California, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Neighbors v. Cnty. of Ventura, 181 Cal.Rptr.3d 421, 232 Cal.App.4th 429 (Cal. App. 2014):

"In CEQA cases, as in other mandamus cases, we independently review the administrative record under the same standard of review that governs the trial court. [Citations.] We review an agency's determinations and decisions for abuse of discretion. An agency abuses its discretion when it fails to proceed in a manner required by law or there is not substantial evidence to support its determination or decision. [Citations.]" ( Preserve Wild Santee v. City of Santee (2012) 210 Cal.App.4th 260, 275, 148 Cal.Rptr.3d 310.)
