## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Planning & Environment](https://ailawframework.com/practice/planning-and-environment.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | List each proposed condition, the page it comes from, and a blank for the lawyer edit. Do not send the comment. |
| What the lawyer must review | A city or county may regulate use through ordinances under Government Code section 65850, and a condition should be read against that ordinance and the approval it attaches to. A federal fill permit under 33 USC section 1344 is a different instrument: the Secretary of the Army may issue it after notice and opportunity for public hearings. You settle every sentence of a comment before it is sent. Opinion 512 and Rule 11, if the comment is later filed in court: a generated legal contention is not your certification. |
