Kathleen (Kit) Faubion advises public agency clients on land use matters. Her legal experience and knowledge are complemented by her past experience as a staff planner at the local agency level. Ms. Faubion is a member of the American Institute of Certified Planners, and with her planning experience she brings a uniquely practical perspective to her land use and California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) practice. She has provided invaluable advice to many agencies in amending general plans, zoning ordinances and similar regulations. She routinely advises local agencies on CEQA compliance, including the preparation of environmental impact reports (EIRs), negative declarations and related findings to support approval of projects.

Ms. Faubion previously served as the City Attorney for San Juan Bautista and has served as assistant city attorney and planning commission counsel for several cities and CEQA counsel for several special districts. She is a frequent speaker on land use and CEQA matters, and regularly provides technical training programs for local agency staff.
