01 / The recorded outcome

What happened

The City’s CEQA notice identifies the project at 7120 North Riverside Drive and records a May 21, 2026 approval S1. Its 2025 recirculated EIR explains that a court granted a petition in part concerning municipal-code compliance and greenhouse-gas review while rejecting an alternatives challenge S2. This is a subsequent reapproval, so describing the project only as “voided” would be stale S1S2.

04 / What this record does not establish

The boundary of the finding

  • Notice of Determination documents an approval, not final construction, all permits or exhaustion of appeals.
  • The remand summary comes from the City’s EIR rather than the court’s signed judgment.

Latest cited status: City reapproval is documented May 21, 2026; later litigation and construction status not verified.

One property. A dated record. A clearer next move.
