Goleta can block the construction of The Residences at Sandpiper, according to a ruling in a $32 million lawsuit against the city.
Although the developers can appeal the decision, this could be the death knell for what would have been 87 market-rate and 22 affordable homes on 14.5 acres along Hollister Avenue.
The unanimous decision in Goleta's favor, issued late Thursday by a three-member panel of justices at the 2nd Appellate District Court in Ventura, reverses an earlier Santa Barbara Superior Court decision that would have forced officials to allow the project.
