Golden Gate Village Resident Council v. County of Marin

An entity representing residents of a public housing development in Marin City filed a lawsuit alleging that Marin County and other defendants failed to comply with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) in connection with development of a new apartment building in Marin City. The plaintiff’s NEPA allegations included that the development would be “inconsistent with public safety concerns that are escalating due to climate change” because the new building would be located in a densely populated area where “the climate crisis makes wildfires, flooding, and mudslides … more likely.”
