Environmentalists Score Points on SANDAG Remand
Following up on the California Supreme Court’s recent ruling in environmentalists’ challenge to the San Diego sustainable communities strategies, a split appellate court has concluded that the case is not moot simply because the San Diego Association of Governments has completed a new SCS with a new environmental impact report. The court further concluded that the 2011 SCS EIR is deficient in several respects – most particularly by focusing alternatives on traffic congestion relief rather than lower vehicle miles traveled.
