California Environmental Quality Act Part 2: CEQA Case Law
The California Environmental Quality Act requires qualified historic resources to be reviewed, and often projects make their way into trial courts, appellate courts, or the California Supreme Court. Decisions often inform updated CEQA guidelines, which are given great weight in later court decisions. This 90-minute webinar will review a few exemplary CEQA court cases related to historic preservation to help participants gain a better understanding of recent interpretations of the statutes.
