ALTERNATIVES

A Denial action may need to be continued to a date certain so that staff can prepare Findings for Denial.
PRIOR BOARD ACTION
The project was originally approved by the Board on April 3, 2012 (Item 19, Legistar 12-0224). Following the approval actions, a lawsuit was filed against the County on May 7, 2012, contending the Mitigated Negative Declaration was legally inadequate.
