California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Chico Advocates for a Responsible Econ. v. City of Chico, 252 Cal.Rptr.3d 859, 40 Cal.App.5th 839 (Cal. App. 2019):
In a mandate proceeding to review an agency's decision for compliance with CEQA, the court reviews the administrative record to determine whether the agency abused its discretion. Abuse of discretion is shown if the agency has not proceeded in the manner required by law, or the determination is not supported by substantial evidence. ( Protect the Historic Amador Waterways v. Amador Water Agency (2004) 116 Cal.App.4th 1099, 1105, 11 Cal.Rptr.3d 104.)
