CEQA Projects

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Every proposed project requires some level of environmental review pursuant to CEQA, unless an exemption applies. Projects as proposed may not be approved if there are feasible alternatives or feasible mitigation measures available which would substantially lessen the project's significant environmental impacts (Public Resources Code §21002).
