The San Francisco 49ers professional football team hopes to build a new stadium on a city-owed parking lot currently leased by the theme park.
According to the San Francisco Chronicle, “the suit alleges the environmental review for the $937 million project to build the San Francisco 49ers a new stadium doesn’t meet state standards, including failing to address a lack of parking for 17,000 of 20,000 cars expected on game days.”
“In a rush to woo the 49ers to Santa Clara, the city … prepared an environmental impact report that pays mere lip service to the California Environmental Quality Act,” reads the lawsuit filed in Santa Clara County Superior Court, according to the Chronicle.
A previous lawsuit against the city in December alleged that approving a term sheet before certifying an environmental impact report violated environmental law.
