California Court of Appeal

In an action challenging a city's approval of a shopping center renovation under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Pub. Resources Code, 2 section 21000 et seq., alleging a flawed project environmental impact report (EIR) and failure to consider mitigation measures, the trial court's rejection of the challenge and award of costs to the city is: 1) affirmed where substantial evidence supports the city's determinations; but 2) reversed as to award of costs, where the trial court erred by awarding certain subcategories of costs to the city.
