Help, now, please!!
Contact all FIVE (5) City Councilmembers and let each Councilmember know why they should vote NO on Industrial Rezoning.
- Councilmembers are elected by district to serve all of Roseville.
- Land-use decisions — especially large developments like the Phillip Road Site — are among the most common catalysts for local recalls in California.
- Under California Constitution, Article II, Sections 13–19, every elected official at the state or local level can be recalled.
- Voters decide the reason for recall.
- Courts do not second-guess it.
- A policy disagreement — such as a controversial land-use vote — is enough.
City Councilmembers Are Subject to Recall
City Councilmembers in general-law and charter cities — including Roseville, which is a charter city — are subject to recall.
The recall process is governed by California Elections Code, Division 11, Recall Elections, §§ 11000–11386. See also the California Secretary of State’s official guide, Procedures for Recalling State and Local Officials.
There is no exemption for land-use decisions, CEQA votes, or controversial development approvals.
What Triggers a Recall Effort?
- Common triggers include:
- Voting against strong public opposition
- Approving unpopular development projects
- Perceived conflicts of interest
- Failure to follow public process
- Ignoring environmental or neighborhood impacts

The Phillip Road Site should not be rezoned for industrial development. Calling it “innovation” does not change the real-world impacts: truck traffic, air quality, water, wildlife, land-use compatibility, and the loss of a meaningful rural landscape.
