California deems San Diego's Midway Rising environmental report CEQA-sufficient
Governor Gavin Newsom signed SB 344 (Chapter 786, Statutes of 2026) on September 29, 2026, as an urgency statute effective immediately. New Public Resources Code section 21080.77 deems San Diego's Midway Rising Specific Plan Subsequent Final Environmental Impact Report sufficient for CEQA, so project approvals may rely conclusively on it, and makes its mitigation measures enforceable conditions of approval. The project covers about 4,254 homes, 2,000 of them deed-restricted affordable.
