A state appellate court has issued a final ruling that stops UC Berkeley from building student housing on People's Park.
the creation of a commemorative display honoring the park’s iconic legacy for free speech and civil rights and an open space with landscaping and trees.
Though the law requires an analysis of potential noise generated by a stadium project, for instance, the ruling marked the first time a court held that the behavior of a particular group of people whom a housing development might bring into a neighborhood must be assessed, according to University of California attorneys.
The court said the decision did not require UC regents to abandon the People’s Park project but to return to the trial court and “fix the errors” in the environmental review.“The campus is dismayed by this unprecedented and dangerous decision to dramatically expand CEQA, and the campus will ask the California Supreme Court to overturn it,” the school said in a statement.
