The following excerpt is from Williams v. Butte Cnty., C066234 (Cal. App. 2012):
Finally, in Bowman v. City of Berkeley (2005) 131 Cal.App.4th 173, the plaintiffs in a writ proceeding succeeded in obtaining a hearing on the city's approval of a senior citizen housing project. The project was ultimately approved, defeating the plaintiffs' objections. Nonetheless, the court awarded attorney fees "despite the subsequent failure of their other causes of action." (Id. at p. 179.)
