SCREENING TOOLKIT

San Diego CEQA Risk Screening Toolkit

A pre-acquisition evaluation framework used to identify entitlement exposure before design investment.

CEQA risk is created during site selection — not permitting. This toolkit outlines the key discretionary triggers, overlay constraints, and environmental screening factors that affect timeline and capital.

A single discretionary trigger can shift a project from ministerial processing into full CEQA compliance — adding 6 to 24+ months and $75K to $250K+ in environmental consulting costs. Identifying that exposure before acquisition protects the deal.
