Madrigal v. City of Huntington Beach
Court consider whether the trial court abused its discretion in determining the City of Huntington Beach (the City) properly issued a grading permit without conducting an environmental review of the permit's impact, pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Pub. Resources Code, S 21000 et seq.). "The fundamental purpose of CEQA is to ensure 'that environmental considerations play a significant role in governmental decision-making' [citation]." (Fullerton Joint Union High School Dist. v. State Bd. of Education (1982) 32 Cal.3d 779, 797.) "CEQA must be interpreted to afford the fullest possible protection to the environment within the reasonable scope of statutory language. [Citation.]" (Day v. City of Glendale (1975) 51 Cal.App.3d 817, 823.)
The judgment is affirmed.
