Residents for Responsible Development v. Covina
In this CEQA action Covina Residents for Responsible Development (CRRD) appeals from the trial court’s denial of its petition for writ of mandate seeking to overturn the City of Covina’s approval of a 68-unit, mixed-use, infill project located a quarter-mile from the Covina Metrolink commuter rail station. CRRD contends the project’s significant parking impacts required the City to prepare an environmental impact report (EIR) rather than the mitigated negative declaration it adopted in March 2016. We conclude section 21099, subdivision (d)(1), which took effect three months before the City approved the project, exempts the project’s parking impacts, as alleged by CRRD, from CEQA review. We also reject CRRD’s contentions the City’s approval of the project violated the Subdivision Map Act and affirm the judgment.
