The following excerpt is from Cmty. Sci. Inst. v. Cnty. of Imperial, D073676 (Cal. App. 2019):
'Judicial review of these two types of error differs significantly: While we determine de novo whether the agency has employed the correct procedures, "scrupulously enforc[ing] all legislatively mandated CEQA requirements" [citation], we accord greater deference to the agency's substantive factual conclusions.' " (Preserve Wild Santee v. City of Santee (2012) 210 Cal.App.4th 260, 275 (Preserve Wild Santee); San Diego Citizenry Group v. County of San Diego (2013) 219 Cal.App.4th 1, 11-13.)
