Soka Denied Rehearing on Expansion Plan Suit
A state appellate court on Tuesday denied Soka University’s petition for a rehearing of a lawsuit in which the court ruled against its Calabasas campus expansion plans, a Sierra Club attorney said.
The school is on 580 acres in the Santa Monica Mountains, but only about 12 acres are developed. The plan, approved by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors in 1997, called for doubling the size of the campus, the attorney said.
With the 2nd District Court of Appeal’s action, the parties may now file a petition for review by the California Supreme Court.
