Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Statutory Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Government Code section 65759
Reasons for Exemption
Government Code section 65759(a) provides that the California Environmental Quality Act does not apply to any action necessary to bring its general plan or relevant mandatory elements of the plan into compliance with any court order or judgment. That section further provides that the local agency shall, however, prepare an initial study to determine the environmental effects of the proposed action necessary to comply with the court order.
Here, CEQA does not apply to the Project pursuant to Government Code section 65759 because the City of Hawaiian Gardens prepared an initial study pursuant to Section 65759 following the issuance of a writ of mandate in the matter of Californians for Homeownership, Inc. v. City of Hawaiian Gardens directing the City to complete rezoning required under Government Code sections 65583(c)(1)(A) and 65583.2(c) to implement the City’s Housing Element. The initial study determined that the Project would not have a significant effect on the environment, and that no additional environmental review was necessary under CEQA.
