rental housing in Poway.

permits or approvals of any projects, as defined by the California Public
Resources Code shall be accepted for processing or approval if said project has
the effect, either directly or indirectly, of decreasing the number of available

ornia Environmental Quality Act; pursuant to Section 15108 of the State Environ-
