 | Land Conservation: Home Builders Sue over Bay Area Land Use Policy |
 The Association of Bay Area Government (ABAG) had a lawsuit filed against them by the Home Builders Association of Northern California suggesting that ABAG’s new land-use policy, called Projections 2009, does not address environmental impacts. The policy restricts development in urban areas to 900 acres a year for the Bay Area. Projections 2009 was put into place without an environmental review, per CEQA. Said Damien Schiff, an attorney with Pacific Legal Foundations who is representing the HBA, “We’re asking the court to direct ABAG to perform a CEQA analysis to determine whether projections will have a positive impact on the physical environment of the Bay Area.” A spokesman for the HBA said that they have tried to get ABAG to address these concerns for over a year and that filing the action was a last resort.
