Sunrise Douglas Decision Published

The Third District Court of Appeal has published its decision in a case involving the environmental impact report for the 6,000-acre Sunrise Douglas community plan in the City of Rancho Cordova.

In a rather harsh opinion, the Third District ruled against the Environmental Council of Sacramento and Vineyard Area Citizens for Responsible Growth. The court found that the project opponents failed to state the facts fairly and did not address the evidence in the record (see CP&DR Legal Digest, March 2005).

The case is

Vineyard Area Citizens for Responsible Growth, Inc. v. City of Rancho Cordova

, No. C044653, 05 C.D.O.S. 2170, 2005 DJDAR 2979. It was filed on February 8, 2005, and ordered published on March 10, 2005.
