Record of Decision for the Hamline Midway Library EAW

Syllabus

In this certiorari appeal, relator challenges respondent-city's determination that an environmental-impact statement (EIS) was not necessary to proceed with the proposed demolition of a library. Relator argues that the city's decision is arbitrary and capricious and lacks the support of substantial evidence because the city failed to (1) consider mitigation by ongoing public regulatory authority; (2) consider greenhouse-gas (GHG) Retired judge of the Minnesota Court of Appeals, serving by appointment pursuant to Minn. Const. art. VI, § 10. emissions associated with demolition; and (3) make a reasoned decision based on its judgment, not its will. We affirm.
