I'm not sure how they are related at all. One was in a park that's mostly protected and the other is not. The lawsuits against LMNA was due to the fact that they wanted to take a parking lot inside of the already existing park. They argued first (IIRC) about the ordinance, and then they argued that parking lots are vital to having people actually be able to access and enjoy a park. Remember that Lucas just got tired of it all and packed up. Friends of the Parking Lots never actually won the case.

With One Central though, the whole plan is to cap the tracks and build on private land. Considering this isn't actually in the park itself and also on some private land...yeah they aren't similar situations.
