Orange Citizens for Parks and Recreation, Petitioners v. the Superior Court of Orange County, Respondent…

Summary

The court held that the City's 2010 General Plan designated the property exclusively for open-space use and did not incorporate an earlier planning-commission amendment permitting residential development. Because the Ridgeline Project was therefore inconsistent with the operative General Plan, the City's approval constituted an abuse of discretion, and the court reversed the Court of Appeal's judgment. No separate opinions were filed.
