Lawsuit to block Huntington Library expansion threatens city
A local group named Citizens for Preservation of Environmental Quality and Dr. Richard Lamb filed a Pasadena Superior Court suit to stop Huntington Library expansions. The action could delay a building permit despite prior tentative authorization for a new wing, renovated building, and a larger parking area with a second north entrance abutting Orlando Road. The petition claims the city abused discretion and misused environmental data while the library waits for the city to move. Sources note residents protested the Orlando gate, and city officials say no party to negotiations. The case remains uncalendar.
