All Peoples Church prevails in a CEQA challenge in California: Lessons in Law, Environment, and Urban Planning from Save Del Cerro v. City of San Diego
Congratulations to our client, All Peoples Church in San Diego, California, for prevailing in a CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act) challenge to the approval of its site plan for a new facility in the Del Cerro neighborhood. This legal victory marks the latest milestone in the church’s nearly decade-long effort to build on land it purchased long ago. Prior to this case, the city denied the church’s zoning application, the church sued in federal court alleging RLUIPA violations, and the city settled, approving the site plan and paying the church’s attorney fees. Thereafter, a citizen group filed a CEQA challenge.
