Board approves Placer Parkway land purchase, annexes Creek View property for Dry Creek fire service and sets library annexation hearing
Summary
On May 13 the Board of Supervisors approved a $650,000 right-of-way purchase for Placer Parkway Phase 1, annexed Creek View Ranch Village into County Service Area 28 for Dry Creek fire services, and set a June 10 hearing on a library annexation into CSA 28 Zone 228.
The Placer County Board of Supervisors approved several land‑use and service-area actions May 13, including a right-of-way acquisition for the Placer Parkway Phase 1 project, a service-area annexation for fire services, and a separate scheduling of a public hearing on a library services annexation.
Public Works staff presented a right-of-way contract to acquire fee title and a highway easement on a parcel owned by HJ and PE Investment. The board authorized payment of $650,000 and directed the chair to accept the grant deed and highway easement deed, subject to County Counsel and Risk Management concurrence. The county plans to transfer fee title to Caltrans for future ownership and maintenance; the highway easement will remain county property. Funding is 100% from the development-fee memorandum of agreement associated with Placer Parkway Phase 1 (SPARTA agreement), and staff said there is no general-fund impact.
Separately, the board conducted a public hearing and adopted a resolution annexing Creek View Ranch Village property (APN cited in staff report) into County Service Area (CSA) 28, Zone of Benefit 165 (Dry Creek Fire and Emergency Services). The staff report noted the per-lot cost to the developer for service within CSA 28 Zone 165 is $266.96. No majority protests were reported by the Clerk and the board voted to approve the annexation.
Earlier on the consent agenda the board adopted a resolution of intention to set a public hearing for June 10, 2025, at 9 a.m. to consider annexation of “Placer Vineyards specific plan Property 2” into CSA 28 Zone of Benefit 228 for library services (the staff report contained a notice inconsistency that staff corrected on the record; the agenda notice was the correct version and the board read the corrected language into the record). The board adopted the resolution of intention and set the public hearing date.
Board members said the Placer Parkway acquisition is an important step to complete the Whitney Ranch interchange and the new parkway alignment. The Creek View annexation was processed under the standard protest and noticing rules for CSA annexations.
