Revised Draft Environmental Impact Report for Proposed Phillip Road Site to be recirculated for public review
Status of environmental analysis
The proposed Phillip Road Site is currently undergoing environmental analysis. Previously, the public review period for the Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was open February 3 through Thursday, April 30, 2026.
During the review and drafting of responses to public comments received on the Draft EIR, the City of Roseville found an error in the air quality modeling. As a result of this, a Revised Draft EIR with updated technical analysis is required by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). It will be recirculated for public review to ensure the community and decision-makers have complete and correct information. This is an example of the public process working as intended.
Developer revising project description
Upon notification of the need to recirculate a Revised Draft EIR, Panattoni Development, the project applicant, informed the City of Roseville that it would revise its application to remove data center use from the proposed permitted use table within the Innovation Tech Park.
The Revised Draft EIR will include an updated project description and environmental analysis, including sections related to energy demand, utility infrastructure, air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, and other topics affected by the removal of potential data center use.
Recirculating the Revised Draft EIR helps ensure the public, reviewing agencies, Planning Commission, and City Council have a clear and current environmental analysis of the project under consideration.
Public review and comment
Once completed, the Revised Draft EIR will be made available during a new public review and comment period.
Because the revised environmental document will replace the prior Draft EIR for purposes of written responses, if you want the City to consider and respond in writing to comments you had previously submitted on the February Draft EIR, you must resubmit that comment during the new comment period as part of the Revised Draft EIR process. Commenters may also update their previous comments based on the Revised Draft EIR.
The City’s written responses in the Final EIR will address comments submitted during the new public review period for the Revised Draft EIR consistent with CEQA Guidelines Section 15088.5(f).
Timeline and notification
An announcement will be shared when the Revised Draft EIR is available, including the dates of the public comment period, instructions for submitting comments, and any future public meetings.
If you are not already subscribed, you can be notified by subscribing to project email updates.
The City of Roseville encourages residents, agencies, and interested parties to review the Revised Draft EIR when it is released and provide comments based on the updated environmental analysis.

The City of Roseville appreciates the community's continued interest and engagement in the proposed Phillip Road Site project at 6382 Phillip Road.
The City of Roseville is in the process of reviewing the developer’s application for the proposed Phillip Road Site. The project is undergoing environmental review. As part of this review, the City is required to evaluate a variety of potential uses, whether or not they move forward.
We've recently received some new questions from the public. In response, we have updated the frequently asked questions (FAQs) to address the topics we've heard most often, clarify project details, and provide factual information.
These updates reflect the City of Roseville's commitment to transparency, addressing community questions, and encouraging meaningful public involvement.
One question we've heard is whether a large 'hyperscale' data center is part of the project. It is not. Hyperscale data center projects are not possible in Roseville.
There are no tenants or businesses of any kind currently proposed.
The City of Roseville evaluates all proposed projects to ensure they have a positive contribution to the local economy and quality of life of our residents.
The revised submittal includes minor adjustments made in response to ongoing City review. As an example, a new sidewalk has been added along the west side of the bridge, complementing the existing sidewalk on the east side and providing more complete pedestrian connectivity. In addition, the plans have been refined by clarifying dimensions and labeling.
The project plans and supporting application materials are nearing completion. There will be several opportunities for public input throughout the spring of 2026. The draft environmental document (DEIR) is available for public review February 3 - March 23, 2026. This is an opportunity for the public and responsible agencies to provide comments on the project's environmental impacts.
On October 4, 2024, Panattoni Development submitted a revised application (File # PL24-1010), reflecting a redesign of the project based on public input and economic needs. Panattoni is referring to this as "The Balanced Plan." Visit philliproadsite.com for more information from the developer.

According to the State of California Environmental Quality Act, environmental studies are routinely done in the earliest phase of a proposed project. These studies examine a scenario with the maximum potential impact that could occur. This doesn’t necessarily mean that the scenario will definitely occur.
Both private and public projects routinely undergo environmental study. The California Environmental Quality Act generally requires government agencies to inform decision-makers and the public about potential maximum environmental effects of a proposed project, ways to minimize those effects, and an analysis of alternatives to the project.
The purpose of the Environmental Impact Report is to evaluate the potential environmental impacts resulting from the project against established thresholds, and to identify feasible mitigation measures to reduce impacts below those thresholds. If an impact cannot be mitigated to a “less than significant” level, or below the established threshold, it is considered “significant and unavoidable.” This is not uncommon.

An Environmental Scoping Open House for the proposed Phillip Road Site was held on June 24, 2025. A brief presentation shared an overview of the project, City planning and environmental process, and next steps. Approximately 30 people attended and had the opportunity provide input on the content and scope of the Environmental Impact Report as the environmental study phase began.
Panattoni Development’s new application for the site reflects a redesign of the project based on public input and economic needs. A mix of residential, commercial, and tech-related innovation uses are proposed on approximately 183 acres.
The project application is in the early stages of the public input process and is under review by the City of Roseville. It’s the City’s role to objectively analyze the application against established standards and conduct the environmental analysis.

The previously proposed project (since withdrawn) had a Draft Environmental Impact Report that was available for public review and comment in 2023.
According to the State of California Environmental Quality Act, environmental studies are routinely done in the earliest phase of a proposed project. These studies examine a scenario with the maximum potential impact that could occur. This doesn’t necessarily mean that the scenario will definitely occur.
Both private and public projects routinely undergo environmental study.

If an impact cannot be mitigated to a “less than significant” level, or below the established threshold, it is considered “significant and unavoidable.” This is not uncommon.
It should be noted that development of the Winding Creek neighborhood (within the Creekview Specific Plan) had an environmental study that concluded that “significant and unavoidable” impacts would occur to traffic, air quality, greenhouse gas, noise, cultural, public utilities, aesthetics, and light and glare as a result of Winding Creek home development.
It is not unusual for projects to be modified following the study and public input.

The proposed project is in the midst of the public input process, which is why residents are learning about it. No action has been taken by City Council.
As with any proposed project, the City of Roseville wants to see a positive contribution both to the local economy and quality of life of our residents. The City of Roseville welcomes feedback from the public.
This site has long been envisioned for non-residential development. Previous studies were commissioned by the City in the mid-2000s to evaluate potential feasibility of uses ranging from higher education to business park/job center, which could include a range of industrial uses including innovation, research and development, light-duty manufacturing, warehousing, distribution, or office. These case studies were intended to illustrate the property’s development potential, but were not approved land use plans, nor were they intended to pre-determine the site's ultimate use.
Any future development on the site would potentially occur in multiple phases, which could take a decade or more to be built. Timing would be driven in part by market demands.
No. The property currently has Planned Development zoning, which designates a variety of specific permitted uses and standards within a larger zoning area, and is not designated as open space, park, or preserve.
The 1,754-acre property originally known as “Reason Farms” was acquired by the City of Roseville in 2004 for the purpose of constructing off-channel retention basins to store excess storm water created by new development in Roseville within the Pleasant Grove Creek watershed. The property was purchased using drainage mitigation fees collected from new development for this purpose.
Engineering and environmental studies were conducted to determine the most hydrologically superior location for the retention basins, as well as other uses of the property including habitat conservation, passive recreation, and other essential services. Portions of the site not used or needed for those purposes could be sold. If unused portions were sold, proceeds in the amount of the cost of the land plus interest would revert to the Pleasant Grove Drainage Fee fund with the remainder being deposited in the City’s Strategic Improvement Fund.
Information about potential development of this site was publicly available.
Zoning information, specific plans/development agreements, and projects of interest are publicly available on the City of Roseville’s website. People with questions about land use or future projects may contact the Development Services Department.
The City of Roseville also asks project applicants to hold neighborhood meetings about proposed projects and to communicate with adjacent landowners. The applicant held a series of public meetings.
Additionally, there will be a six-lane western extension of Blue Oaks Boulevard and a widening of the Blue Oaks widening.
Improvements would also be made to Phillip Road along the western frontage of the project.
It's the City's policy that new development must have a positive fiscal impact on Roseville. Developers pay fees which are gradually collected as new areas are built. These fees fund infrastructure to meet changing needs. Phased infrastructure improvements are anticipated many years before you ultimately see them constructed.

Gas tax and other tax revenue pay for road maintenance. In addition to building frontage improvements, development is required to pay its “fair share” into applicable traffic mitigation fee programs that fund the City’s roadway Capital Improvement Program.
The Capital Improvement Program identifies improvements—such as intersection, road, and bridge widening—that mitigate the cumulative impact of development.
Impact fee programs are used throughout the state to pay for infrastructure required as a result of development pursuant to the AB1600 “Nexus” law.
Thoughtful planning: Our planning process and urban water management planning efforts call for water assessments to ensure enough supply, even in dry years, to accommodate the added demand from new development. These efforts help us pinpoint current capacity, assess necessary expansions to infrastructure to access and deliver additional water resources.
Water portfolio diversification: Our water contract with the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation is in perpetuity. We also have access to other water sources and continue to bolster infrastructure that will allow us to obtain and share water from other agencies.
We have a growing and sustainable groundwater program, which diversifies our water portfolio and is used during dry years. The groundwater basins act as an underground reservoir that we can use and refill when surface water supplies are ample.
Not to mention, our growing recycled water system used for irrigation purposes is a sustainable water source that offsets drinking water supplies—that is a billion gallons annually.
More efficient development: As codes and regulations change, more efficient development also means new development is inherently more water-efficient—both indoor and outdoor. Our planning efforts and compliance with greener building codes and City imposed water-efficient landscape standards take into account, for example, reduced turf, efficient outdoor watering practices, high-efficiency interior fixtures, and hot water recirculation systems.
Collectively, these efforts will allow us to still grow responsibly, invest in projects that increase reliability, and spur economic development activity city- and region-wide.

Panattoni has completed a variety of projects including the McKesson, Restaurant Depot, and Amazon properties on Foothills Boulevard.
Recent industrial businesses that have located to Roseville include: Bosch, Penumbra, McKesson, Restaurant Depot, Amazon, and a manufacturing center for Quick Quack Car Wash.
Compared to the demand, there is currently a significant shortage of industrial space. The Roseville-Rocklin submarket’s industrial real estate vacancy rate is approximately 1%.
The Greater Sacramento Economic Council reports 80% of companies considering relocating or expanding in the region are seeking industrial space.
A 2020 study by the Greater Sacramento Economic Council showed Roseville’s industrial labor market growing faster than the California average since the year 2000. Roseville's industrial growth is projected to expand 17% in the next 10 years while the state is projected to remain flat. In 2019, Roseville had a total of 5,012 industrial jobs, generating $820 million in total gross regional product.
Zoning information, specific plans/development agreements, environmental studies, and projects of interest are publicly available on the City of Roseville’s website.
