Covina Residents for Responsible Development v. City of Covina

CRRD appealed the trial court's denial of its petition for writ of mandate seeking to overturn the City of Covina's approval of an infill project located a quarter-mile from the Covina Metrolink commuter rail station. The Court of Appeal held that Public Resources Code section 21099, subdivision (d)(1), which took effect three months before the City approved the project, exempts the project's parking impacts, as alleged by CRRD, from review under the California Environmental Quality Act. Furthermore, the court rejected CRRD's contentions that the City's approval of the project violated the Subdivision Map Act and affirmed the judgment.
