Section § 21163.2
If you're working on a No Place Like Home project and it doesn't automatically qualify for approval under a specific government code, you can ask for a special review. You have 10 days from when the main agency tells you what kind of environmental paperwork is needed to make this request. This request is for the agency to prepare and certify all documents related to the environmental check, as outlined in another related code.
If a No Place Like Home project is not eligible for approval as a use by right pursuant to Article 11 (commencing with Section 65650) of Chapter 3 of Division 1 of Title 7 of the Government Code and is subject to this division, the development applicant may request, within 10 days after the lead agency determines the type of environmental documentation required for the project pursuant to this division, that the lead agency prepare and certify the record of proceeding for the environmental review of the No Place Like Home project in accordance with Section 21186.
