California Court of Appeal

In a petition for a writ of mandate challenging defendant's approval of a development project on the grounds that the project’s environmental impact report (EIR) failed to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), judgment of the trial court denying petition is reversed, where EIR was not in compliance with CEQA regarding its analysis of: 1) traffic from private and school bus trips to existing schools outside the project area pending the construction of schools within the project area; and 2) the potential environmental effects from the construction of additions, either temporary or permanent, to existing schools prior to the construction of schools in the project area.
