If you are a Roseville resident seeking to independently analyze primary evidence in order to understand what all the fuss, be sure to read the project applicant’s Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR).

Also read these Public Comment Letters concerning the DEIR.

Summary

From a CEQA impact-avoidance perspective, the most complete and reliable way to avoid the DEIR’s admitted “significant and unavoidable” adverse impacts is the No Project alternative.

We urge City Councilmembers to not approve or build the proposed Phillip Road Project on the public parcel at 6382 Phillip Road, Roseville, California 95747 USA.

Public Question #1

Will Roseville City Councilmembers use a Statement of Overriding Considerations to blast past the public’s objections and approve the significant and unavoidable harms identified for the proposed Phillip Road Site / Phillip Road Project?

Answer: Roseville City Councilmembers should not — and the public should demand that they do not.

Help, now, please!!

Contact all FIVE (5) City Councilmembers and let each Councilmember know why they should vote NO on Industrial / “Innovation” Rezoning for Phillip Road Site.

  • 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

ATTENTION Roseville City Councilmembers:

This parcel of property (P/QP) should not be deemed “surplus” and sold by the City of Roseville to a private developer!

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.
