Is a plan to minimize impacts to adjoining and nearby properties required if no property rights are being acquired?
Response: In some cases, a plan would be required. It depends on the findings of the CEQA environmental review documents. If the project might cause significant impacts, these must be avoided or mitigated, or the sponsor must find “Overriding Considerations” before moving forward. A finding of “Overriding Considerations” may not be appropriate if there is potential for damage to nearby properties. Preventing or mitigating such damage may be the only appropriate course.
