generalApr 3, 2026103

A San Diego church sued the city after officials rejected its large affordable housing plan. The city denied approval citing environmental concerns, while the church says the project qualified for fast-track approval under California streamlining law. The church asked a judge to order the city to approve the development. The outcome will test state streamlining rules against local environmental review and could affect affordable housing rollout statewide.
