Court of Appeal Rejects Redevelopment Agency’s Determination That Agricultural Area Is Blighted

November 25, 1987

The firm prevails in challenging a redevelopment plan that would have allowed industrial uses on productive agricultural land in Solano County. The appellate court reverses the trial court, holding that the Agency’s approval violated both the Community Redevelopment Law and the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). (Emmington v. Solano County Redev’t Agency, 195 Cal.App.3d 491 (1987).)
