That sounds like a taking without due process. It should also be noted that the problem is more than tall trees since it also restricts Treanor's future development of his property. As I understand, Treanor could not alter his house so that it would cast a shadow on the solar panels, even if the alterations were permitted by zoning laws. Treanor might go to the Pacific Legal Foundation and ask them to finance the appeal since this is a taking of property in the guise of a nuisance regulation.

Were the trees there before the solar panels went in? IF they were didn't Vargas realize the shade pattern or that they would grow? IF NOT, then this seems like a stupid rule. So who was there first?
