In Action Apartment Ass’n v. City of Santa Monica, No. B201176 (Aug. 28, 2008), the California Court of Appeal (Second District) denied a facial challenge to the city of Santa Monica’s affordable housing exaction ordinance. The court relied upon the legislative/adjudicative distinction holding that Nollan/Dolan analysis is only applicable to individual decisions regarding permit applications, and cannot be used to challenge legislative decisions generally applicable.
