SAN DIEGO (CNS) - A Los Angeles-area law firm is challenging an early step taken by the city to develop an environmental impact report for a proposed NFL stadium in Mission Valley.
In a 34-page letter addressed to Senior Planner Martha Blake and dated Monday, lawyer Douglas Carstens urged the city to reissue a document called a "Notice of Preparation," and for city officials to "develop a full understanding of the environmental consequences" before constructing a stadium.
The lawyer said his firm, Chatten-Brown & Carstens LLP of Hermosa Beach, is involved in efforts to ensure state environmental laws are followed in projects, including sports facilities.
