A petition for writ of mandate challenging defendant-city's certification of its final environmental impact report (EIR) and approval of a shopping center development project, under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), is granted, where: 1) defendant-city's mitigation measures for alleviating the anticipated urban decay in its downtown and at a local shopping mall are inadequate under CEQA; 2) the EIRs did not properly assess the merits of the mixed-use alternative; 3) defendant-city did not properly assess transportation, construction, and operational energy impacts in its environmental impact reports.
