ICF summarizes the case of Sunnyvale West Neighborhood Assn. v. City of Sunnyvale City Council, 190 Cal.App.4th 1351 (2010). On April 27, 2011, the California Supreme Court denied requests for de-publication of the case and has allowed the decision to stand as precedent for California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) compliance. In the Sunnyvale West decision, the California Court of Appeal, Sixth District invalidated an environmental impact report (EIR) for using an inadequate baseline.
