In 2004 the City of Roseville purchased a 1,700 acre property known as Reason Farms generally located northwest of the City limits.Placer County previously insisted that the Reason Farms property be identified as a conservation area in the Placer County Conservation Plan (PCCP).
City of Roseville decided to not participate in the Placer County Conservation Plan (PCCP).
The reason the City offered for declining to participate in PCCP:
“Since inclusion of the property (i.e,. “Reason Farms”) in the PCCP could significantly impact the City’s ability to construct both the retention basin and the recreation features, staff has determined that annexation of the property is preferable at this time. Annexation of the property will provide the City more certainty for both these projects since the PCCP does not apply to City owned property.”
