Along with City of Inglewood v. City of Los Angeles and Alliance for a Regional Solution to Airport Congestion v. City of Los Angeles, this lawsuit asserted challenges under the California Environmental Quality Act to the approval of a $4.5-billion set of redevelopment and expansion projects at the Los Angeles International Airport. Among other alleged shortcomings in the environmental review, two of the lawsuits charged that respondents failed to adequately analyze and mitigate the project’s impacts on greenhouse gas emissions and/or that respondents should have approved an alternative that would have resulted in lower greenhouse gas emissions.

Memorandum of understanding approved by city council.

On August 24, 2016, the Los Angeles City Council approved a memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the City and the Alliance for a Regional Solution to Airport Congestion (ARSEC) that resolved a lawsuit ARSEC brought in 2013 under the California Environmental Quality Act to challenge a major redevelopment and expansion of the Los Angeles International Airport. ARSEC’s arguments had included a claim that an alternative with lower greenhouse gas emissions should have been chosen. The MOU provided that the City would not proceed with a key feature of the selected alternative, the relocation of a runway to be 260 feet closer to residential neighborhoods.
