The First District Court of Appeal has concluded that a challenge to a 16-home project on Laurel Way in Redwood City is not ripe for a challenge under the Subdivision Map Act. The city issued a planned development permit, which covered the installation of infrastructure but not actual approval of the homes. A citizen group challenged the approval, claiming that the Subdivision Map Act’s grandfather provision did not apply to the 1926 Map that is being used for the project. But the appellate court ruled that because the PDP dealt only with infrastructure and not actual homes, the challenge was not ripe. Save Laurel Way v. City of Redwood City, A147942 .
