@CityofLaMesa It's ironic that jurisdictions choose not to grant the existing infill exemption either to (1) avoid, or (2) encourage litigation.
It also matters less in jurisdictions like @CityofLaMesa, which have a practice of granting the existing if squishy CEQA infill exemption. This bill will benefit the many more jurisdictions that refuse to grant the exemption, either to oppose homes, or to avoid litigation risk.
