At the Placer Planning Commission meeting October 26 the Commission unanimously rejected the appeal of Morgan Creek, LLC. The appeal was for the refusal of the Planning Department to deem complete the application to build 67 homes on the golf course. The Department’s position is that zoning and the Community Plan must be changed, and because of this SB330, the Affordable Housing Act’s expedited processing, does not apply.

The Community’s response to the appeal was fantastic. Many of you wrote letters to the Commission. Well over 100 residents attended the meeting in person! We sincerely thank those who actively participated for their support. It is extremely important to the preservation of our community.

Unfortunately we’re not done yet. The golf course will likely appeal the Commission’s decision to the Placer Board of Supervisors. They have 10 days to do so. The appeal has been entered as a placeholder on the Board’s calendar for November 28. Assuming that hearing takes place we will need your support once again, and more if we can find it. Please mark your calendars and write the supervisors. We’ll let you know as soon as the date is confirmed. The contact information appears below:
