No(s). B207721 (Cal. App. 2d Dist. Jul 16, 2009)

A California appellate court upheld a lower court decision denying a city's petition to overturn a school district's final environmental impact report (FEIR) for a high school construction project. The city argued that the school district failed to provide adequate detail and analysis sufficient to enable meaningful consideration of the environmental issues raised by the proposed project in violation of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). But the FEIR adequately analyzed the challenged impacts of the project and undertook a meaningful analysis of alternatives. Accordingly, the district complied with CEQA.
