Save The Lagune St. Campus v. City et al. San Francisco
This case arises under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Public Resources Code section 21000 et seq.[1] A. F. Evans has proposed to construct a development, known as the 55 Laguna Mixed Use Project (the Project), on the site of the former University of California, Berkeley Extension campus. The Project would include approximately 440 residential units in new buildings and rehabilitated historic buildings, as well as retail, community, and open space. It would also result in the demolition of an historic building, a portion of a second historic building, and a retaining wall along Laguna Street. Acting through the Board, City approved certification of an environmental impact report (EIR), which concluded that the Project would have significant unmitigated impacts on historic resources at the site. Nevertheless, City found that alternatives to the Project were infeasible and that overriding considerations warranted approval of the Project. Appellant petitioned the superior court for a writ of mandate, alleging violations of CEQA. The court denied the petition. On appeal, appellant contends City violated CEQA by finding infeasible an alternative to the Project that would have avoided demolition of historic structures on the site. Court conclude Citys finding is supported by substantial evidence, reject appellants other contentions, and affirm the judgment denying appellants petition.
