Placer County Sued Over Placer Vineyards
The Sierra Club and Sierra Foothills Audubon Society announced they have filed a lawsuit against Placer County over its approval of the Placer Vineyards Specific Plan, claiming that the project that would eventually create new homes for 32,000 residents doesn’t adequately preserve critical habitat areas. Placer County government unanimously approved a lower density version of project last month over another proposal that have would built enough homes for an estimated 49,000 residents.
Placer Vineyards is a primarily residential development to be built by approximately two dozen developers and property owners. It is located west of Roseville in the unincorporated area of Placer County land where it borders Sacramento and Sutter counties.
