The following excerpt is from Highway 68 Coal. v. Cnty. of Monterey, 14 Cal.App.5th 883, 222 Cal.Rptr.3d 423 (Cal. App. 2017):

This court addressed the applicable standard of review in S ave Our Peninsula Committee v. Monterey County Bd. of Supervisors (2001) 87 Cal.App.4th 99, 142, 104 Cal.Rptr.2d 326.) "When we review an agency's decision for consistency with its own general plan, we accord great deference to the agency's determination. This is because the body which adopted the general plan policies in its legislative capacity has unique competence to interpret those policies when applying them in its adjudicatory capacity. [Citation.] ... A reviewing court's role is simply to decide whether the city officials considered the applicable policies and the extent to which the proposed project conforms with those policies. [Citation.]" ( Ibid. )
