Fourth District Court Upholds EIR For Conversion of Mobile Home Park to Public Recreational Facilities
El Morro Community Association v. California Department of Parks and Recreation

On October 5, 2004 the Fourth District Court of Appeal upheld a judgment denying a petition for writ of mandate filed by the El Morro Community Association (EMCA), under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The petition challenged the certification of an environmental impact report (EIR) by the California Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) for a project to demolish a private beachfront mobile home park and convert the site to public facilities including a camping, parking, and picnicking areas.
