The California Environmental Quality Act: How it Really Works
Despite its widespread and effective use as a preservation tool, CEQA is frequently misunderstood or misinterpreted. This workshop will explore CEQA from different perspectives: historic preservation professionals, City staff members, and preservation advocates.
Through a series of case studies, participants will discuss the strengths and limitations of CEQA in evaluating project impacts on historic resources, implementing appropriate mitigation measures, and advocating for historic properties.

Fate of Caliente mural on historic San Diego California Theater delayed
A decision on the fate of the large advertising mural in downtown San Diego for the Agua Caliente racetrack was delayed Thursday by the city's Historical Resources Board, until at least June.
The 80-by-40-foot ad is on the west wall of the dilapidated California Theatre, which a developer hopes to turn into a 40-story residential tower.
The sign, visible in much of downtown, has gained support of advocates of preserving historic buildings. Two smaller advertisements are on other sides of the 89-year-old structure on C Street, but received less support.
