A San Diego resident and an unincorporated association filed a challenge to the City of San Diego’s approval of two development projects—a 60-story mixed-use building and a 20-story hotel tower. The petitioners alleged that the respondents had erroneously concluded that the project would have insignificant impacts on greenhouse gas emissions. They also said the projects would undermine the City’s “highly-touted” Climate Action Plan.
