Elmood Neighborhood Assn. v. City of Davis
A group of neighbors challenged approval by the City of Davis (the City) of a 38-bed residential community for college students to be located on fraternity row, a four-lane thoroughfare that borders a university. The group claimed the City violated the California Environmental Quality Act by reviewing the project by means of a mitigated negative declaration instead of an environmental impact report. Court conclude there was no substantial evidence on which a fair argument could be made showing this infill project would create significant adverse impacts to the physical environment. Court affirm the trial courts denial of the groups petition for writ of mandate.
