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.
Summary
Challenge to an environmental impact report for a long-range planning document intended to guide future development of a campus of the University of California, San Francisco.
