COALITION OF CONCERNED COMMUNITIES
v.
CITY OF LOS ANGELES (Catellus Resident).

No. S119897.

Supreme Court of California.

December 17, 2003.

Petition for review granted; issues limited.

The issue to be briefed and argued is limited to the following: Does the term "housing development" — for purposes of the Mello Act requirement that a developer provide affordable housing, where feasible, when a new housing development is constructed within the coastal zone subject to the jurisdiction of the California Coastal Commission (Gov.Code, § 65590) — refer only to the actual housing component of a project, or is the Mello Act applicable if some aspects of the project are in the coastal zone even if all actual housing is to be constructed outside the coastal zone?
