20th Street Owner and the Board dispute whether this court should review the trial court's or the Board's factual findings for substantial evidence. When an administrative decision affects a fundamental vested right, the trial court must exercise its independent judgment on the evidence. (Schafer v. City of Los Angeles (2015) 237 Cal.App.4th 1250, 1260, 188 Cal.Rptr.3d 655 (Schafer ).) If no fundamental vested right is affected, the trial court reviews the agency's factual findings under the substantial evidence test. (Ibid. ) On appeal, if the substantial evidence test applies below, this court reviews the agency's findings under the same substantial evidence test. (Antelope Valley Press v. Poizner (2008) 162 Cal.App.4th 839, 851, 75 Cal.Rptr.3d 887.) Likewise, if the independent judgment test applies, we review the trial court's findings under the substantial evidence test. (Ibid. )
