownership is subject to both the Coastal Act and the Mello Act. It concluded that the conversion is a statutory subdivision and therefore a development requiring coastal regulatory review, and that the mobilehome-conversion procedure does not displace other state-law requirements. The court affirmed the judgment overturning the trial court's writ of mandate.
