Current Developments in CEQA Law and Practice


This session will cover cutting-edge CEQA issues, focusing on recent and pending California Supreme Court cases. Highlights include the “reverse CEQA” issue, baseline, exceptions to the use of categorical exemptions, the proper approach to GHG analysis, the effect of fiscal constraints on the duty to mitigate impacts, whether increased demand for emergency services is an environmental impact, the standard of review applicable to changes in a project that has already undergone review, whether post-comment period correspondence count toward exhaustion, and the scope of relief when there is a CEQA violation.
