Opinion
RICHMAN, J.
It is probably a truism that since adoption of the California Environmental Quality Act (Pub. Resources Code, § 21000 et seq. 1 ; CEQA) in 1970, every developer has at some point before construction starts ground his teeth or clenched her fists in frustration while enduring the often lengthy process leading to certification of an environmental impact report (EIR) for the proposed project. This appeal shows that frustration is not enough to justify premature judicial action that would short-circuit the decisionmaking process intended by CEQA.
