Is there any case law where the statute of limitations has been applied in a challenge to a city's adoption of a general plan?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Bridges v. City of Wildomar, E063986 (Cal. App. 2017):

We also reject plaintiffs' reliance on City of Coachella v. Riverside County Airport Land Use Com. (1989) 210 Cal.App.3d 1277 and Travis v. County of Santa Cruz (2004) 33 Cal.4th 757. Neither case involves the application of the statute of limitations in a challenge to a city's adoption of a general plan. The inescapable conclusion is that this lawsuit is a challenge to the procedure the City used to adopt its General Plan. Because plaintiffs did not challenge the 2008 General Plan until April 22, 2013, the action is time-barred under section 65009's 90-day statute of limitations.
