Remy, Thomas, Moose and Manley LLP is a law partnership focusing on land use and environmental law since 1982.

On August 20, 2010, the First District Court of Appeal issued a decision in Suisun Alliance v. Suisun City (Case No. A125042) upholding the EIR certified for and Suisun City’s approval of the Walters Road West Project, a retail development project located near Travis Air Force Base. The court found that the City’s decision to overrule the Solano County Airport Land Use Commission and find that the project was consistent with the Travis Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan and the purposes of the State Aeronautics Act (Pub. Utilities Code, § 21670) was procedurally proper and supported by substantial evidence. The court also rejected the challenges to the EIR, holding that the City’s review and decision regarding an off-site jet fuel pipeline, wetlands, water quality and riparian habitat, and urban decay complied with the mandates of CEQA. The agency respondent in the case, Suisun City, was represented by Jim Moose, Jennifer Holman and Amanda Berlin.
