California Court of Appeal December 19, 2000, A088919 (Sutherland v. City of Fort Bragg)

Opinion

SEPULVEDA, J.

In 1977, plaintiffs Douglas and Jill Sutherland bought the Barracks Mall in downtown Fort Bragg, a two-story commercial and residential building that occupies the lot on which it is situated, up to the perimeter of the property line. At that time and continuing to 1997, the lot adjoining Barracks Mall to the south, owned by David Codling (Codling), was vacant.
