The Newport-Mesa Unified School District’s plan to construct a $32-million performing arts complex at Estancia High School is being challenged by the city of Costa Mesa in a lawsuit that alleges the project has not undergone adequate environmental review.
In a petition for writ of mandate filed in Orange County Superior Court this year, Costa Mesa City Atty. Kimberly Barlow said Newport-Mesa trustees approved the project in October 2019 and submitted plans to the state architect in November without holding adequate and timely public hearings.
The city “and the public will suffer irreparable harm by respondents’ failure to take the required steps to protect the environment and follow mandatory environmental review in compliance with the law,” the document states.
