Ciraulo v. City of Newport Beach
Appellants appeal from the trial court's order denying their petition for a writ of mandate. The Ciraulos had sought an order requiring the City of Newport Beach (the City) to grant them a variance from the ordinary strictures of its building code, and thereby allow then to retain the portion of their newly built home which had been constructed in violation of that code. The Ciraulos argue the trial court's order must be reversed for two reasons: First, they assert the court abused its discretion in denying their request to take limited discovery to augment the administrative record in support of their estoppel claim; and second, they contend the court prepared an insufficient statement of decision.
