SOUTHWEST REGIONAL COUNCIL OF CARPENTERS et al., Plaintiffs and Respondents, v. CITY OF LOS ANGELES et al., Defendants and Appellants; THE ICON AT PANORAMA, LLC, Real Party in Interest and Appellant., 76 Cal. App. 5th 1154

Summary

HOLDINGS: [1]-Environmental impact reports for a mixed-use development contained a sufficiently accurate, stable, and finite project description under Cal. Code Regs., tit. 14, § 15124, because the only changes involved composition and ratio of the residential to commercial footprint, while the physical layout remained consistent and within the defined outline of the project site; [2]-Recirculation was not required under either Pub. Resources Code, §§ 21083.1, 21092.1, or Cal. Code Regs., tit. 14, § 15088.5, subd. (a)(3), because the revised project did not differ much from alternatives previously analyzed; [3]-Responding to a public comment on the sewer system by stating that sewer capacity was sufficient satisfied Pub. Resources Code, § 21091, subd. (d), and Cal. Code Regs., tit. 14, § 15088, because there were no potential sewer-related problems other than temporary traffic delays.
