You're probably referring to the California Environmental Quality Act. It is very unclear how these two things intersect. My guess is some court will decide sometime in the future. By default, as far as I know, CEQA still applies. My understanding of the wording there comes from https://abag.ca.gov/sites/default/files/documents/2022-10/Builders-Remedy-and-Housing-Elements.pdf https://abag.ca.gov/sites/default/files/documents/2022-10/Bu... which says > The five findings which would allow denial of an eligible project can be summarized as follows: > <snip> > 4. The project is proposed on land zoned for agriculture or resource preservation that is surrounded on at least two sides by land being used for agriculture or resource preservation or there are not adequate water or sewage facilities to the serve the project. but I am not an expert on these details whatsoever.
