First District Court Holds Deficiencies in Process Do Not Require Invalidation of LAFCO Annexation Proceeding
Citizens for Responsible Open Space v. San Mateo County LAFCO, ___Cal.App.4th___

On January 31, 2008, the First District Court of Appeal affirmed the trial court’s denial of a petition for a writ of mandate seeking to invalidate the annexation of 144,000 acres along the coast of San Mateo County to the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District (MROSD). The court held that any claimed deficiencies in the annexation process did not require its invalidation.
