Phillip Road Site Draft EIR

Argued the DEIR is legally defective because it analyzes a low-intensity village while the infrastructure — a 49 MVA substation, 45 MW of diesel generators, and a six-lane freight route — is built for a data center and logistics hub. Urged the commission to pause, correct the project description, and recirculate the EIR.

An attorney for Placer County Residents for Responsible Development said the group is still reviewing the EIR, noted similar failures in a prior industrial version's EIR, and requested an extension of the comment period because air modeling documents haven't been made public.

Speaking for the Sun City Roseville community, she said residents still lack enough information for an accurate assessment and are concerned about potential biohazards, data centers, and effects on utility rates.
