DISCUSSION:

On February 26, 2018, Grant Leonard and Virginia Murillo attended a 2018 Advanced California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Workshop in San Jose. The workshop was hosted by the Association for Environmental Professionals. Transportation projects implemented by the Transportation Agency for Monterey County, as well as partner agencies’ non-transportation land use developments reviewed by the Transportation Agency frequently require compliance with CEQA. The workshop covered complex CEQA trends and recent case law.

A memorandum summarizing sessions they attended during the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Workshop is attached.
