According to the decision, the planning division initially approved the project but the neighbors appealed and the oversight commission reversed the approval. Hence the lawsuit and appeal of the trial court's ruling. Interestingly, the court left open the question of whether a project comprising a single-family home plus ADU would fall under the Housing Accountability Act. If the owners are still feeling litigious they may be able to file their original project proposal (5,000 sf. with ADU), get denied, sue the county again, and possibly get a different result.
