A judge has upheld La Habra's decision to block a plan by Lennar to build nearly 450 homes  overlooking the city — but the nation's second largest developer holds an ace in the hole. Superior Court Judge Sheila Recio has denied a petition by the Miami-based builder to reverse the city's 2020 decision to reject its development on the Westridge Golf Course at 1400 South La Habra Hills Drive, the Orange County Register reported. The judge also denied Lennar's request to overturn Measure X, a November 2020 referendum banning development of open space without voter approval.
