Opening Briefs Filed in Challenges to CEQA Environmental Impact Report Prepared for ‘Railyards’ Specific Plan
Downtown Plaza, LLC v. City of Sacramento

The City of Sacramento has certified the Railyards Specific Plan Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and approved the Railyards Specific Plan, which provides a framework of policies that will lead to the eventual development of a mixed-use neighborhood adjacent to Sacramento’s urban core. Approval of the specific plan drew four lawsuits. While two of those actions have since been dismissed, opening briefs have been filed in the remaining two lawsuits.
