Arcadia requested a rehearing of a Court of Appeals decision favoring El Monte in one of the 3 lawsuits involving a Public Storage facility in South Arcadia.
In the lawsuit filed by El Monte against Arcadia, a Los Angeles Superior Court Judge ruled that Arcadia acted properly in its decision to permit a storage facility in the southeast portion of the City.
The State Supreme Court ended a three-year battle between El Monte and Arcadia, dismissing a lawsuit filed against Arcadia for approving a proposed landfill along El Monte's border. Rodeffer Industries, Inc. must still get approval from several state and regional agencies before proceeding.
Arcadia, E. O. Rodeffer, and Public Storage won a round in their legal dispute with the city of El Monte. On March 12, Superior Court Judge Norman Douds ordered El Monte to allow San Gabriel Valley Water Company to dig up El Monte streets to install water lines to a Public Storage building partially located in Arcadia.
