A coalition of homeowners who oppose the planned expansion of a Catholic church in Rancho Palos Verdes has sued the city for approving the project earlier this year.
The Archdiocese of Los Angeles is also a target of the lawsuit, which alleges the city failed to comply with state environmental law by approving the expansion of St. John Fisher Catholic Church without conducting a thorough review of the project.
"We think our City Council made a very serious mistake that has a negative impact on us with respect to this project, but also on this entire community. We think (the approval) was contrary to California law and a very bad precedent," said Mark Easton, a member of the group suing the city.
I for one am disappointed that litigation has been resorted to as a tool to overturn the legitimate and well-supported planning decisions of our city.
