<br />Estoppel —After Finding Church Does Not Have
<br />Required Use Permit, County Orders Religious
<br />Services Stopped
<br />Church sues, arguing equitable estoppel for lack of prior
<br />land use regulation enforcement and RLUIPA violations
<br />Citation: Guatay Christian Fellowship v. County of San Diego, 2011
<br />WL 6450742 (9th Cir. 2011)
<br />The Ninth Circuit has jurisdiction over Alaska, Arizona, California,
<br />Guam, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington.
<br />NIN IH CIRCUIT (CALIFORNIA) (12/23/11)—This case addressed
<br />the issue of whether a county's 20-year failure to enforce land use regu-
<br />lations against a church holding religious services without a required use
<br />permit equitably estops the county from enforcing the land use regulations
<br />against the church. The case also addresses what is required for a Religious
<br />Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act ("RLUIPA") claim to be ripe.
<br />The Background/Facts: Since 1986, the Guatay Christian Fellowship
<br />(the "Church") had been holding religious services in a recreation build-
<br />ing located on the grounds of the Pine Valley Trailer Park (the "Park").
