Appellate Court Strikes Down Development Agreement Initiative

September 10, 2018

The firm and Earthjustice prevail in challenging an initiative that purported to approve a development agreement for the World Logistics Center, a massive warehouse project near low-income communities in Riverside County. The court of appeal holds that local initiatives may not be used to adopt development agreements. (Center for Community Action and Environmental Justice v. City of Moreno, 26 Cal.App.5th 689 (2018).)
