Most of those assets are further identified in the body of the trust agreement itself for specific distribution. Settlor died on January 18, 2017, without perfecting title to the aforementioned scheduled assets in the name of the trust. Petitioner successor trustee seeks a determination that the assets are held in the revocable trust.

However, the court respectfully rejects this argument as well, and petitioners’ reliance on California Clean Energy Committee v. City of San Jose (2013) 220 Cal.App.4th 1325 (“Clean Energy”) is misplaced. In Clean Energy, the local agency had delegated the authority to comply with CEQA’s environmental review to its planning commission. (Id. at pp. 1337-1338.) The delegation, however, was improper because the planning commission did not have the authority to approve the project at issue.
