Question for knowledgeable folks:

There's a limit in California state law of 5 hearings per housing development proposal. Say a city tries to require that a developer participate in more hearings.

How does that hearing limit get enforced? Does someone have to sue? Can a state agency step in? Does a project get deemed approved automatically upon hearing #6?

Note: Not inviting argument here. I'm trying to understand how such a thing could/would be enforced only.

If it was approved at #6 I would assume more entities would go this route.

Developers have cash and some individuals are just stubborn.
