CEQA Streamlining

The CEQA process tends to be lengthy, sometimes taking up to 3 years or more due to litigation, protracted review and approval schedules, and general stakeholder decision making.

CEQA streamlining provisions typically expedite evaluation and review processes resulting in reduced time and effort critical to project timelines.
