In San Francisco and some neighboring cities, every permit is discretionary either directly or through ambiguity (https://law.ucdavis.edu/sites/g/files/dgvnsk10866/files/media/documents/CEQA_Housing_Presentation-Elmendorf.pdf https://law.ucdavis.edu/sites/g/files/dgvnsk10866/files/medi...), but it doesn’t have to be that way.
- jeffbee 4y agoThanks. I was thinking about projects like UC housing. I believe the new bill is meant to exempt public agencies from this problem.
- shuckles 4y agoYeah the UC has the great blessing of not being subject to local zoning and the great curse of being a public project subject to CEQA no matter what.
