City of Roseville violated the California Surplus Land Act (SLA) regarding Phillip Road Site

The California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) found that the City of Roseville (“City”) violated the California Surplus Land Act (SLA) by selecting a developer in 2020 and entering into a PSA without first complying with the requirements of the SLA in place in 2020. Since then, the City failed to take the necessary steps to come into compliance with the SLA by either issuing a Notice of Availability (NOA) to all required entities or declaring the property “exempt surplus land.”

Here is link to HCD’s Notice of Violation (NOV): https://savereasonfarms.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/roseville-nov-sla-120423.pdf

Under Government Code section 54230.5, subdivision (a)(1), the City has 60 days from the date of this NOV to cure or correct the violations noted herein. The City may have multiple avenues it can pursue to comply with the SLA, and HCD invites the City to further discuss these options. In the meantime, HCD urges the City to suspend any further actions to dispose of the Property.

If the City does not cure or correct all such violations by February 4, 2024, and elects to proceed with the disposition of the Property, a penalty will be assessed to the City equal to 30 percent of the final sales price. (Gov. Code, § 54230.5, subd. (a)(1).)

HCD may also pursue additional remedies authorized under Government Code section 65585 and Government Code section 65585.1.

Re: Surplus Land Act Inquiry
6382 Phillip Road in Roseville, CA

“…The property at 6382 Phillip Road is located within a portion of the Reason Farms property and was ultimately determined to not be necessary for the flood control project. Therefore, in 2006, the City analyzed potential uses for the underutilized portions of the Reason Farms property. The site at 6382 Phillip Road has been envisioned since then to be an industrial park…”
