Appellate Court rules against Rancho Palos Verdes Building Moratorium, City to Appeal
On October 1, 2008, the State Appeals Court reversed a lower court decision and decided that the Land Slide building moratorium ordinance of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes for the Portuguese Bend area constituted an unconstitutional “taking” of property, and that the City should issue building permits to property owners wishing to build homes in the area.

“A permanent ban on home construction cannot be based merely on a fear of personal injury or significant property damage,” the jurist concluded, and ordered the case remanded for further proceedings to determine an appropriate remedy.
On October 8th, the City Council decided to appeal this decision to the State Supreme Court.
