July 8, 2013 - The Los Angeles County Superior Court issued a premptory Writ of Mandate ordering the approvals of the Vista Canyon Project be set aside. In addition the court ordered the annexation of the Vista Canyon site to the City of Santa Clarita be set aside. Finally the court ordered the approval of the Environmental Impact Report for the Vista Canyon project be set aside.
