CEQA/ACTS CONSTITUTING APPROVAL
City of Irvine v. County of Orange (2013) 221 Cal.App.4th 846
County’s application for state funds did not constitute a project approval under CEQA because it did not commit the County to a definite course of action regarding the expansion of its jail facility, and did not effectively preclude consideration of any project alternatives or mitigation measures otherwise required by CEQA.
