Decision
Judgment for Regents of the University of California affirmed.
The California Court of Appeal found that the environmental impact report for a long-range planning document to guide future development of a campus of the University of California, San Francisco was compliant with CEQA. Among the arguments rejected by the court was a contention that a mitigation measure providing for the purchase of carbon offset credits to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions was unenforceable and that the details of the measure were improperly deferred.
