SAN DIEGO - All Peoples Church filed a lawsuit Monday against the City of San Diego that alleges the city council's rejection of its large-scale church project in Del Cerro violates federal protections for religious institutions.
The project was approved by the San Diego Planning Commission, but some Del Cerro residents opposed the project, calling it a"megachurch" that would cause significant traffic and environmental impacts.Save Del Cerro, a community group made up of more than 1,000 residents, said the project would create safety hazards due to the increased vehicle traffic.
The lawsuit alleges the city violated that law and"imposed its land use regulations in a manner that treats the church's religious land use less favorably than comparable secular activities."
