The following excerpt is from Chawanakee Unified Sch. Dist. v. County of Madera, F059382, Super. Ct. No. MCV045383 (Cal. App. 2011):
We note, as a last point regarding the standard of review, that we are reviewing an agency determination, not the decision of the trial court. Consequently, our review is independent of the trial court's decision. (See California Native Plant Society v. City of Rancho Cordova, supra, 172 Cal.App.4th at p. 637 [question on appeal is same question presented to trial court].)
