The fastest path through environmental review is designing a project small enough to be exempt. This is the trick California quick-build engineers know: scope your project to the exemption criteria before you start design, not after. If you design first and ask about CEQA later, you will almost always find something that needs review. Design for the exemption from day one. #MrBarricade #CEQA #QuickBuild #CivilEngineering #CaliforniaPlanning
